A Faithful Friend In Business Is Like Finding A Precious Gem

Gary, that is what you call a sphere of influence.  It's people you can trust!

I sold a house to a young couple from New Jersey and they have become our very good friends.  They are such nice people.  It is great to find friends in our business!

Gary, it is all about the relationship and having someone who shares the same philosophical approach to taking care of the best interest of our clients. They would gems indeed

I agree having people you can count on and trust are paramount to this business.  I have been lucky and found great relationships with a great handy man that returns calls and gets jobs done fast and reasonable.  Title and lenders  too that have been keys to success.

Gary - It is so true about having great people, who are friends within the business.  I continue to have relationships with agents that shared an ole Century 21 office with me, when I first got in the business.  That was over 27 years ago.  They are more like family, than friends!

Gary:  I hate it when the schools are not accurate.  And I carry a laser tape measure with me.  I round the room sizes down so as to not disappoint prospective buyers.  Rather them be pleasantly surprised.

Gary...

It's always good to go the extra mile to make certain those items that a client states are important to them!

This is a great reminder to BE the faithful friend to other Realtors as well as to your clients.  What a wonderful thing for people to think of about you.

Have a great weekend.

Gary, Faithful friends, the ones you can REALLY count on are priceless.  I think in any profession you see some people who don't know the meaning of loyalty, I just always hope it doesn't reflect poorly on the others who are trying so hard to be helpful--and faithful!

Love, love, love this photo Gary!!  Faithfullness is truly worth its weight in GOLD! The landscaper, painter and carpet vendor on my team are so Faithful and loyal-true professionals in every sense.  They are so instrumental to the success of my projects.  We all care about each other and work together as a family for the clients and Realtors. 

Good post. I have seen listings where the wrong school district is mentioned . Though the mls says subject to errors and omissions , the buyers may not be aware of school districts .

Hi Gary:

You are so right in your statement that this is what it "sorely lacking" in business today.

And all your hard work is worth it, when at the end you get that "thank you hug and kiss".

I have a short-list of action agents whom I call when I need help, and they are always there for me, ready to take care of my clients in an expedient and friendly manner. Those people are my faithful friends.

It is so important to give out right information on your listings.  Sadly, when I have a prospect setup on the Gateway, I often will warn that agents put the wrong schools so I will broaden my area some and tell them we need to verify this information - I call it Garbage in, garbage out (sounds like a good post!)  Great photo.

Gary,

MLS as a database "requires" accurate information, but it really relies on its users to be honest and dilligent. Quite frequesntly, however, the info is not exactly accurate.  When working with buyers, I always verify most important data just to protect my buyer's interest.

Gary,

Wonderful post and as always you make a poignant point. Thanks for your messages!

Gary,

Love the picture you chose.  It had me from the get go.  The dog is a sheltland sheepdog or sheltie for short.  I had a precious little one named Lady.  So your point of gems of those friends and business relationships that are reliable and faithful in what they do came across with double impact!  I think it is important that we remember to tell those "gems" how much we value them.  And by the way, you are such a gem...So Thank you...

Hey Gary, I love that picture of the boy with a dog...how cute!!

I love the picture you used to expressive in your blog

Have a great and Happy St. Patty Day. may it bring success with lucky clover
