You might be able to rattle off a explanation worthy of the best real estate textbook out there, but can you actually communicate in a way that your client understands? An easy way to lose rapport and trust with a client is talk over their head. [...]
It’s the New Year – everyone is making resolutions and big plans for 2010. This is a great time for you to show your clients that you care as much about them having a great 2010 as they do. A great way to do this is get in touch with them and provide really valuable [...]
In my coaching, I am dedicated to helping the Realtors® I work with build a business based on referrals and repeat clients. I know how much of a difference it made in my own life when I was selling real estate – I went from having the undependable ebb and flow of a real estate [...]
