Voted Colorado Springs Best Realtor

I have always believed a 4 year degree in psychology would be a helpful addition to our real estate license. 😇 When I first started almost three decades ago, NAR had a statistic that we would have to placate (on average) 71 people from start to finish to effectuate a successful transaction. Seemed amazing to me, but not out of line.

 

I'm happy to say in all my transactions, less than a handful of clients have known my political persuasion. I lead with kindness and compassion, which hopefully demonstrates a belief in a divine power greater than ourselves. And our relationships with other agents is vital. We want people to want to work with us, and our reputation is what we have to sell.

I would say 85% confident in my abilities to navigate the non-business talk. Small town were everyone knows you tends to make it easy for me to navigate that type of conversation. I listen to my clients and value the fact I do listen and respect them.

Religion and politics are not part of the real estate process, Richie. If someone wishes to express themselves, I listen, without contributing and then we move on to successfully achieving their goals.

By not caring about those things except doing my best to ensure my clients are very well taken care of - PERIOD... Like I've said before when listening to the BS in the world and still (to me) are true. "Believe Nothing that You Hear, and Half of What You See!"

How many times have I 

brought healthy food to borrowers

matched with an attorney to fix their problems

patch together a couple headed for divorce

found a lost sibling or heir

provided boxes and packed

installed a carbon monoxide/smoke detector before the appraiser showed

listened to their hearts and only offered advice when they asked

fixed credit, found someone a better job, got out a chainsaw, drove a mom to temple or mass...

I never talk about politics. I have no control over politics, not my interest or wheelhouse.

I am sure of my ability to handle most situations that come up. Some are so sad & are so embarrassing to the seller. I just help them get out of their situation.  Same with buyers, I don't make any judgements, just help out their situation. It has worked well for me.

You can usually read a client at the first meeting, and have always believed politics and religion should not be in a conversation.    Our opinions on these things are OUR opinions, and believe it should stay that way.

Listen and say it is something you have not pondered in that depth and move on. Their opinion is the one that counts.

My parents taught me at an early age not to discuss politics, religion or income - at the dinner table. I extended that rule into adulthood, as a former nurse and now, business owner. Not only do almost all of my clients have no clue what religion or political persuasion I am, I don't know theirs either! 

Otherwise, be kind, listen, educate and be a bit of a chameleon - enjoy their conversation to the fullest. You may learn something! LOL

I focus on what my clients are looking for in their real estate needs and that they can complete the transaction legally.  Their personalities, beliefs, etc. are no business of mine to judge and I stay clear of those conversations if it could become a problem.  If I'm asked outright what my stand is on something, I will give an answer that doesn't offend, but makes it clear that I have clients with all kinds of beliefs and we don't have that come between us working together.  That this makes for a healthy business relationship.
