We all schedule and set up appointments for the numerous tasks a busy Realtor® manages daily. We put our important dates in first, many written in stone...family and personal functions, settlements, vacations, well maybe not right now. Then everything else fits around your "big rocks." It is not necessary to let the world know what is going on in your life.
Do we really NEED to know why you are not available?
Some time ago these recent examples were given by real estate professionals.

The public does not need to know why you are too busy.
We schedule and set up appointments for the numerous tasks busy Realtors® manage daily. We put our important dates in first, many written in stone, family, personal and settlements. Then everything else fits around your "big rocks." It is not necessary to let the world know your schedule. WHY you are not available is NOT their concern.
When someone "needs" an immediate appointment, it may not be possible. Many times we can make it work. Sometimes it is not possible. No matter what is on your calendar, there is a professional … (9 comments)

But there is no shortage of time explaining just why they are so busy. A few examples heard lately: Just tired from appointments, … (11 comments)

When I first started in real estate some 25 years ago, I asked everyone if they were thinking of selling their home now or in the near future. This technique was from Floyd Wickman.
Business now is from past clients, blogging and my live radio show. If you have been in real estate for more than a few years... repeat and referrals should be a source for new clients. If not, it may be time to evaluate what you are doing.
My weekly radio show ALL ABOUT REAL ESTATE , has been a wonderful way to keep my pipeline full.
Calls come in live during the Sunday show but it is afterward that I get the bulk … (4 comments)
