Square Pegs and Round Holes - Or is it Oil and Water?
Do you fit with your buyer or seller client? Yes? No? How do you know? What do you think they would say?
Are you a square peg in a round hole? Or are you and your client oil and water?
Most of us probably fit pretty well with our clients, most of the time. But sometimes it's the "square peg, round hole" deal. So whose fault is it?
While we all like to think we get along with most, if not all, folks, the reality is that we probably don't. The same is true with buyer and seller clients. Each person we meet has their own style, temperament, and way of looking at things and solving problems...just as each of us does.
So what happens when the fit is not right? Do you walk away?  Maybe. More likely, the potential client makes the decision to hire a different agent. The fit, perhaps, was just not right, although there might be other reasons, too.
So who is in charge of fitting? Should we expect the client to respond to us in the way we want?  To see things from our perspective? To want the information we want them to have? Dare I say NO? You bet.
Many ... more
