People often ask, "How do you find the time?"

 

With deadlines to meet among the details of transactions in progress, there's no excuse to let phone calls, text messages and emails go unanswered. Avoid allowing common courtesy to go by the wayside in business.

 

Have you ever received a referral opportunity because another agent was just 'too busy' to get back to serious buyers or an anxious home seller who was ready to go? Anyone who knows me, understands that go-mode means NO TIME is wasted when it comes to achieving a clients sales goals.

 

For buyers:

Plans to meet with them, look at properties that may suit their search criteria and to always be available when necessary. Reaching their real estate goals is crucial for them and ultra-important, with no wasted time.

 

For sellers:

Setting an appointment to discuss specific details, such as timeline to list, price range, advice on decluttering or making visible repairs to be made to garner more money plus adding some curb appeal if necessary.

 

Busy work takes time, especially ensuring details are correct in all real estate transactions. If client traffic flow decreases because you cannot find the time to provide adequate service, my advice is to get back to the basics or hire someone to manage the paperwork side while you create business.

 

Gardening requires a sincere, daily commitment during growing season. No excuses for lazy standards or skipping maintenance because of poor time management. Success depends on consistent methods.

 

People often ask, "How do you find the time?"

I answer, "Next to the Sage."

When taking on clients, following through to the end is essential, especially in working relationships when people are dependent in a successful outcome, Dr. Paula McDonald.

When something is planned, like family time, the NASCAR race in Vegas or a Silobration, I refuse to allow someone to schedule during that time. Been there, done that in the past with zero results, except for a huge amount of disappointment and frustration. Not any more, Brian England!

I always think of time being invested or wasted. When we are intentional in our behaviors we can separate the two. Good morning.

We have pulled so many strawberries in the last several afternoons that I have set aside the day to make more jam, Roy Kelley. Happy gardening to you and Dolores!

I can’t imagine ever being too nosy for a new client.

Never too busy for clients and if they want me to be nosy, it depends on the reasoning behind the request, Lise Howe! LOL

Wanda - knowing and focusing on the priorities, not letting yourself get distracted by busywork, and having systems in place will help get things done in a timely manner.

Every year we get new technology to help us …. But nothing beats organization. Without out, we are toast! I blame the fax machine. Prior to those, we could take our time and no one expected anything instantly

Real Estate is not a profession for the average or lazy person.  Managing our time is a priority and good communication goes hand in hand.  If we find ourselves overloaded, then it is time to hire out the job duties that take the most time (usually administrative) ... IMHO

 

Loved your ending.  You have a good sense of humor Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can!
