Why do we work with the people that we do. Is there one thing that a person or a company does or is it the relationships that we have built? I have an appraiser that wants our business. He has brought doughnuts to our office every Friday for more than a year. I am sure that he gets deals from us. But is it because we feel the obligation to give him business or is it because he is so determined?
I think it is like going fishing. When I started getting serious about sport fishing, I stopped fishing with different peope. I only fished with people that enjoyed and knew how to fish. When I brought people that didn't know the sport, I spent more time working like a guide than fishing. Since then I have been more selective of the people that I take. I still take friends that don't fish much. But not as often.
So what I am trying to say is that I feel comfortable working with the select few that I work with. They have proven themseves over time and we share the same values.
