- 05/19/10 05:59 AM
Have you ever wondered what sets some realtors apart from the rest? What makes them the "one" that clients gravitate to? What are you doing every day, day in/day out to improve yourself and your business. Did that person have better timing, marketing strategies, support, etc. What are the secrets to your success? If you consider yourself happy and successful (or at least well on your way) I would love to know "having what it takes" and what you are doing and have done to get there. What did you do to develop the self-confidence and determination. How much weight do you … (2 comments)

hinsdale real estate: Helping the Consumer
- 05/13/10 04:33 AM
The bottom line as an agent is you are there to HELP. Whether you are giving them a realistic value of their much cherished home or helping them buy a home. Always keep at the forefront the clients best interests, not yours. Don't act like you are listening, REALLY listen. Watch for body language as well, then you will know what is most important to them. Every client is different. It is also an interview process, don't be afraid to ask questions for fear of not "hitting it off". Show your marketplace knowledge, marketing strategies and your business style. (Are you detail-minded, a … (8 comments)

The difference between try and triumph is a little UMPH. ~Author Unknown There are songs, books & even movies about "trying your best". If you try your best, can there be "failure"? Failure by definition is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective. That is impossible when you TRY. Define your own success. … (1 comments)

Coping with the difficult client, a few rules I try to follow: Don't take people's behavior personally. LISTEN and then gently ask questions. Do not lose your cool or interrupt. STR: Stop, Think, Respond. Acknowledge their perspective. You can only change your responses to their behavior. In the end, choose peace not conflict.

What's more important "IN" or "ON" the market? "IN" the market gets showings, shows well, aggressive marketing plan, priced right and sells. "ON" the market is seen on the internet, might show well, mediocre marketing, not priced right and activity fades quickly. You need to be "IN" it, to win it! … (1 comments)
