Fare Thee Well

Funny how over the last few days Titus & Philemon only found Brownsie annoying but when the reality of separation became real to them then they speak FAIRLY well of him.

Isn't that human nature? We may experience these feelings due to a relational break-up (dating/divorce), separating from the black sheep of the family, a toxic friend, or even a business client that was somewhat of a pain in the ass.

In Titus & Philemon's case we are not

 talking about relationships that  

make us cry when they end.

When it comes to Real Estate clients some become life long friends and with others we might mutter under our breath, don't let the door hit you on the butt on your way out.

I hope that all your transactions end happy and that you keep in touch with the ones you truly befriended.

Hi Kat Palmiotti . There are very few past clients I keep in touch with outside of the Builders and Contractors I serviced. That is one of those things with a military community, they move so often they don't forge strong ties.

Hi Bob- it's interesting about people and the chemistry between them. I consider myself pretty friendly but there have been people I've met and while we had a friendly interaction, there was no connection whatsoever.

Bob I've enjoyed being friends with so many clients and do to this day.  In fact we met  with several today and it was delightful.  And I helped another one out earlier today.  And yes, there's been a few when it's just business but that's fine too.

Good morning, Bob... I've long said that one of the best parts of the real estate profession is that we can pick and choose our clients. And I'm very picky. As a result, when I'm done with a transaction 99% of my clients I'm happy to stay in touch with.

It's good to know that they are parting on good terms and they understand that we have to take the good with the bad, nobody is perfect, haha.

Good morning Bob. Unlike Mark Twain, in truth, I have met people I did not like! And that's the way it is! Enjoy your day.

I know that feeling Kathy Streib and then swinging the other way I meet a fellow last week that I thought he and his wife would be fast friends with Carol and I... he has not returned my call for a get together... so disappointing.

Anna Banana Kruchten Phoenix Broker I love it when clients become friends but I admit they were few and far in between for me with the exception of my Developers and Contractors.

That is really cool Nina Hollander, Broker . Most of the folks I sold homes to were walk-ins to my model homes so I could not be very picky as to who I worked with.

Come on Brian England , aren't our wives perfect 😉? You are correct, nobody is perfect and when I look in the mirror I understand that line in Amazing Grace, "A Wretch Like Me".

Amen brother Wayne Martin . I have met a few that were downright scary and I was happy to say "see you.... never".

it is certainly a mixed bag.. clients are just a representation of the population at large, some great, some not so great, and a few I am happy to not deal with again lol
