Confidence

By
Mortgage and Lending with Diverse Solutions

The wikipedia definition of having confidence is:

"the state of being certain that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective given the circumstances."

Confidence is showing:

Picture_21_2

It's the way you feel after a successful interview.

It's wearing high heels to work because they make you feel great. Or for men, it's wearing a strong suit and tie.

It's standing up during a meeting to speak your mind regardless of what anyone else thinks.

The opposite of confidence of course is fear or reluctance:
Picture_24

It's not knowing whether you're going to get that job you applied and interviewed for.

It's not knowing what shoes to wear in the morning or being embarrassed to wear that tie.

It's slumping down in the back of the room hoping you won't get called on for fear of the foolish remark you might make.

What does any of this have to do with Real Estate? EVERYTHING! I mean you are buying a house in the range of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Was scouting commercial space for a client today and saw this:

A Black Belt is a White belt that never quit.

Ricardo I hope you are well, and the reason you have not been here is because you are busy. Confidence... I've been talking to my team about that. MOST consumers just want to and depend on your having confidence in what you are telling them.
