5 Tips To Romance Your Clients
Who says romance and business don’t mix?
Okay, maybe dating your clients isn’t a good idea, but it doesn’t hurt to show them a little love.
Here are 5 classic relationship tools that apply to your business:
- Talk to them. Yes, sometimes you need to pick up the phone and actually talk to them. Email, texting and emoji’s aside, some things are best handled with a live interaction.
- Tell them what’s going on. Don’t keep your clients in the dark. Don’t assume they know you are working hard for them. Keep them in the loop. It helps them feel comfortable with the process and confident in you.
- Acknowledge how they feel. This doesn’t mean you have to get all mushy, but buying and selling a house is a very emotional experience. Those emotions affect the decisions we make. Acknowledging how someone feels can make it easier to move through things.
- Say thank you. Let your clients know how much you appreciate them.
- Make them feel like they are your one and only. You might have a long list of clients that you are working with, but be present when you are with your clients. Make them feel like they are important, and matter to you.
Whenever a client agrees to work with you, consider it an honor that you are able to help them with such an important piece of their life.
To your success!

Markets Like This Call For Shorter Timeframes
For 30 years I’ve planned a year at a time. But right now I’m doing things differently. I’m breaking my plan into 60-90 day chunks. Short term planning used to stress me out. It felt like there wasn’t any margin for error if I got off track. However, right now, it feels supportive. While I…
Why I Stopped Doing Open Houses The First Weekend
Open houses the first weekend – we all do them. We tell our clients it will increase exposure. But what if those open houses are making it more difficult to sell your listing? Consider this… Buyers have come to rely on open houses to view properties. It’s convenient for them, but it means fewer showings.…
What If The Market Is Better Than You Think?
Try this on for size: What if the market isn’t good or bad? What if it’s about shifting your perspective? There are amazing opportunities for both buyers and sellers right now. For buyers: Prices are down (yay!) and interest rates are up (boo!). Buyers need to consider both. In many areas prices are down 10-20%.…

The Cost of Waiting

It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too
I’ve spent years working on my own limiting beliefs — but I discovered one at the Abraham Hicks workshop last weekend that I had completely missed. Esther, aka Abraham Hicks, has been a leader in mindset, energy, and attraction for decades. My mom actually took my sister and me to a workshop 30 years ago,…
Bet On Yourself VS The Market
Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…
I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August
Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…
Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start
August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…
What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
