I’m Guilty of Having Favorite Clients

Posted on by Living Room Realty

There I said it.

I can only imagine how hard it is for a teacher in a classroom not to have a few favorites. Those lucky few students—the ones that are cute, smart, and well-behaved — the ones that are accustomed to big smiles and giving their teacher hugs. Those students that show their appreciation for you and are vocal about it.

I would have been a rotten teacher in that regard. For even in real estate, I find myself drawn to particular clients. It’s often the clients that really wish to know me and the internal workings of who I am as a ‘whole person’ rather than just a transaction coordinator of a home sale whom I fall for. Often these folks share the quality of curiosity, joy, storytelling, transparency and connectivity. Rather than our relationship being about just another home purchase or sale, they see our relationship as part of something grander. As if we were destined to meet so that we could develop a friendship and be there for one another over after the deal has closed. Meet Laura Duffey – A woman of travel, cooking, master gardener, insightful thinker, stoic, hardworking and a sassy sense of humor. Off to Montana she goes! Oh, how I will miss knowing she is perched on the hillside of Mt. Tabor watering her zinnia’s and kale. Laura is one remarkable woman and I am glad to call her my client and friend.
