On the cover of the September/October 2008 Issue of The Residential Specialist is Janet Lopez with Taylormade Properties, Inc. in the Tampa area. Congrats to Janet!

Within this issue, there is an article entitled "wonder y". Kathryn Rudziensky discusses how Certified Residential Specialists (CRS) are learning to service the needs of Generation Y buyers.

I was lucky enough to be interviewed for this article. Thanks to Kathryn, I used the opportunity to share my experiences and strategies for working with my Generation Y clients.

One piece of advice that was shared in the article is related to the importance of schedule flexibility.

At times, we have all had to work outside "the standard 9-6 business hours. Some Generation Y buyers don't have as much flexibility in their work schedules as older buyers. Making yourself available during their availability is crucial to building a successful relationship with these buyers."

In subsequent posts, I will share some other advice for working with Generation Y clients that did NOT appear in the article. Hopefully, some of my words will be helpful in improving your real estate business.

If you desire, I would be more than happy to send you a copy of the article.

Thanks again to the publishers of The Residential Specialist, Kathryn Rudziensky and my clients that have entrusted their real estate buying experience to me. Words cannot express my gratitude!
