Celebrating Success as Blooming Flowers

Celebrating Success as Blooming Flowers 


As agents, we take pride in our achievements, much like a garden full of vibrant blooms, but how can we share our growth in a humble and authentic way?

When I received my first listing, there was a large banner in our office that read, "Congratulations, Margaret."  

Today, we have the power to create our own moments of blossoming joy.  In this business, we provide valuable advice to clients, friends, and fellow agents, like nurturing plants to help them thrive. We assist our buyers and sellers in realizing their dreams and navigating various challenges. Our roles are many including being an adviser, counselor, negotiator, stager, marketer, salesperson, psychologist, and confidant—all while continuously planting and cultivating homes.  

Writing is an effective way to share our growth and accomplishments, allowing us to express our journey without waiting for a garden's bloom to be acknowledged by others. While some might perceive this as boasting, I believe it can inspire and uplift like a field of wildflowers encouraging one another to stand tall.  

Share accomplishments with confidence and sincerity, like a garden thriving with the support of its soil. I enjoy hearing about others’ growth and feel grateful when they share their positive experiences with me. We all benefit from words of encouragement, just as flowers thrive with the right amount of sun and rain.  

To share our stories gently, we might reflect on the care we’ve given our garden rather than just highlighting its abundance. Instead of saying, "I've sold a gazillion flowers this year," we could express how we've nurtured relationships with our clients and colleagues, supporting them through their challenges. This approach allows us to celebrate the journey of growth and the quiet beauty that comes from our efforts.

Hi Margaret,
I was just out in my yard, admiring the way my flowers and trees are coming back to life. It's a grand time of year. 

This is a reminder that we grow best when we grow together by sharing our experiences. 

Happy Sunday.

I completely agree with how you summed up this post, Miss Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 

Instead of saying, "I've sold a gazillion flowers this year, we could express how we've nurtured relationships with our clients and colleagues, supporting them through their challenges." 

I like your planting and blooming analogy.

Hello Margaret - a garden can be an artistic masterpiece.  Possibilities await the blank canvas.  Creativity and thoughtfulness can combine through practice.  Plus the process of developing skills that help produce better results. The similarities between real estate representation and many parts of the everyday world are illustrated time after time.

Good morning, Michael Jacobs 

Gardening reflects creativity and skill, like real estate.

When you market real estate well, it speaks volumes—not just about the property, but about your skill, dedication, your value as an agent and person. Work harder at bringing maximum attention to your property listings, to your community. Your buyers and sellers will benefit greatly from the way you paint the picture, tell the story. Your constant helpful level of service is what develops the strong personal connection @margaretrome.

connection big and small
