Quote for the day...

By
Real Estate Agent with Exit Realty Tri-County

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.

Doug Larson

I am only beginning to realize the impact of this quote....if I could have understood how important this statement is when I was younger.  Listen more and talk less.  Now, if I could only make my 13 and 14 year old children grasp this concept.

Have a great weekend.

As Real Estate agents, we should all abide by this quote. If we listen more and talk less, our business just might see an increase.

Ya I think ONLY time helps us understand this concept, but good news at least we finally get it :-) unfortunately a lot of people never get it and talk all the way to their grave .

Two ears and one mouth for a reason, right?  I think I will email this to my 14 and 16 year old, they never seem to listen!

Well, I tried!!
