365 days & Real Estate

As we are into Mid Jan already-I have been reflecting on my Real Estate yr. and ups/downs of it.

10 Bullet items that I found important:

  • don't give up no matter what the problem is / case in point, I was ready to throw the towel in with a buyer client, after mutiple viewings of homes,but I stuck it out, and the the next home we put the offer in and eureka! just closed it last week.
  • always put your Clients  well being/ wallet b4  your own- I have always had this philosophy and its worked! Zig Ziglar"just help enough people get what they want and u will get what u want"
  • Exercise is important to keep the mind clear of cobwebs and juggle all that is needed in the profession
  • Be willing  go the "extra mile" sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't, but,either way, people will appreciate the effort
  • quick response is a neccesity
  • organization is key
  • always keep an open mind to try new things
  • pause at times to evaluate what your are doing in the biz to see if it works(I'm guilty of this big time) as opposed to keep trudging along without assessment
  • Past Client contact/interaction is vital

& Realize that u never know where your next tranaction may derive from!

 

GOOD LUCK TO ALL FELLOW REALTORS IN 2015!

Kevin, I always try and remember to never give up. Putting my clients well being ahead of my wallet has been my approach for the past 12 years. Take care of them first, and the payment is second.

I don't know about not giving up.  Sometimes there are buyer clients that will eventually buy, but is the time worth it?

When I meet a professional, it stands out...They are the ones that do all the work before they meet someone or go someplace and remain the solution wherever they go....

These are all excellent points. Execising for me is one of the most important things I can do every day to relive stress and get my mind focused on the day.

Those ten points cover quite a bit of ground in so few words. I'm going to adopt a few of those into my everyday thinking. Thanks Kevin Green

Now is the optimal time to get organized.  Before multiple transactions start piling onto each other.

Think it embarasses my child sometimes because I talk to people all the time. Perfect example is shopping at Sams. Have gotten about 5 sales leads just saying Hi. Put your systems in place for follow-up.
