In my experience, we serve our clients best when we adopt an attitude of respect and cooperation.
Remember how uncertain everything was when the pandemic started? We faced so many unknowns, including what would happen in the real estate market.
值得庆幸的是, 德州2021十大正规彩票app经纪人® worked during the early days of the pandemic to get real estate designated as an essential service. Transactions could proceed with proper health and safety precautions in place. 即便如此, who would have imagined the volume of residential transactions to come, the multiple-offer scenarios that would take place, and the price appreciation we’ve seen during the last few years? 这是惊人的. But in retrospect, it’s not such a surprise. 毕竟, the quality of life and opportunities in Texas cities, 城镇, 农村地区是无与伦比的.
Many Texas markets have eased off from the record sales of last spring and summer, but only slightly. The number of transactions this year far surpasses the sales during the same time period in the years prior to the pandemic. In other words, the Texas real estate business is still booming.
A thriving real estate market still presents challenges, 虽然. 在如此高的销售活动中, we have to maintain the high level of service and professionalism expected of REALTORS®. That applies to our clients and customers and to each other. 是的, 我们对客户负有信托责任, but remember that the 道德守则 requires us to treat all parties honestly.
Our responsibilities to others go even beyond honesty. In my experience, we serve our clients best when we adopt an attitude of respect and cooperation. An adversarial stance might be the reflex when parties are on opposing sides of a transaction, but I find that people are generally happier and more successful when we seek the proverbial win-win in real estate transactions.
例如, I believe we owe it to our clients to make sure newer agents –all agents, really–are filling out contracts correctly. There’s a way to point out issues like that without a “gotcha” mentality. It is just professional that we all work together.
