relationships: Why Isn't Real Estate FUN?
- 11/06/13 03:30 AM
Do you love your work? Do you think real estate is fun? (More importantly, do YOUR CLIENTS think real estate is fun??) My observation is that there is something intriguing about our real estate world that the general public is drawn to (why else would they make so many reality shows about it?) The interest is there and I wonder if we are "living up to the hype" when we work with our Buyers and Sellers. My question is this: Do you think there is a place for FUN in real estate? I'm sure everyone will say something like "sure, ya … (6 comments)

I should have bought a lottery ticket this week. My new listing came on the market last week.

Efficient. Knowledgeable. By the Book. Stamp your time-card and collect your check. These people are superior EMPLOYEES but is that really what "customer service" is all about? A well-trained monkey can do that, but when you go above and beyond you become a SERVANT. Here are some thoughts about what defines … (10 comments)
