These Days, Giving 100% Just Isn't Enough.


Craig Rutman, your Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area Realtor knows that if I can expect you to hire me, I'm going to have to give MORE than 100% of my effort to you.


Yeah. Yeah. I know what you're thinking.

"Craig, have you finally gone off the deep end?"

Well, my dear readers, indulge me for a moment if you will.

In my opinion giving 100% is the minimum required just to stay in

business these days.

Buyers and sellers expect us to give 100% of our effort in getting their home

sold, or helping them in the purchase of a new one.

We need to be giving more than 100% if we can expect a client to hire us.

Real Estate is a service oriented business, and these days our service needs to

be unprecedented.


These Days, Giving 100% Just Isn't Enough.

Craig,

Well at least we know you don't "monkey around" when it comes to taking care of your clients.

Larry & Sheila - Thank you for setting the record straight you guys! Take that everyone!

Joan - Angry gorillas, rabid rhinos, petulant pumas. It doesn't matter. Bring 'em on! I'm not afraid!

Gay - I like your style Gay! If I wasn't so under the weather when I posted this one, I would have added a disclaimer... "Any resemblance to your Realtor is purely coincidental" and "No gorillas were harmed in the making of this blog"!!!

Michelle - Thank you Michelle. 100+ percent is what's expected and what we need to deliver.

Robin - Settle down Robin! This is a family blog. (Pssst. Whatcha doing tonight?!!!)

Roger - 200% is probably closer to what's expected these days. thanks for the kudos my friend.

Scott - Funny you should ask Scott. While I would never misrepresent my listings, i do have some fun marketing them. And then when they're sold, I have even more fun. For me, a simple "Sold" sign just doesn't cut it....

SOLD! Another Apex, North Carolina Home Sold by Craig Rutman!

Al & Peggy - I'm always confused! But by your math, if you had 100 listings would you only be giving 1% to each of them? More confused?!!!

Bob - Thank you sir. And thank you for stopping on by today. Come back soon!

Wanda - I always want to be someone's hero. That's what they hired me for.

Craig, it is fun to pop by and see where you have put yourself lately.  This is no "Where's Craig?"  Thanks for the laughs.

Mike - That's pretty funny Mike. I can always count on you for a good quip! Thanks for popping in today my friend.

Vickie - It takes sooooo much more these days. But, it's part of the job and we just have to do it.

Pat & Wayne - Any agent who thinks 75% is the new 100% is just setting themselves up for failure.

Ryan - I like the way you think my friend! If it ain't warped, it's probably boring! Well done!

Jane - Speaking of pickles.... Mount Olive, NC Pickle Drop

Christine - Thank you Christine. I had a little fun making this one.

Claudette - You little link clicker you! Actually, I love all of you guys. I just put that in there to see who's really paying attention!

Larry - I do love what I do. And I have fun doing it. But, there is no monkeying around when it comes to giving it my all for my people.

Ron - I thought about a "Where's Craig" series. It's on my "List-O-Plenty!

Craig, I happen to think that going off the deep end is one of those things you just gotta do on a regular basis!  Love this.
