Real Estate!
Those two little words. People envision being wealthy in this venture. To be able to create a lifestyle that they never possibly could dream of. That is why many people get into this occupation.
I had bought a house in a very nice area of Stanislaus County, but I went through 7 Top Producing Realtors before I found one that I trusted enough to buy from. Why seven? For the most part because of the arrogance that they demonstrated. The customer service from most of them were almost Zero, and I don't need to be told that I am walking into a kitchen. I felt be-littled!, and many of them took the attitude, well I am going to sell three houses this week, and if you are not signing right this second you were not worth my time. I also got upset over the fact that they were always rescheduling or were late, without giving notice.
This motivated me to go and get my Real Estate License, that summer. Signed up for a class in July and took the test in August. After a delay, since my first broker failed to submit my documentation to the DRE, I finally got licensed in October, and hooked up with an excellent firm in February.
My experiences with these Realtors taught me a lot about this business. First, Always be on time!. Second, Give helpful information, but don't state the obvious while people are going through an open house. Third, This is the most important, always treat everyone with the respect and quality of service that they deserve and want. Fourth, Follow up and do what you say you will do. Finally, dress, look and be the part of a consummate professional.
