This topic will probably stir up some strong feelings with my fellow rainers. It has been a much-discussed topic at my office in the past. It seems to be sort of a polarizing topic.
I've been selling residential real estate for 5 years now. There are many things that I love about what I do. However, I think that my favorite thing about what I do is the social interaction with my customers. I'm a "pleaser" type.... I get extreme satisfaction from helping someone I care about make such a big decision in his or her lives. My job has allowed me to make new friends and strengthen existing friendships. I like that I CHOOSE who I work with. I have a motto that I live by... I never work with someone that I wouldn't share a meal with.
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I don't do mailers nor do I work the floor. My business is almost all from my social networking. Is that sometimes tricky? Yes. However, for me, it works.
I EXPECT that all my friends and family will only work with me. I mince no words about that subject. I expect the support from my friends and family. I know this is extreme, but I wouldn't allow anything else. To me, I see this as a loyalty issue. If you're my friend, you'll never question my loyalty. In return I expect the same... Call me a dog!
I suspect that some of you would never do business with friends and family. I would love to hear your reasons why.
BTW... that's my King Charles Cavalier, Joey at the lake.
