A call to restore common courtesy to the practice of real estate - Janice Roosevelt, Keller Williams, PA & DE

Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Brandywine Valley PARS273421 & De Lic.

“Of Courtesy, it is much less
Than Courage of Heart or Holiness,
Yet in my walks it seems to me
That the Grace of God is in Courtesy

Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc (27 July 187016 July 1953) British writer and poet, known for his essays and children's books; he was sometimes referred to by the nickname "Old Thunder".


Among the many skills and qualities  it takes  to help others buy and sell real estate, courtesy is a virtue that takes us far.
This beauitful quote that reminds of the power of  courtes which a close friend defined recently as "wanting the best for someone else in a way."
Perhap you have a story of courtesy in action that you would care to share...a phone call returned promptly, a kindness shown a competing realtor...the extra mile for a buyer or seller.   jroosevelt@kw.com

I have lots of stories of incompetence and common discourtesy. Such a shame.

JaneAnne, you are welcome.

I need to remind myself often, Andrea!

Jim, Hopefully we can let those go, and focus on what we can do! It's why Mother Teresa would not participate in anti-War protests - she would, however, support a movement to support PEACE :)

Janice,  in this business, courtesy in action stands out big time.  There are agents who go out of their way to be pleasant and it makes up for all the ones who make it their business to be rude.  Love the quote.
