Sometimes having a blog can be a temptation to find things to complain about. You know what I mean....you get bad service at your local restaurant, from tech support or at the post office and now you have a platform to air your gripes. After seeing numerous negative posts here about our competition, I'd like to take a moment to thank them:
"In the real estate business, my competitors are as valuable as my friends. My friends are too polite to point out my weaknesses, but my competitors are attentive, direct, and are eager to take my place if I don't do my job. They keep me working hard and on my toes. They inspire me to find new ways to improve my services. If I had no competitors, I would be less professional and efficient. I am better for the discipline they command of me. I respect and salute them. They have been good for me." - Author Unknown
A very special thanks this holiday season to the following real estate agents in Connecticut:
Ann Carpenter - Heritage Properties - Niantic, CT - Ann is a favorite of the team as she is always a pleasure to co-broke with!
Randy Conradi - Prudential - Mystic, CT - Randy sold 2 of my hardest to sell listings this year and although we had a few bumps along the way, he remained a true professional throughout the transactions.
Jason and Carrie Pope - Heritage Properties - Niantic, CT - Jason and Carrie sold one of my listings. After the contract was negotiated and signed, I discovered I made an error on the commission listed in the MLS. I emailed them explaining what happened and they graciously agreed to take less than listed, (even though I told them that I would understand if they didn't). I won't ever forget their generosity and professionalism.
Cheers to you Ann, Randy, Jason, Carrie and all my fellow real estate professionals (and competitors) in Eastern Connecticut. May we all have a prosperous 2007!!
