Real estate is a reputation business. What you do today may affect your reputation—and business—for years to come. Here are 6 ways to earn respect and trust:
  • Show respect to get respect
  • Be a listener
  • Admit your mistakes
  • Stand up for yourself
  • Speak up
  • Provide your expertise, not your point of view
Congratulations to: Bill Arzt
Bill's Comments about C2EX: I originally wanted to get the certification to set myself apart from most other Brokers in our area and to always strive to learn more about what NAR has to offer us all. Also, the hands-on structure of the program was very interesting and engaging. Even after being a Realtor for over 20 years I was amazed at how much knowledge I gained from this entire program. I plan on introducing the certification to my entire office. I am going to challenge them all to achieve this certification.
