A few unpopular opinions I have as your realtor…
The agent on the other side of the deal isn’t my opponent.
Some of my favorite people in this industry are the agents I’ve negotiated with. We’re working toward the same thing — a happy client — and the best deals I’ve closed are the ones where everyone played fair.
I don’t buy leads.
Almost every client I’ve worked with came from someone who knew me or trusted me. It’s not a slower way to build a business, it’s the only way I’m interested in.
I will tell you when I’m not the right agent for you.
I will tell you when the timing isn’t right. I will tell you your price is wrong. I’d rather lose a listing than win it by saying what you want to hear — because the agent who tells you only what you want to hear is the one you’ll fire in 60 days when nothing has sold.
I won’t rush you.
Not into a house. Not into selling. Not into a price reduction. My job is to advise you and then let you make the call. My job is to advise you, not to pressure you.
Many of my clients become friends (and many of my friends become clients!).
Some people will tell you business and personal shouldn’t mix. But real estate IS personal. You’re trusting me with the biggest financial decision of your life, the place you’ll wake up every day, the address your kids will grow up at. Of course it’s personal. It should be.
The fact that I’m still in touch with people I helped buy their first house ten years ago isn’t an accident. It’s the whole point.
