You said you wanted to do the right thing!

Real Estate Broker/Owner with Pareto Realty TN #251071

Did you mean it?

I clearly remember you saying that you would do whatever was necessary to “make things right.”

After all, you ARE a “good person” . . . “of your word,” Right?

A person of integrity . . .

and you’ve changed your mind?

Why?

What changed?

When it came time to do the “right thing” you pledged to do, you turned on a dime.

AWKWARD!

Now! As your representative, I’ve made a commitment based on your promise . . . now what?

This makes us both “Liars” . . .

This scenario plays out WAY too frequently in business.

I don’t believe that it always happens intentionally.

After all – In the heat of the battle (negotiation), sometimes we all can get carried away and loose with our promises “Just to get the deal signed.”

That’s a dangerous game because karma is real.

Just sayin’

Be careful with your integrity

It’s VERY fragile

Slow to build and fast to destroy

Pay attention, and DO the right things you promise!

Be Nice!

Excellent advise to operate our business by.  I might be naive, I just assume everyone keeps their word.  But, I know that isn't true.

The best Retired Brokers !!!!

We've been brokers for 30 plus years and I can only tell you that few mean what they say... my Father was very stern about teaching us to keep our word... He said when you give it keep it and both my sister and I learned that lesson very well...

Like you mind set...
