My approach is simple.
I treat my clients exactly how I'd like to be treated. It really is that simple. I don't like to be pressured, so I never pressure my clients. I like to be treated kindly, so I always bring a positive attitude. I don't let people down with empty promises, so I do exactly what I say. I appreciate it when people answer the phone, so I answer my phone! It sounds dead simple, but I am amazed at how many people simply don't follow these life's simple rules.
Because I approach real estate service this way, my clients and I form a great team from the get-go, and we get the results we want while enjoying the journey. I call my approach Mindfulness in Real Estate, and I believe being mindful and passionate about my work is what sets me apart and sets my clients up for success time and time again.
