Real Nice

If you’re a nice guy in real estate – do you have to finish last?  Not by a long shot!  To me, finishing first does not mean having high sales numbers, winning in real estate, means that my client is satisfied.  To accomplish this I need to be tenacious, tireless, educated, experienced and persistent without being pushy… OK, some pushiness is tolerable in negotiations… but most of all I need to establish trust.  To accomplish that, it has always worked for me to be a nice guy – nice to the other agent, to the other homeowners, to the other buyers – because you never know when you might run into them again.   You might argue that this is probably true for most professions, but it is especially true in small town Fargo Moorhead real estate where everybody knows everybody.  At the grocery store, at your child’s school, at the gas station – look around, there is at least one real estate agent within 10 feet of you or at least one real estate related conversation going on.  Don’t you want an agent who can be trusted, not only by you, but by the other guys as well?
