There are too many times we hear and read about the trials and tribulations of being a REALTOR.  Not to say that we do not go through these ups and downs.  However, if you stop to think about it there are so many aspects of real estate that make us happy. When we are having a particularly tough time we can think about some of these things and, hopefully, feel much better.

These are some of the things we hear that make us feel good:

 

  • I see your signs all over the place.

  • I read your blog.

  • When I search for real estate on the Internet you name keeps popping up.

  • You have been so patient with me.

  • We would not have gotten this house if it wasn't for you.

  • We didn't know which way to turn until we met you.

  • You priced our house right and made it possible for us to get it sold.

  • You looked out for our best interest and we appreciate that.

  • Your marketing plan was the perfect one for our place.

  • I'm glad we listened to you about preparing our home before putting it on the market.

  • If I ever know of anyone looking for a REALTOR, I will certainly recommend you.

  • I was referred to you by a friend.

  • You've shared so much about this area with us we're going to feel right at home.

  • Thanks for really listening to us.

  • My mom is going to need someone to hold her hand through the process and we were told you would.

  • You're a real problem solver.  This sale may not have worked if you had not been our REALTOR.

  • You made sure we saw enough homes to have a good idea of what's available.
Please add any comments that made you feel like a million dollars.  I know there are many more good things that have been said so share them with us.

Great list Kate.  I wonder why you didn't think of the tourniquet?  Leave it to Paul.  He thinks of everything.  I love it when people tell me they read my blog.

Hi Susan...Your blog is fun.  And helpful too.  Thought I'd better add that.

I need Paul to help out this little old lady.  Thank goodness for him.  If only I could understand him all of the time.

No rhyme, nor reason, Kate.  Just sounded scandalous.  Understanding is, at best, a 50/50 proposition even for me. ;)

Kate, those are all wonderful statements, and if you are a good "listener" and "person who cares" everything will fall right into place for you. Words of kindness are never wasted. You've boosted many here. Thanks.

Hi Gary...It's good for us to remember that there is so much more to real estate than the commission to receive.  The good feelings that we generate and that we receive are so important.

Skills are one thing, but as you said listening and caring, are equally if not more important.  You have it all.

Kate, the best way to understand Paul is to have a thesaurus next to you.  The dude is not only adorable, but has the best vocabulary of anyone I know.

Hi Susan...You are so right, about both things.  

It's what he does with his words that blow my mind.  I wish I had half his creativity and imagination.

Hi Kate, This is such a great list of things that make us happy!  One day, while we were still in negotiations my buyer said "Thank you so much for finding this cabin for us" - just that simple thank you made my week! and also get happy when someone says "I read your blog"

Thanks for the feel-good post Kate!

Hi Russel...Yes they do.  We had magnet signs on the vehicle my husband drove and he would sometimes get asked about real estate.  He knew enough to carry my cards with him.
