Great Things Take Time... What 27 Years In Real Estate Have Taught Me

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

 

Great things do take time... after 27 years in the real estate profession, I know this only too well. Building expertise in my chosen profession has taken time. Every year I'm in this business I acquire more expertise.

 

Building a great business with loyal clients who support it year in and year out with their referrals and repeat business takes time.

 

 

Finding just the right home for my buyer clients can take time... in some cases it's taken years to find that dream home. Being patient is the key and not giving up.

 

 

Marketing my seller clients' homes can take time if one is committed to doing it right. At times we need to reassess our strategy to find the right buyer. The secret is NEVER GIVING UP, being patient, doing what needs doing. Somehow that always leads to great things happening.

 

 

 

"No matter how great the talent, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in just one month by getting nine women pregnant."

... Warren Buffett

 

 

"Great things take time; what is why seeds persevere through rocks and dirt to bloom."

... Matshona Dhliwayo

 

"It takes years to make an overnight success."

... Eddie Cantor

 

Nina Hollander has been opening doors for Charlotte area home buyers and sellers for 20+ years. If you're looking for a real estate broker who is patient and never gives up, I'd love an opportunity to earn your business, to exceed your expectations, and to show you how:

 "The Right Broker Makes All The Difference."

Michael Jacobs thanks, Michael. 27 years seem to have flown by in a wink of the eye, it seems. But what's learned and experienced over all those years is something I appreciate more each day.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 thanks, Sheila... I see so many agents always looking for that proverbial silver bullet to turn them into superstars in a year or two. Sadly, life just doesn't work that way. And no matter how well you do, at the end of the day you can't compress decades of experience into just a few years.

So true, Nina. It does take many years and transactions to really hone this craft. I love your comment in 18 - too many newbies out there claiming to be hotshots because they've got business.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD Hi Debb... I learned a long time ago not to worry about those hotshot newbies. With the average agent in our industry having less than four years experience, it tells you most agents just don't last in this business.

Nina this business has a lot in common with fine wine.  Both take time.

George Souto good morning, George... now I wish I had thought of that analogy. Maybe because I don't drink wine anymore I totally forgot.

James Dray good morning, James... one thing we should never do in this business is think to ourselves "now I've seen everything." The minute you do, you just know something new will come an bite you in the fanny! :)

Joan Cox hi Joan... it's always interesting to me to watch agents with little experience try to navigate changes in the market. So many don't understand that the process can't be rushed.
