Boy Scout Turned Real Estate Agent

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with Windermere Real Estate / NCW

I recently realized that the secrets to success are those ingrained in me at age 12.  The attributes that consumers are looking for in a real estate agent are those I repeated every Tuesday night in the rec room of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Olympia.

Could real estate agents do worse than following the Scout Law? Read this list and tell me if these are values you are looking for in a real estate agent.

A Scout is:

 

Trustworthy

Loyal

Helpful

Friendly

Courteous

Kind

Obedient

Cheerful

Thrifty

Brave

Clean

Reverent

Trustworthy, yes. Loyal, yes. Helpful, yes. .....

Scrolling down the list and...

Obedient? (You mean a good listener, perhaps.)

Praful - Obediant means to obey. An agent should follow the real estate laws of their state, the Realtor Code of Ethics and should follow the directions of their client.  Seems reasonable to me.

 

Michelle - Be Prepared is the Scout motto and that is a perfect lesson for any agent!

I was never a Boy Scout, however, my 12 year old son is.  I am active in his troop, and yes, the scout law, and many other parts of the Boy Scout program help prepare many boys for life!
