Over my 10 years in real estate, I have sold over 1500 homes in and near to La Quinta, California. I have met all kinds of buyers and sellers. This weekend I found a very challenging client - my husband.
My husband is not a realtor. He is a retired chirporactor. He does know alot about real estate after listening to me for 10 years in the business.
We are in the process of downsizing out home in La Quinta, California. I took my husband to view some homes in Trilogy La Quinta where we are considering moving.
He spent almost 30 minutes in the 1st home that was 1500 sq. ft. Then he asked me to pull my car into the extended garage so he could see if his golf cart would fit. Now he wants to measure the golf cart.
It was an eye opening showing for me as I just whiz people through the homes and tell them- oh don't worry about that. We can handle it. Or - this will be fine- this is usually how it goes. I learned that many of these people probably know less about real estate than my husband and probably trust me less too.
I have taken a new approach of asking questions, taking more time, and listening. I think it is good to be assertive, take control - you are the parent, they are the child, but let people figure out what works for them and then move through it.
Showing my husband homes at Trilogy La Quinta was a learning experience for me.
