Are you taking on new clients? Yes.
Are you taking on every new client? No. I am selective – and everyone benefits.
Would I appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to see if we’re a good fit? Absolutely.
One of my goals this year is to say no. I have said this many times over the years-that I’m going to say no-but this year I intend to follow through.
I work when my clients don’t; I intend to work better this year for them.
A client told me (last) year that moving is the single-greatest trauma aside from death or divorce that you can inflict upon yourself and your family. He’s right. If I can help my clients through this trauma, that’s my privilege.
This is going to be a busy year on a lot of fronts, and recognizing limitations – mine and that of my time – will lead to better and more efficient productivity.
I will be saying no to more people – no to some committees, no to some potential clients who have markedly unreasonable goals and expectations, no to fellow agents if need be.
This is a primer for what I’ll send you after we first meet. Want to get started now? Here’s the buyer survey.
Questions: Call or email me anytime. 434-242-7140
* note: if you end up not working with me, but working with one of the lenders I recommend, I do appreciate your dropping my name when you start working with them … even if you’re working with another agent; I appreciate the karma.
