Responsibility and accountability are taught at a very young age. Align with those who uphold a higher standard. Besides, a client who trusts you today, will refer family members and friends well into the future. At times, during a transaction, obstacles present or mistakes happen. Here are some ways to work through adversity: If you're wrong, make it right Correct an error immediately Apologize to everyone involved Be determined to find a viable solution When at fault, own it, no pointing fingers We are all human and because of that factor, are fallible.

Some people wish to blame a lack of commitment or accountability in building their own wealth on anything/everything. "Responsibility finds a way. Irresponsibility makes excuses!" ~ Gene Bedley
Why some consumers fail to purchase real estate: Irresponsible spenders, compulsive shoppers and must haver's. They apply for credit cards, max them out, then call family members or friends to bail them out to pay their car payment or lease amount. Those who have poor credit ratings are chronically late when paying their bill's. They let them go a week or two then split them up, paying half now and (20 comments)
Playing the Blame Game takes the personal and professional responsibility away from outcomes. Being overly self-absorbed can often be defeating and disappointing and may also cause a complacent or negative attitude.

I am, because of the level of commitment made to succeed. Will I fail? There is always the possibility but will not be pointing fingers outward, instead, there may be need to (12 comments)
Check, then re-check paperwork again to ensure all documents have been signed, dated and acknowledged in an ongoing transaction. Here is a scenario to avoid at all costs:
The mortgage office sent out documents to be reviewed, signed off and returned. The buyers did just that or so they thought. Apparently one electronic signature was missing. By the time it was caught, the three day wait period had to be re-established, again, further frustrating the buyers.
They would not be closing on time, again. The buyers had specifically taken off to sign all closing documents and now they had to adjust (15 comments)
Want consumer's to think you're a top agent in your selling area?
Create a team, then add your name to all the listings that the team produces and to all buyer documents. When the transactions close and record, your name will show up as a part of the process, every time!
The downside to this can show itself as well. If your name is on a transaction and it goes south due to the team member's fault, you may be liable and must take responsibility for the outcome as well.
Before sending out a reply recently on a post about champagne, I remarked Salut! At second glance, it was missing the 'a' and I quickly added it before sending it off. Can you imagine what the receiver would have thought had I not caught that?!
Yikes!
Social media is a fantastic platform to quickly get a message relayed, to continue a conversation or spark a response. Ensure the comment you wish to send is intended, rather than something that can create a questionable atmosphere of distrust or outright shock.
