I look forward to your weekly podcast. So valuable. I listened to this twice. Haha - You offer so much insight and I have such an appreciation of you and also the care and thought this business requires. It blows my mind in a good way. So much noise and applause on the transactional agent and not enough on those few agents doing identity base work. It's the "never knowing" that can drive an agent out of this business or exhaust them.
Yesterday my beloved hairdresser, Robin, told me an incredible story - her young daughter is in the market to buy her first home. Her daughter will be receiving a gift (a chunk of money) from her grandparents - so she is tied to using their "trusted" agent. My hairdresser wanted her to use me (awe, I loved to hear that) and the reason being...she wants a different experience for her daughter. One that doesn't involve just setting her up to receive daily MLS listings she wants a tailored approach.
See the consumer knows...their watching and learning too...
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Grissell (and btw...your comments keep me recording these!) I'm glad you connect with the methodology - and look, the relationships always matter, but how we approach them really shifted for me. More like Anne Lamott's famous lighthouse quote: “Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining”. It's very different - and I 100% agree - the consumers are watching.
