Real Estate Agents Help People Move Forward

College is a time to figure out what you want to do next.  Most of us enter college with one major and graduate after several “major” adjustments…and most of them don’t include the study of real estate.

What a Real Estate Agent Does

I was speaking with a recent high school graduate and asked her what she planned to study in college.  Although she wasn’t completely sure (what Freshman is), she was leaning towards Psychology.  When I asked why, she said that she enjoyed helping people work through their problems. She said she was a good listener and thought that was a good trait for a Psychologist.  After she finished talking I said, “that sounds a lot like what I do”.

Real Estate Agents Listen

To be a good real estate agent you must be a good listener.  Not only do you have to listen to what people are saying, you have to listen to what they aren’t saying.  What they aren’t saying can speak volumes.  You look at their body language when you discuss their finances and you watch their faces when they enter properties.  Those small nuisances are very insightful.  So many agents are busy “selling” that they can’t hear what their client is trying to tell them and miss cues that could make their job easier.

Our Most Important Job

Most people think  that all a real estate agents does is show people houses or put  houses up for sell.  And while we do help people buy and sell real estate, it’s what happens at the beginning of that relationship that makes us a good real estate agent.  The most important job of a real estate agent is that we help people move forward.  We work with people going through major life changing events.
  • The recently engaged couple who can’t seem to agree on what they really want in their new home.
  • The angry divorced couple looking to go their separate ways; taking you on a stressful ride.
  • The client with a new baby on the way, looking for a little more space to raise their growing family.
  • The recently widowed client looking to move closer to their adult children.
These are just some of the people we help to move forward.  We are interested in what brought them to us and patiently listen to their stories to get a better understanding of what they need and what they are going through.  We need to listen to hear valuable information to help them move on to the next phase of their lives.

Help Clients Move Forward

By understanding their situation we can determine the best way to communicate with them.  It helps us help them through the home buying and home selling process.  What we learn from them helps us negotiate the best price, terms and conditions and enables us to help them see the future and move forward. Be prosperous!
