Do You Remember Your First Real Estate Lesson?

Barbara Todaro is one of my favorite bloggers on AR. She blogs and blogs and always has something to say of interest.  This post is so true.  The other thing I learned way back when was to never lose sight of who I represent in the transaction.

Do you remember the first lesson you learned when you started in the real estate business?  I remember my first lesson and I’ve passed it along to other newly licensed real estate agents who I’ve had the pleasure of training. 

I was reminded by Carol-Ann Palmieri, an ActiveRainer who does a fantastic job of blogging, that one of the first lessons she learned from me was “to always take care of the co-broke agent.”  Today that would be a buyer’s agent.  Decades ago, it was just “the co-broke agent” because we all represented the seller. 

This was one of the first lessons that I learned, and if any lesson will make you money, this is the one.  If you want other agents to continue to show your listings and encourage their clients to see them, be good to those agents.  Make life easy for those agents. 

Return phone calls made by those agents; have written information about the property readily available for those agents; make access to the home easy; make yourself available if they want to be accompanied; and do whatever it takes to make their job easy.

You’ve heard the old adage “happy wife, happy life.”  Without that co-broke, you may go-broke.  Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.  Cooperation goes a long way in the real estate business.
