I don't want to coerce my customer, I want them to make an educated decision.

I don't want to coerce my customer, I want them to make an educated decision.

I don't want to do a "take away," I don't to use conventional tactics to make a sale...I just want my customer to fell comfortable in the transaction.

I want my customers to do what they feel is best for them. I don't use the conventional sales tactics, which is probably why, I don't like to go to sales classes.

I'm not pushy, my customers end up as my friends...90% of the time...10% of the time, they are 20 years younger than me, and well, they are the same ages as my children.

YES, some of the best of the best, agents who make mega bucks, are pushy and lie, and are deceitful...and still make money...well, not me.

I'm an honest hard working agent, who does not want to cheat, steal, lie, be deceitful...just a person who loves to sell real estate. I just want to help people.

Best of the best??? that line went out with the rest of the agents who are no longer here. Those that are still working full time, love what we do...hear me??? We LOVE what we do...we are here to help our customers. And we're hanging in there.

I don't want to use books, to use lines for sales, to lie to people. I want to help people who want to buy a home or a condo in South Florida.

Call me if you need an honest and caring agent. I work in real estate because I love it.

It is absolutely the best feeling going to work every day knowing that our passion is in our relationships and beliefs. I love my career and I too am not going anywhere either! Honesty and Integrity builds the relationships for life.

Valerie,

You know it...I wish everyone felt the same as we do...Have a great day tomorrow!

Karen, I am with you. My goa is to give clients all the information that they need to make an educated decision. It really is that simple. Once clients feel like you are giving them all the information and providing excellent counsel based on their needs, they will refer others by the droves.

Very well said Karen. I am seeing some of these"pushy" agents floundering in this market. I would like to see them go away as well. I think they give us honest Realtors a bad name.

I truly believe that one of the greatest services all Realtors can provide the general public is educating them honestly and fairly.

I am with you, I would fire any agent or sales person who tried to push me into a sale, particularly one that big....so I let people take their time, and make a good decision...

Regardless what industry we are in it's important to be ourselves when we are working with potential clients and attempting to build relationships. Everyone has the market data and their basic presentation but what separates us from everyone else is the person we are. Our honesty, integrity, and professionalism should surface when we meet with people.

Certainly, there are people who are looking for something else; perhaps an agent who will list their home at the price they want and not the one that is realistic. We can't do much about that and they can always find someone who will take the listing regardless.

Karen - I understand. I'm not pushy, and I don't lie. I'm not a "salesman", either. I'm honest and have integrity and work hard...and love it! :)

Honesty is always the best policy. I know there are still deceitful agents (and successful at that) out there, but I just can't justify making a living that way. I still have to look myself in the mirror each day.

Hi Karen, I too love what I do. Housing is such a basic need. I became a Realtor 24 (yes 24) years ago because I love the land & I love helping people make good decisions! It's all about improving someones condition in an up move, a down or a lateral move. It all comes down to Do unto others...

I also try to make my clients into friends by first not being pushy. If they are comfortable with their decision then they will be happy with me.

Keisha, Exactly.

Carol, Right...you have the right attitude.

Kathy F., Honesty is everything, in my humble opinion.

Konnie, Pushy doesn't work for me. Thanks for commenting.

Debi, Me too!

Jim, Yes we all do, it just seems to matter more to some than others.

Jon,

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you for your comments. Karen

Marian,

Yes....do unto others! You are so right about that...to many people don't understand that philosophy. Thank you for your comments.

David,

What you state here is so true! Thank you for posting on my blog!
