Which is better? Clients with similar taste as yourself, or a challenge?

By
Real Estate Agent with H2 Properties

I think we all as Realtors love that our jobs aren't the same every day. We don't clock in and out, have the same daily routines down to a science, or have a boss breathing down our backs. Certainly, the more you put into your career, the more rewarding it shall be I must include though.  

This brings me to my question. Would you prefer clients that share your interests in a home so that you relate to them better, i.e. floor plans, decor, locations, styles? or would you prefer the challenge of learning a client's way of life and specific by-the-book tastes? 

Or are you like me? I would prefer working with the contemporary, youthful youthful-minded buyers and sellers because I'm in my element and area of expertise, BUT will not hesitate working with the more difficult clients. Challenges are what make the business less static, more dynamic. Challenges make you grow.

More conservative buyers and sellers should take the fresh approach more often! :)

CJ - I like working with all kinds of clients - young, old, and everything in between. It helps when they are fun to be around, and it also helps if we have the same taste. I learned early on that clients rarely like what I like, but as long as we get a deal done, I don't care!
