I love this challenge and what it means not only in my life BUT my business and my world overall!
When I looked up the definition of trust the one I found that felt the most accurate and on target for me was the following:
Confident expectation of something: hope.
This is a solid reflection on my faith, my family and my business. I have hope. In the current world we live in I think this is the one thing many people have lost sight of and the one thing that many people do not have. It is also the one thing that I try to give every buyer and every seller in my life because if I can get them to trust me I can give them hope.
As REALTORS we see everyday the lack of hope in so many peoples eyes..
- That Seller you are soliciting after having been on the market since 2005 who fears they will NEVER get the home sold so they can move on with their lives. They want a signs of hope that yes they will sell and no they will not have to feel run over again by yet another agent.
- That Buyer that is sooo afraid they will miss the opportunity to cash in on this market, while fearing they will over pay. They want hope that they will buy in a savvy fashion and they will not see another 20% drop after their purchase.
And then for me the hope that I will be able to make my customer/clients feel good about their decisions in this market so they can sleep with ease at night and trust that they are doing the right thing. I still feel that home ownership is the bedrock of our society and when people start to feel that hope again and that it is an attainable goal for them they will begin to trust our economy.
