Talking to Everyone Is Good Business!
TALK TO ME! Or, we can talk to you.
Being open to initiate or participate in a conversation for "folks" we meet anywhere, anytime is simply FUNDAMENTAL for real estate agents and brokers.
Something I've noticed over the years is that, simply walking around in the grocery store, library, almost any place, if you're ready with a smile, so are many others.

Talking to Everyone Is Good Business
Sometimes in this business talking to everyone really makes good business sense, even if it means evesdropping a little! Home Depot is a great place to do this as a realtor! Today while getting priceing for doing carpet and tile work done at a property we are helping a client renovate, I overheard a couple talking about renovating a home they are about to put on the market.
After giving them some advice and asking about what they planned to do to their home and explaining my background at renovating, staging and selling properties, they loved the idea of getting my opinion on their home. Showing some fresh ideas built interest and I'm going to go to their house on Monday! They brought up the possibility of listing and buying through our team, and it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't spoken up. Indeed, talking to everyone and doing a little eavesdropping is good for business. Making sure you always have a business card, and that you can seek to provide value before asking for business is imperative! Home Depot is a great place to be as a realtor!
If you are in a service industry, you have to show what kind of service you can give, and since people who are good at sales and negotiation are some of the attributes sellers look for in an agent, what shows it better than showing you are bold, and think well on the fly?
