People who don't know me well often comment on what a quiet person I am, which is funny to me because I usually feel like I talk too much.  But it made me stop and think, I guess in new situations I am fairly quiet.  Not because I'm shy or afraid, but because I like to observe the people and situations around me. 

This is one thing that has made me such an effective consultant in real estate.  When I'm with a client, I don't do a lot of talking at first.  I listen to what they have to say.  If we're doing a walk-through, I watch reactions, gestures, and listen to comments very intently.  Many times I KNOW what my client wants before she REALLY knows.  Not because I'm a mind reader, but because I'm an observer.

This is what a good agent does, and I want to be the best I can be for my client.  It helps prevent both my client and me from wasting a lot of unecessary time.  For some, making a decision is very difficult, so part of my job is to help my client make a desicion.

"Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days ... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it." ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
