A couple perceptive takes on love and relationships – to inspire and work in your (professional) favor.

When we are in a truly loving relationship, we receive the gift of being known and accepted. We become more, not less of who we are. We receive the space in which to bloom. This is how we know we are in a loving relationship. We are blooming, and the one we love is blooming as well. – Brenda Shoshann

It’s the truth.
When your sellers bloom toward new horizons…
When your buyers bloom into their dream home…
Your reputation, income and influence blooms into more hearts and minds. Simple as that.

There’s a difference between somebody who wants you, and somebody who would do anything to keep you. Remember that. – Anonymous.

Take that same logic and apply it to your leads and clients.
What are you doing different that sets you apart and will keep folks “faithful” to you?

Relationships have cycles that can go something like this:
The Romance…  your blossoming relationship is perfect, there’s a strong mutual attraction.
The Reality…  except for a few expectations and needs that might not be met 100%.
The Reaction…  time to take control, charge, responsibility and reach out accordingly with the right resources.
The Resistance…  despite passionate efforts, you might face some temporary backlash and nitpicking, stay patient and strong.
The Reflection…   what lessons can you take away that’ll avoid rocky realities in the future?
The Renewal…   reiterate and re-energize your committed efforts toward fulfilling real estate dreams (+ be sure to give yourself a little TLC, while you’re at it).
