🎙️ The side of real estate you don’t always see.
When you’re planning a home-shopping trip, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes before you ever walk through the first door.
We spend hours scheduling showings, coordinating with listing agents and builders, researching properties, adjusting schedules, and preparing so your time in town is productive. We genuinely get excited for our clients and love sharing the local knowledge and expertise we’ve spent years building.
In return, we ask for something very reasonable: a commitment to working together through a written agreement.
If you’re not comfortable making that commitment, that’s completely okay. I’m happy to have a conversation, answer questions, or meet for coffee to see if we’re a good fit. What I can’t do is rearrange days of my schedule, take time away from existing clients, and open doors for hours or days while someone decides which agent they prefer.
Interviewing multiple agents? Absolutely. I encourage it. You should choose the professional who feels like the best fit for you. But that process should happen before we commit substantial time and resources to your home search.
You’re interviewing me, and I’m also determining whether we’re a good professional fit. And if we aren’t the right fit, there are no hard feelings. Not every client is my client, and that’s okay.
What isn’t okay is retaliation because I’ve established a professional boundary. Calling my colleagues to pressure, intimidate, or attempt to bully them because you didn’t like my answer is not acceptable. A professional boundary should never become a personal attack.
We’re all adults and professionals. Sometimes the best answer is simply, “My availability won’t accommodate,” and moving on. A little perspective and self-reflection can go a long way.
Professional boundaries aren’t personal. They’re part of doing business well.
