Ya know, everything in real estate has changed. But the one thing that hasn't seemed to change is all the myths around Realtors; how they work (or do they?), what motivates them, or even more sinister - just what are their motivations, AND just how much dad gum money do they really make?
Just when you think you've found out everything you need to know about the "dirty, little secrets agents don't want you to know" from a bazillion of misinformed and, in all fairness, probably well meaning Web sites, here's what you really need to know.... starting with my favorite - - -Realtors are always late!
Out of my Marine Corps training came the lesson; "To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, to be late is unacceptable!" So you can see how I roll !
Every person, whether a client or not, deserves respect. So there's no excuse for habitual tardiness among professionals. I've even picked a Doctor who sees me in his office - ON TIME! (His Dad was a Marine....do you think that changes things?!?)
Respect is providing what is promised. Anytime, we as professionals don't honor that promise, then we've put our own interests above our clients. Not OK.
Agents who don't practice respect, first by honoring your time, are just simply not professionals. Get rid of them. Believe me, there are plenty of us who treat this business as a profession by first giving you the respect you deserve, as evidenced by the honoring of your time.
So, don't make the assumption that all Realtors can't keep time. The Pro's will !
I'll see ya on the other side!
