The Blue Collar Realtor
#130 - Mother’s Day just passed and that day brought thoughts of my mother to the top of my mind. She was a Realtor, a very good Realtor. I thought of her as “The Blue Collar Realtor,” but more about that in a second.She loved real estate. It was her life – and her death. She literally died on the job – while showing a home. She didn’t see a step down and fell and hit her head in just the wrong way and lost consciousness. I can tell you, there is no other way she’d want to go – doing what she loved – and helping the people she loved. Now, more about being “The Blue Collar Realtor.”Great Service For AllMy mother provided real estate services for a broad spectrum of people, but her favorite clients were those at the very low end of the economic ladder. She loved getting to know the people and learning their life stories and helping them to achieve their goals. Most of the people she helped lived in a small community just over the Texas state line called Chaparral, New Mexico. There were very few Realtors who served this community at the time. Chaparral was located about 45 minutes from her house – so not only was she selling low end homes, but she had to drive a long way to do so.Mother Knows BestI used to give my mother a hard time about working in Chaparral – but I admit – I was wrong. She was setting a great example of how to be a professional. Being a professional means providing expert assistance to everybody, regardless of the price range that they are in. She loved serving.Be A Blue Collar RealtorOn this Mother’s Day, I want to encourage you to be like my mother. Do the right thing. Help everyone regardless of the price range they are in. Not only is it the right thing to do, but you never know what might come from it. You might get a lot of repeat and referral business. This crazy career we are in often takes many strange, unexpected turns. Working hard as a blue collar Realtor might just lead to great rewards – both for you and the people you help.Join The UnSalesperson Community!Would you like to connect with fellow unsalesy Realtors and introverts in real estate and learn how they are doing it, share ideas on creating a great business in an unsalesy manner, get inspiration and motivation?I have created the UnSalesperson Community!
