Doing business by referral

All in the family

Seattle was also the place where I changed careers. After 20-plus years of design and writing, I was found suddenly to be too old to be a creative director. Not necessarily by design, but by His plan, I entered the world of real estate. At about the same time, my wife found work in the mortgage business. Her practical and emotional support were immeasurable. So was the support we received from our church.

Another thank you goes to our son. When he was five, I introduced him to the world of computing only to have him teach me later a thing or two about the digital world. 

Repeat Business

Looking back over this year and the last, I noticed that the ratio of my buying and selling clients is about 50/50. What’s more important is that 85 percent of the transactions involve clients with whom I’ve worked before. 

Thanks for the recommendations!

There’s no resting on laurels. Real estate is a competitive business. I prefer not to spend the majority of my time on self-promotion and chasing after “leads” but instead in the service of my clients. To accomplish that, I rely in large part on the recommendation from my existing clients. I know that many of my clients have recommended me to other buyers and sellers. This is very gratifying. Thank you!
