Listening to the real estate radio guys podcast yesterday they brought up a great point I felt relevant to share:-How you treat people and handle situations in a time of crisis is invaluable for building trust, relationships, and loyalty which will come back to you in spades in the future.

Treating your people right when things suck will go a long way in building loyalty, trust, and relationships.If you have listened to the end of the BP RE Podcast, then you already know.Real Estate is a relationship business.What you do now, and how you handle your own situation will define you and who you are days, weeks, months, and even years after this is all history.

As is probably often the case, your dad has already shown you the way: loyalty and exclusivity!

I am not a huge fan of bills paid either, however, this deal was going to be very good until this info was uncovered.David, meeting went as expected, agent loyalty lies with seller even though seller is in the wrong here.

I don't like the idea of one agent gets both commissions, I think invariably he/she will have more loyalty to the seller.

I am a full time outside sales rep for my fathers heavy equipment company and I still have major duties and loyalty to him.
