Surround yourself w/great people and you look great!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty-Fayetteville

I am very lucky person...and I know it!  Today was just another reminder of how when you surround yourself with good people, good things will happen.

My morning started off when I had to make a call that I wasn't really looking forward to.  A co-worker listened to me and all my reasons to not call and then told me "go make the call, you'll be glad you did".  Of course, she was right! (

A little later a good friend called and asked me for a recommendation for a great property manager here in Fayetteville, NC.  You know it, I happen to have one of those!  They have already signed their property management agreement and my friend is already happy!

At lunch I met with the professional photographer who did our client appreciation party on Saturday.  He put all the photos on a CD so we would be able to send the photos to our clients.  He did a great job (as usual).  Of course, we will look awesome when we give the photos to our clients.

Then late this evening I get a phone call from one of my contractors.  He does work at my home and even my closest friends homes.  He recently did a job for a client after I recommended she speak with him.  I went over to view the work once it was complete (like new home now) and somehow we got on the subject of decorating.  I happened to mention something I have been looking for and tonite, he called to say he found it and was bringing it to me as a Christmas and thank you gift. 

Its the small things that make all the difference and today I was lucky enough to be reminded that in Fayetteville, NC I do indeed do business with great people who make me look great because of the awesome work they do!  How luck am I....very lucky!

Shawna, it certainly makes everything better when you work with good people. We were reminded of this during our office holiday party last week when we got to spend time with so many people who have helped us over the years.

I feel the same way - I'm regularly referring other people to clients and friends of mine and every once in a great while I get a wonderful reminder of that reach I have into other people's lives. Such as when a person who I have yet to do business with tells me she uses my resource page of my website religiously for referral partners such as accountants, attorneys, contractors, etc.

Right now I have a client in MD who has to sell a house in WA and I'm referring a contractor to her, and before that I referred a carpet cleaner, painter, house cleaner, window cleaner, etc.  She loves how the house is looking as it is prepared for sale.  We're able to get much more done for her locally than she's been able to do over 2.5 years over long distance.  Too bad she didn't get our referral earlier - speaking of which, this client came from a very happy client of mine who was at her house doing a gas service job when he learned that she was going to be selling the property.  It all comes around full circle!!!!

If one has a right attitude, the day is great - start on the right foot, or as you said Shawna, surround yourself with great people to look great.
