\u201cThe art of communication is the language of leadership.\u201d – James Humes<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have one point of contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Communicating with a team of people can be confusing. When 4 team members are cc\u2019d on an email it\u2019s only a matter of time before something is missed because it was assumed another team member was handling it.<\/p>\n

Whether you are part of a team, or are doing a deal with one, make it clear early on who will be the main point of contact.<\/p>\n

Communicate expectations:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unmet expectations can be a source of frustration and it\u2019s entirely preventable. At the beginning of the deal talk your client through the process. Communicate what you will be responsible for and what they will be responsible for. Most importantly, ask them to confirm their expectations. If there is an unreasonable expectation on your client\u2019s side, talk about it early on, before a deal is struck. Be clear and concise when communicating expectations.<\/p>\n

Stay in the drivers seat:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Send required documents and material before your clients ask for it. Sending important information ahead of time will keep your schedule more open for unexpected requests.<\/p>\n

Building \u201cmargin\u201d into your time is as important as building margin into your commissions.<\/p>\n

“The basic building block of good communications is the feeling that every human being is unique and of value.” – Unknown<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Real estate is a very rewarding business.
