Choose your clients wisely. It's like that old saying goes, "You can choose your friends but not your relatives." In the same way, you can choose your buyers and your sellers. Don't put up with toxic clients because you need the sale. Working with people you like, and respect is essential for a successful and fulfilling transaction. Trust your instincts and be willing to walk away if the client isn't the right fit. Doing so will make room for exceptional buyers or sellers who will make the real estate journey more rewarding.
As agents, we have the freedom to select clients who value and respect our expertise. Understand that not every potential client is a good match, and that's perfectly acceptable. If you find yourself dreading each interaction, it might be time to acknowledge that the client is not the right fit and take the necessary steps. Whether it's referring them to another agent or terminating the professional relationship, always be ready to make that decision.
Working with the wrong client can cost you more than time and sleep. It can also lead to unnecessary stress and frustration. Instead of thinking of it as turning down a listing, consider it as making room for a better client who will value your services and expertise.
Real estate is a demanding yet beautiful profession, and we owe it to ourselves to work with clients who make the journey enjoyable and rewarding.
So, always choose to work with people you like and respect. You always have a choice.
