Know it all AND do it all?
Wanda posted this blog, and I believe we should all read this. It is something we all need to remind ourselves of. Be good at what you do.. and not stretch yourself.
Know it all AND do it all?
An out-of-area real estate agent called me as she was coming down from Salt Lake City. She asked if I was available to open doors to several homes for her clients since her electronic key didn't work here in southern Utah. I told her I was not available.
She went on to say, "I wish there was just one Multiple Listing Service across the state so I would have access to all selling areas."
I said, "Personally, I hope that never happens." I would not consider representing my clients in selling / buying in Salt Lake City, it's 4 hours away! Even though I am licensed to sell in the entire state, it doesn't necessarily mean I should. Instead, I'd refer them to an experienced REALTOR® for the following reasons:
- All real estate is considered local
- There are no connections with outside communities
- The ability to represent clients to the fullest becomes limited
- Lack of knowledge regarding areas, schools and neighborhoods
- No expertise regarding up-to-the-minute city or county restrictions
In my opinion, it's impossible to know it all AND do it all. I represent clients in the areas I am familiar with and the community in which I am very much involved. Besides, there is less chance for making a huge mistake for lack of knowledge which as we know is no excuse when standing before a disciplinary committee or a judge.
What are your thoughts?
