Where the heart is: Home

-



Home is where the heart is.

It is also where the heart rests, heals and gets ready to go again tomorrow.

It is simple really.

Home is where we all should be able to go and find peace.

Even if that peace feels like the chaos of loud children and a spouse.

It is ours.

We sure can witness the over-complicating of that sentiment sometimes while working with people in search of their next home.

All of the detains that surround the situation can cloud the reason we lead our clients through the process in the first place…


To find home.


So if home is mostly about heart...

We shouldn’t shy away with connecting people back to what their hearts want.

It is well known that the heart can lead us all over the place and never even try to make a clever excuse.

It can do almost whatever it wants and still get a pass by saying:

“The heart wants what the heart wants”

And since we have all been there at one time or another, we concede.

Use this universal "get out of jail free" card to make a point.

The next time you hear a client out thinking themselves…

Or if you feel like they are settling for less than will make them happy.

Ask them:


“In a perfect world, if you could forget your head and follow your heart…what do you want?”


Do not be surprised if that one question can get people reconnected with why we buy homes in the first place…



Home is where the heart is.

If you know your deal is missing heart.

Go for the heart.

There is no better motivation or reason to buy.

It Takes Two to Tango

-
Getting your clients on the same page can be a challenge. It can be similar to teaching a couple how to dance. You can have the best music in the world. Provide the best stage. Showcase the dance floor with beautiful mood lighting. But if the two dancers refuse to tango together… There will be no dance. To have a Tango dance there have to be two partners dancing in sync with each other. Can you picture a Tango where the two partners both try and lead? Or worse, where no one leads? That is what it feels like where you have clients who are not on the same page for what is important when buying a home together. They often will look at you their agent and say the reason they cant make it to the “grand finally” is because of your failure at instruction. You should know better than to believe that . You cannot force a couple dance together. Similarly, you cannot complete a transaction with o...

Follow Your Gut: The real reason why you can trust a "gut feeling"

-
    “A gut feeling is instinctual.” It is either good or bad. That is often as deep as the explanation goes. We are going to go further so you can trust yourself even more… When you feel something in the pit of your stomach that is your bodies reaction to a stimuli that reminds you of everything you have come to know thus far in your life. All in a fraction of a second…whew! Everything that has ever happened to you has been stored in the Cortical Networks of your brain. And your brain sends a message to your stomach. The head makes decisions about a situation, and prompts you to pay attention. But the head is smart (redundant I know) The head is so smart it knows that it will out think itself I it doesn’t enlist help from the part of you incapable of doubt… And with your best interest in mind, the brain sends a command out. To your gut. By sending the memory related information to your stomach. Figuratively conceptualized as ...

To Grow Or To Stay

The Dilemma  If you work hard and make the sacrifices others are either unwilling or unable to make... One day you will find yourself having to make an uncomfortable choice as a contractor. You will eventually reach a crossroads where you have to decide if what you are doing now is the most you will do. The main constraint at this juncture is that you are at the mercy of physics like the rest of us. You can only be physically present in a certain number of places in one day before it becomes very obvious you have maxed out your time. Something big is happening here that many people do not think about. Most people think that if they chose to grow they are putting a lot on the line. Sacrificing family time or temporary income to train people to help you grow but that isn't what will change. If you are at this juncture you have the juggling thing down. The fact you have a decision to make rather than one that way decided by a lack of business proves my point. No, something more is goi...
