Commitment To Excellence Is More Than A Buzz Phrase

Gary, I strive every day to be the best for my clients and so far have a high satisfaction rating! As far as 'striving for perfection', I'm happy to be out of the running! Thanks for a great post!

gary, excellence takes daily concentration and focused performance. The time and the effort are worth it when your reputation brings you business.

Gary-So true my friend. God didn't make us to live a life of mediocrity but to be our best and that means to strive for excellence. Great post OH wise one. <SMILE>

Gary:  This blog has got that New Kids on the Block song stuck in my head now.  The Right Stuff.  Great message! 

I only feel like I'm just "going through the motions" on the weekends when I'm trying to fill the voids in the day.  Otherwise, my life and business are busy busy and I live for competition, you should know that!!  :)

Hey Gary, I needed to hear this today. Lately for some reason I've been struggling with a lack of motivation. Thanks for the inspiration; I definitely want to excell in what I'm doing!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Anne Rains

Gary, I would bet that they're clients pick up on the fact that someone is "just doing their job."  I have to wonder how many referrals they would get after their work is over.  I think many of us go well above and beyond our clients expectations--at least I hope so.

Gary, many people want you to think they are on top of things but don't have the gumption to actually do it!

Hi Gary...Interesting....Maybe it is me...maybe it is my market..maybe it is the sign of the times....but I find  SOME  sellers and buyers expect    beyond

Excellence and Dedication in their Realtors.

  I am not saying they receive that level of service from all agents... but lately the consumer  demands are a little extreme  ( in some instances )

 I hear agents on the brink of tears over a sellers rant because of no showings on a house ,  yet will not even consider a price reduction because their 850 sq ft house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath is worth as much as the neighbors 1500 sq ft 3 bedroom 2 bath ...

. or the buyer who decides they want to see 20 houses each day until they see every 500 houses on the market

It is no wonder how only the strong survive in this market.  I can see how agents can get beaten down by the demands of the uncaring -un appreciative consumer. Thank God there is a balance because there are those consumers that put a value and appreciation to how we service their needs and it is to them we owe thanks...not only because we have a job,

( some have no jobs )   but because it inspires and motivates us to continue toward Excellence and dedication in our profession.
