Call me! Tell me something…have you heard? I though she said…but when I think about it it had to be like this…
Hmm, hearing and listening. Understanding and repeating. Life is full of incredible amounts of information from a myriad amount of people, and as such we have a seemingly short time to assimilate and disseminate this information. We “Pack” things in to look at later, lol! Its tough getting through the lists sometimes. ….do you have a list? I seem to have multiple lists which I constantly “Re-List” onto a newer master list.
Honestly. we forget so much, but we are also learning so many new things, constantly. Today for instance I discovered “Adele 19″ Holy cow can she ever sing! LOVE her VOICE! see now I’m off track, which is why I have lists. My son Reid, would probably verify the list thing for you. Actually anybody I know would. The point is unless I write it down I will probably forget it, because something new has come into view, or the telephone rings or my Black Berry pings/dings or some other noise happens like the door bell.
In real estate there is far more than meets the eye, and for a lot of people it means everything to them. The outcome of a negotiation can be exhilarating and joyous; it can also be exhausting and difficult to deal with. Which is why it is so important to communicate clearly and openly with your “team”, which includes your solicitor, financier, partner/wife/husband and your real estate salesperson. If not, the outcome of your negotiation may not be what you visualized.
Talk with each other, be open, be honest, and kind. If the other party of the conversation does not understand, try again, until everyone understands. This does not mean agree…that is something else entirely. Write down ideas and thoughts and refer back to them, keep the notes and file them. Read the proposed “Counter Offer”, be clear what you wish conveyed to the other party. Edit it all, refine it all, and if possible be concise. A simpler concept is easier to grasp, so then should your agreement to the other side!
lol! I was just looking at the photo to the right of my son Reid. I remember him when was just a tiny boy learning to walk. We lived in the country and had just moved to the city on a busy corner lot. I was concerned for him so I made sure I talked with him about the road, and where he was, and about the danger of going off of the lot. He listened, and asked a couple of questions which with my answers helped him understand the danger of the road and the safety of the garden.
He never went onto the road.
He listened, and he understood.
Love you Reid!
