I worked in corporate banking for 13 years. I was crawling out of my skin behind those 4 walls. I'm the anti-corporate type. A renegade of sorts. 

You can call it hand-crafted or built from the ground up but the facts remain the same- nobody & I mean nobody (atleast around here) does what I do with the same success I have doing it. In fact, most agents run for the hills when you say short sale. Not a CDPE, my track record's built on real experience.

Yes. I am not of the assembly line of agents using a next, next, next approach.

By the way, I have been with four major national franchises in the past 20 years and have never followed any template nor have I ever been given a template and/or been asked to follow it. The only place where a brokerage tried to push me into a "template" was a local, regional company. I reminded them what the term "independent contractor" meant and they went in search of easier prey.

I certainly hope that I am crafting my service to meet the clients specific needs. I always sit down and interview them, regardless of whether it is buyer or seller. I want to know what is motivating them.

I don't always agree with their choices, but I will do what I can to meet their needs. It is not about me, it is about them.
