When you ask a favor of someone, YOU also have some level of Obligation:
- Remember “Beggars can’t be choosers” – Accept what he is willing to do for you even if it’s not “perfect”
- Be on time – Don’t inconvenience . . .
- Be Flexible – Remember she is going out of her way to help you
- Have Gratitude – Be gracious and thankful before, during and after
- Assemble a Good Team – Don’t over-work those who volunteer
- Be Specific – Communicate EXACTLY what you need most
- Serve as you are being served – Pitch in and do whatever you can do to make her job of doing a favor for you easier
- Publicly acknowledge – Swallow your pride and ego.
- REWARD – Bake him a pie – or sit for her kids – do SOMETHING
- Reciprocate – Actively be on the lookout for ways you can return a favor
- Remember
- Don’t keep score
When you do a favor for someone:
- Expect NOTHING in return! Do it out of the goodness of your heart
All in the name of fostering a kinder, gentler, and more polite world.
I think I can speak for most all REALTORS that most all of do a large amount of “Pro-Bono” work as we serve our clients and communities as their “resource for all things real estate” . . . and we do so unconditionally.
How can we serve YOU?
