So, I was in a real estate manager’s seminar recently. And other than being somewhat bored there was something the trainer said that made me almost fall out of my chair and have convulsions.
She said, “this business is about food, fun, and friends, and if you don’t have those three things agents will hate you.”
Whoa.
Now, don’t get me wrong, having fun is great, and if I make a few friends along the way, all the better - and god knows I can eat, BUT, I have always thought about my job being something very different.
From moment one, I have dedicated myself to one thing - helping coach my agents to be great at what they do and help them maximize their professional potential. From specific strategies on innovative methods to helping them create new ways to communicate to their clients in a challenging market.
Social chair? Yeah, not so much.
Here, at my office, I consider us the big time. I am in a power city where major property is marketed and sold every day. And because of the dedication from the agents here, we have continued to outperform the market every month since last July!
This is a serious business. The time for Aunt Bee’s Basement Brokerage is over! This is the show, and if you don’t understand that you’re dead.
So as this woman continued to drivel over 10 year old anecdotes about the way things were, I started to think about the way things are - knowing she had no idea, and neither did 80% of the people in the room.
Then I realized...that’s fine. That’s why their agents are coming here.
And maybe, along the way, I’ll buy some pizza too.
