In growing our professional business network outward in our career look for THIS specific trait in your colleagues:
SHARING.
The art of cooperation amongst various parties goes a long way to getting deals done smoothly. Sharing ideas, time, dividing tasks to save energy, promoting helpful tips and short cuts. All good.
Nothing worse than obstructionist partners.
Often as a listing agent you may be STUCK with who comes along on the buyers side. But initiate cooperation on your part and most likely you will not be immediately seen as an adversary.
Too often agents even in their OWN office view you as the competition but the pie really is big enough or the feeding tray wide enough for everyone to have his fill.
Be a proactive share person of news, ideas, helpfulness and set a standard of friendliness and integrity with all you come in contact with. If others want to see you as competition, well that is their view. You be the one sprinkling "sharing" as the most smooth way to make your way to the closing table.
