Old stuff...new ways.

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Summit Realty

Over the last few weeks I have read a number of blogs and articles that ask 'how do we do business in these unsettled times?'  The goals should be the same as they always were.  Service to the client, buyer or seller, should be the focal point.  If one keeps that purpose firmly in the forefront, everything else will fall into place.  How we do business changes with technology, and some deals may offer new learning experiences, but helping the client is the key.  Often I see the goal change to save the deal and get a commission once the contract is in place. That often leads to problems. Service works.

Excellent post!    Technology is just a tool.    The basic business premise of service to the client is what results in long term/overall success.    Thanks for the timely reminder.

Rolling with the tides does not mean constantly changing what you do.  The primary focus in this business is customer service.  If you stick with that, the rest will fall into place.
