There Go My People
“There go my people. I must follow, for I am their leader.” - annonymous
As Principal Broker for our organization, I believe it is my core function to support my agents in any way possible - so long as it is ethical, legal and puts the clients’ interests first.
We have all heard in the news that “the economy is different than the stock market”. Most forcasters warn of a further slow down ahead. More than ever, it means, that REALTORS - who are in a positon of leadership in the transcations they negotiate - need to stay calm and positive and look for solutions to the inevitable problems as they arise.
Emotions are running high today. Many sellers are irritated and feel taken advantage of by Buyers. Many Buyers don’t trust thier own intuition and deals can fall apart over semingly insignificant issues. Many Lenders are fighting with the Underwriters who over scrutinize and question many files.
Where is the safe haven to find reassurance, support, solutions, commradarie, and a free cup of coffee? I believe that is my job.
The old adage that “misery loves company” is not entirely true. Misery demands company. In our office, let’s decide to take a “NO TOLERANCE” to negativity. Let’s become a Misery Free Zone.
The next step is to think about what we can offer the public beyond what we get paid to do. How about not only under-promise and over-delivering, let’s band together as an organization and help out those that need us.
Let me know what organization or group or cause you think we could work together on to assist. After all, as we look around us, there go our people!
