These Days, Giving 100% Just Isn't Enough - Part II

So, with that being said, I decided to revisit the "Realtor Daily" once again to stress my point.

Craig,

You look like James BOND. Giving a 110% is a given to get clients needs met!

It's not easy, but you are certainly well able to take care of Real Estate in Raleigh / Cary / Apex, NC! ....and even better, they'll laugh and enjoy themselves along the way.

All the best, Michelle

When it's a good fit for your clients you just have to get there first. There are those days on the highway when I would love to have that car, Craig!

Mr Rutman, Other agents have to go faster if they want to beat the best Realtor in Raleigh/Cary/Apex...Who is that is the back seat?

Laura - And, hopefully that's what my competition here in the Raleigh/ Cary/ Apex area is thinking too!!!

Tatyana - Oh, that guy? Yeah, people often confuse us. I just sign their autograph books and let them take a photo. It makes them feel good!

Michelle - I just picked up a ne wbuyer the other day because he said he liked the fact that I know my stuff but that I know how to have some fun while doing the job! Nothing wrong with enjoying our chosen profession and making people smile along the way.

Mary - When I lived in NY, I would have loved to have a car like this!

Michael - Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm not worried!

Kristine - Just look at her. Even with what's going on, she just keeps smiling! She knows she's in good hands!

Craig, this might just be a great strategy. I once knew an agent who was such a horrible driver that people would make offers so they wouldn't have to get back into her car.
