Favorite Clients Defined

Each Sunday morning, Jasen Edwards sends out an email along with a video.

And this was another thought-provoking Sunday morning read.

This week he was asking his coaching students to describe favorite clients along with a worksheet, which I skipped.

 

my favorite 

 

 

Thinking back, my favorite clients have not been easy peasy.  They were not the ones that bought and sold immediately. But they were usually exciting and fun to be around. 

 

My favorite and memorable clients ...

  They’ve been the ones with challenging needs. They took extremely more time to find a home or to sell their property.  There are a few buyers who have searched for a couple of years, yes years to find the right home.  And there have been sellers that have taken that long to find the right buyer. Thank goodness, not too many.

 

But the entire time, I felt their appreciation, their respect for my time, and their assurance that I was truly working in their best interest.

My buyers and sellers are the best

 

Instead of describing that perfect client, I made an exclusive list of favorite clients over the years...many who are now friends. Too many to choose just one or two. When you hear me describing properties and buyers, they are the folks I'm talking about being my favorites.

  I’m going to be reaching out, calling them, and sharing how and why they are my favorites. For those reading or listening to my radio show, don't be surprised if I call you.

 

Once again, Jasen, Thanks for your inspiration! 

 

Make it an excellent December!

Good evening Margaret Rome, Baltimore Maryland - I am glad you clarified challenging. Not the clients but the work.  I am sure it was enjoyable and added to your experience.

Grant Schneider IF the clients had been challenging or toxic they would not have lasted too long. Challenging situations and properties etc...now that's what I enjoy.

Hi Margaret,
It's so true. It's nice to have those easy ones but it isn't necessarily the easy ones who are the most fun or rewarding.

I've definitely had my favorites over the years.  And, some of those folks I am still friends with to this day.  That includes, one 21 year old superkid, who bought a duplex from me in 1981, and went on to move up, and ultimately, buy a lot which he built a million+ dollar home on.  It's hard to believe but he is a grandfather now!

Myrl Jeffcoat That 21-year-old, now grandfather, probably has friends and family that you have also helped over the past years.  Love these long term, client-turned friends, relationships!

Your thoughts mirror mine. Many of our favorites are now good friends. Funny how that works. And agree, they weren't the easiest to work with...

Hi Margaret:

Some of the best experiences - learning and otherwise - can come from some of the more challenging, and perhaps time consuming, buying and selling situations. And even better are the repeat clients!!

Jeff Dowler, CRS The challenging home situations are the best experiences for learning. And to get a repeat of one of those homes is like hitting a home run!
