Are you *Fun* to work with?

I've always said that if you aren't having fun doing what you do then your not doing what you should. Yes, there are good clients and well lets just say not so good but at the end of the day those who have fun and love what they do go home with a smile on their face.

Beth Ann. I would hope so. I try not to sweat things too much. Most of the time the deals we do take care of that! Congratulations on your featured post!

I agree you need to be light hearted in these stressful situations.  It makes everyone's life easier. Often the agent is the one who sets the tone.

Fun is important for us and for our health. So go have fun and be fun to be with.  It's catchy!

Most of my clients became close friends. Im not sure If I'm fun, but im good at creating relationships!

Good points!  Way too many people take themselves way to seriously!

Great post BethAnn!  Such simple acts that can make the world of difference to yourself and others around you!  

What a good reminder. One of the best testimonials I ever received was that I made the process fun...thanks for the refresher!

Good advice. Reminds me of the Always Wear Sunscreen song. Thanks for sharing.

I love this! What a great post! Thank you for sharing this.

Having fun is actually in my mission statement!  I am known for my sense of humor and my fun personality, so it keeps me sane in this crazy business to always make sure everyone around me is having fun.  Case in point...after a really long, hot day of showing waterfront vacation homes to some clients (a couple with two kids in tow), we got to the last house and they were loving it.  We walked down to the water and I kicked of my sandles,  jumped into the lake knee deep and said, you could be doing this here every weekend!  The kids screamed with delight and joined me and the wife said, "I think we better make an offer on this one!"  I love my job!!!

Real Estate can be so stressful and yes.. Mundane..  It is always nice to let the clients know that this can be and really is an exciting process..   The rewards way outweigh the steps..

I like the idea that we are tone-setters!  I enjoy all my clients and learn something from every transaction! 

Really not sure. I can only be myself. If usually clicks. And then it works.

I am sure the range of people we can go along with is very wide. Chances of running into a person, who would immediately cause a strong negative chemistry is not great. With them nothing would help. It would end on a bitter note no matter how you try.

With others just being yourself and honest, is what works for me. If there is a comfortable setting and everyone feels good, it makes it fun.

Just jokes, even the best of them, would not compensate for lack of professionalism

I just found you through Kerrie Greenhalgh, what a gal.  I like to be fun to work with.  Sometimes the agents on the other side are not knowledgeable and work their butts off to be difficult to get the deal done for their clients and mine.  So I try to lighten them up.  Their clients and my clients want the same end.  We need to facilitate and get out of the way.  Make it happen.  Keep your ego for the big things like little league hockey or whatever.
