Quandary...
Hi All:
Real Estate professionals are some of the most friendly people I know. Since Real Estate is more Brian's profession than mine (I work full-time as a sales representative for a manufacturing company) I have this quandary. How do you treat your clients? I know, I know you treat them in a wonderful and respectful manner. But, really the essence of my question is do you treat them like a friend/family member or are they just a client?
I have worked in sales for 10+ years and have always been one to make my clients a top priority and have treated them as friends. I do this because I know I would want them to treat me the same way if roles were reversed. But is it the right thing to do?
I don't know if this is or is not the right thing to do but it is the only way I know how to do it and it has proven to be beneficial in the past, present and hopefully future. But, this adds to my quandary what is a rift happens in the friendship that adversely effects the business relationship?
This is a difficult quandary for me to solve. All I know is that my business relationships are important to me and my family and friends are the most important relationships in my life. So, for the time being being I am going to keep doing what I am doing.
Do you feel the same as I do or do you have another technique to make you clients feel important? I would love to read them.
Thank you as always for reading our blogs and we hope that provide you joy and contemplation.
Many Blessings,
Nancy

I treat my tenants as customers but I am friendly with them and interact with them in a normal casual manner. But I always maintain a distance... I never ask them about their personal lives and I am hesitant to let them into mine. I really don't care as long as my checks continue to show up on time. I think it is an understood arrangement all around. Sometimes tenants' personal lives affect rental, for example one of the room mates moving out (perhaps a couple broke up?) and I feel its awkward to ask. I ask something like.... are you going to get another flatmate? You gonna be ok with rent? Keeps everyone honest that business is business.
