In connecting people in life and determining how we want to communicate with them we become either a BRIDGE BUILDER or a WALL BUILDER. All you have to do is look around and see how YOU are treated by some or how others treat their fellow man.
In our dealings with real estate clients as a minimum I would hope you are a bridge builder with them and all associated parties. Clear communication, suspending judgment, overlooking quirky personalities, being accomodating and above all OPEN. The wall builder divides, pushes people away, is not sensitive to feelings, often has an intolerant, my way or the highway air about them. A bridge builder seeks win-win for EVERYONE.
A person's legacy often depends if you are a bridge builder. Jimmy Stewart and even Will Rogers come to mind, the latter saying he never met a man he didn't like. Do we all have breaking points or tipping points where we have to depart from people? Sure.
But let it NOT BE YOU not trying to build bridges.
If you cut the cord with someone, let it be THEM giving you the scissors. You all along are a bridge builder.
