Being a real estate agent is, at times, a humbling experience and rightfully so.
Arrogance has no place is this profession whatsoever and a huge ego puts clients in second position, not exactly the ideal place to be in a transaction. Our duties and responsibilities are to put our clients needs and wants above our own. That is the way I see it and the rest follows.
Does everyone always play fair? Not every time and we cannot control the actions of others, only our own. Respect for our clients shows in our work ethic, being prepared and the ability to help them realize their home dreams. Will we occasionally fall short? Yes. There will be times when all terms will not be met or negotiation efforts stall or tempers flare and emotions win rather than coming to a successful end.
Give up? No. Not a chance.
Determination to succeed plays a huge part in being successful in any business arena. Tenacity plays an even larger role when desired results become more difficult to attain. Passion is the life blood that most agents carry deep inside to continue to push them forward in any situation that arises. Trust in one's self is crucial to solidifying past and present relationships, whether personal or professional.
I have been humbled on more than one occasion in this profession and rightfully so, it keeps me grounded. Stretching beyond any boundary in order to increase my knowledge base is necessary to become a better agent, to better serve clients. Am I up for the next challenge that may come into play? Yes.
Are you ready?
