I listen for a living because it's all about you. This has always been my professional mantra for good reason. People want to be heard. They have their story and when they hire a professional for any reason they want that professional to know the whole story. It is never about the professionals degree, or awards at that moment, it is always about how well they listen to the story. Once you know the story then you, as the professional can interpret and plan the best course of action for the speedy resolution of the needs and wants.
I am a Realtor® and because of this I am held to a higher standard. I have a code of ethics I must adhere to or I will loose that coveted and professional designation. Not all agents are created equal, just like back in high school. Everyone is different. Everyone will respond in thier own personal way and therefore there is room for lots of professionals. Personally I don't work with everyone. I don't work with certain types of homes. I work on homes I know I can get a deal done for the most amount of money in the quickest period of time. Because of this my statistics year over year are impressive, but even impressive statistics mean nothing to your prospect or client unless you are listening to them.
They know what they want, when they want it and what they want to do afterwards. A professional of any quality can't serve these needs unless and until they fully understand the story. Storyteller Marketing has been my focus since I first loaded Fortune 100 corporate video testimonial stories onto the web back in 2001. The ability to take the story of a home, it's neighborhood and community is a skill I have been honing since that point. Your story is what drives my world. Caring about the individuals I help each and every day is what fuels me on a professional, personal and emotional level. If you would like to share your story, I am always ready to listen. As a professional Realtor® who was named to the Top20Boston Realtors®in April of 2013 I am proud of this level of service. I am even more satisfied that I listened to the stories I was being told and got my clients exactly what they wanted at a price and timing they loved. I listen for a living because it is all about you.
