Real Estate Personality- Do You Have What It Takes?

Celeste, You're describing a true professional in every sense. This is how we approach every client relationship and transaction. Very nice post!

I just love this little post. It speaks to the heart of the industry. I constantly strive to accomplish all those things. Sometimes I fall short but I always try try again.

Yes Sally, it really does take a certain personality to be a good real estate agent.  Remaining calm under stress, and being able to dig down to find the solutions to problems is what separates the best from the rest!

Sally - We sure are kind of a jack of all trades when it comes to the complexities of a real estate transaction especially this past year.  Each one is more difficult than the next and keeping a cool head and the virtue of patience is a must with everyone involved.

Hi Sally...I must because I still really, really enjoy it and have had my share of success.  I've met many others that have walked away not simply because they were not earning as much as they thought they would but because they really weren't excited about what they were doing.

Sally,

We do have to wear quite a few different hats.  One of my agents was playing marriage counselor the other day.

I think anyone in the service business needs to be this way.  We need to change at a moment's notice because we are dealing with different personalities and we need to be the one who holds everything together.

Sally... what about us loan officers?  ;o(  Seriously, this is spot on and I agree with Jane above.. but not everyone is like this...  good post and thanks for sharing this.

Sally, What an uplifting post.  You are of course so right.  We work with people of all personalities and persuasions. We need not only market knowledge but wisdom and above all Patience.

Hi Sally - You're so right. I think our job is part counselor, and in some transactions that is the major part of it.  Without an understanding of people of all types, this business would be impossible.

Sally - great post once again! Indeed, those that last in this business over the years have the ability to adapt!

Sally, you are so right!! What a wonderful and up lifting post.  Happy Holidays to you and your family!  Have a fun and relaxing time while it is a little slow!

Great post! If the rest of the world knew just how many different hats a true real estate professional wears they would have a whole lot more respect for all of you.
