Perhaps you don't think what happened to me these past few days to be a success story; but I certainly do. Today was a great day because I was applauded by my peers at my weekly office meeting. No big deal, you say? Well, I say it was. You see, as a new agent, I have attended practically every office meeting so I can learn the business and keep track of the real estate trends in my area. Almost every week, someone has something successful to share with the office. Inwardly, I envy their success and hope that one day I will have a success story as well.
Let me start from the beginning. Last Sunday, I hosted an Open House and I met a very nice couple. They have family living in the neighborhood and seem very interested in the house. During their time there, I developed a rapport with them and I had mentioned to them that I was interested in purchasing a wooden stove for my own house. The husband, then suggested that I visit his sister's house after I am finished with my Open House since she happens to have one in her home. I was debating whether or not I should accept their invitation as I did not want to intrude. On the other hand, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to connect with this couple a little bit more and she lives down the street, so I went. I was introduced to his family, looked at the stove, thanked them for allowing me into their home and left.
On Tuesday afternoon, the couple came into our office and had a long meeting with our Gold Star Manager. They were introduced to the various services that we could provide for them should they decide to work with us. After their meeting, we considered putting an offer on the home by the end of the week. I felt pretty good and hopeful about it.
Then, today, during the office meeting, my Gold Star Manager mentioned the couple I was working with and told everyone at the office meeting that the reason the couple had chosen to work with us because I went to his sister's house after my Open House. That I went the extra mile! I was pleasantly surprised as I did not think that it was a big deal. But it was enough to impress them; and now, I am very glad I did.
At this point, irregardless of whether this will lead to anything, I am just happy to be recognized as a success story. It would make me very happy if I can help this couple buy their dream home for it'll be my first sale in real estate! Hopefully, I will have many more success stories to tell. Afterall, this is a new career for me with so many things to learn. I look forward to every step I will take in this business as long as I take every good and bad experience with a positive attitude.......
Do you have a First Success Story? Please share.
Success to All!
