I put my own house on the market Friday and as I am each and every time I buy, sell or invest in real estate for myself / my family, I was humbled quickly. I think all real estate agents and brokers should somehow be required to buy/sell every few years to be reminded of the emotion, stress and excitement of it all.
My wife tried to fire me before we were even on the market! I'm confident that our team does a great job of setting appropriate expectations for our home sellers as to what the staging, photography and positioning stage of the process looks like. I DID NOT DO THIS WELL WITH MY WIFE!
That was Friday. This is Monday morning and we just accepted an AWESOME offer! The good news is our real estate marketing process still works amazingly well. The HUMBLING news is that I always, always need to get better at communicating.
Are you setting and keeping appropriate expectations in your relationships at work, home and in between? One of the most important core values we have on our team is: You are the product of your own expectations.
Think on that today and let me know what you come up with.
Have a fantastic week,
Todd
