How far is your reach?

How far is your reach? The way you impact one person reaches further than you think. The ability to serve your client well will send reverberations beyond your expectations. Nothing sounds better to a real estate agent than to hear a client say, “I told my friends about how great a job you did for me.”

It is a great reminder that life is made up of all the little things. The kinds words, the exceptional service, the extra dose of patience exercised.

As the drought has intensified here in PA, I was reminded of this truth. My neighbor has a thorny locust tree and it sends out all these sprouts into my yard. When I am not mowing my lawn regularly it becomes much more apparent.

How far is your reach? It goes further than you realize.

Good afternoon Cal. Nothing compares to the feeling you get when a previous client has told someone how much they enjoyed working with you. Sometimes it takes a while but the circle of life works at it's own pace.

I had a recent client that along with other things gave me this note. BTW, it was a $35K sale.

You are so right Randy! I love that feeling and when it does finally come around with more business, then it makes it all worth it.

Winston, what a great note to have and to place on your literature. These notes are great and so good to see how well you take care of your clients. Have a great weekend.

A good portion of my business is from referrals as you have described.

Roger, it is indeed music to the ears. I would like to hear it more than I have been, but it is still great when it does occur. One of my acquaintenances listed with another agent and was not having much success. When one of my clients told me he told her, "You should have used Cal!" Now that was music to my ears.

Kathy, that is great to hear and I look forward to having it happen even more in the future.

Cal: Great reminder that our reach can go way beyond what our small little world holds on a daily basis. And we can dictate whether that reach is thorny like that neighbor's tree ... or more fruitful. A message we all can gain from ...

Good question, Cal. It is sometimes easy to confuse reach with exposure.

Have an outstanding week with your camera in hand.
