How much love do you have?

My dad taught me that when you are someone's true friend, you are truly blessed and that is not something that you should take for granted.  A true friend is someone you would:

1.  Never Hurt
2.  Always be honest with
3.  Be available for
4.  Watch out for
5.  Take time with
6.  Not try to sell a "lemon" to

I think these simple principles apply to Real Estate Re-sale.  If we are creatures that acknowledge a higher-power or not, it does not matter.  We need to admit that we can learn from our mistakes.  Taking in mind that we sometimes forget the mistakes of the past.  If we pay strict attention, we can prevent making those same mistakes that caused us so much pain.  As far as having a ceiling on the amount of friendships and love we can cultivate...  I think that bar is where you choose to set it.  I want my funeral to be overflowing, not a funeral with a few crickets chirping!!!

If you are trying to deal in things in a quantity and not quality approach, you are doing yourself and your clients a real disservice.  But if you are intent in making life-long friends out of those that place their trust in you, when you speak with them, you won't be all about selling a home.  You will adhere to their needs and obtain their entire sphere of influence as a benefit.

We are learning capable.  We adjust on a moment by moment basis by being receptive to that small voice inside of ourselves.  If you are too busy or have become too clouded by the amounts that are being made.  It is time to reflect on what was your drive in your youth.  For those things that drove us molded us to have become the reflection we see staring back at us in the mirror.

What is looking back at you?

Without the relationships, many of us would have no business.  I still say we are not "salespeople"....I don't push a product.  I demonstrate superior customer service and product knowledge.

Excelelnt Connor. It's all about the relationships we form and how we treat people. Everything else is just "techniques" that produce minimal success and happiness. Thanks for the post.

Good post Connor. 

There was another blog where the woman who said she doesn't do any of the things experts say we must do.  She is just very good with building relationships with people.

You are a natural for Rotary, Connor. We have something called the 4-Way Test. Is it the truth, is it beneficial to all concerned, is it fair, and will it bring goodwill and friendship? I am sorry I didn't get back to you earlier about being my guest at a meeting, but please callme anytime to find out more. We meet every Wednesday at noon.
