Communication Skills in Real Estate

6/6/2019

Effective communication is the key to a satisfying real estate purchase.

Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines communication as “a process by which information is exchanged between individuals.” Without doubt, communication is a complex blend of words, body language, tone and timing.

Effective communication is the key to a satisfying real estate purchase. It is one of the most important skill sets of a realtor to continue to master. When we as realtors working with clients are able to effectively communicate, any situation can be better handled. That’s why it is so important that we develop outstanding communication skills by knowing what to say, how to say it and when to say it.

"Effective communication in a real estate transaction requires discipline and patience."

We sometimes believe that we know what another person is thinking, but such an assumption can hinder effective communication. Effective “clear” communication requires both asking questions and listening to what is being said and not said.

If we seek to clear up a misunderstanding, we need to choose our words carefully, reminding ourselves that there is an appropriate time for everything.

It is better to prepare to communicate by seeking facts and insight into the particular transaction. Sharing of opinions is very important. But what is needed to be effective in our communication is to listen more than talking. Listening requires our engaging with the other person, seeking to understand. Active listening demonstrates that you honor the other person enough to consider what they are sharing with you.
As we apply these principles challenges are less frequent.

Styles of communication can be very different from person to person, transaction to transaction. But by applying the influencing principles of wisdom we have learned through years of working with people we can provide a harmonious transaction.

Nice Trip to Wine Country

5/14/2019

Coppola Winery - in Sonoma

Really nice trip to Somoa and Napa with GREAT friends. My first trip to Napa Valley. We started our trip at the Presidio in San Francisco. I highly recommend staying here when in San Francisco. We were very blessed to have had a awesome guide for this trip to wine country and he set up some of the most wonderful tastings. We able to stayed at the Madrona Manor in Healdsburg and would do it again. Napa and Sonoma.

The weather is also beautiful this time of year and there are fewer crowds than in the peak summer months.
My advice would be to make reservations at the vineyards you want to visit because they can get super crowded during the peak times. I strongly recommend taking advantage of the more premium and private tastings to have a better experience – its worth it. The wineries enjoy letting you taste many of their other higher end wines. All the wineries we visited were exceptional, unique, and the wines very easy to drink. What we learned; enjoy the wine experience and it is not a rush to see how many wines you can taste, it is about experiencing the joy of wine.

We have a seat reserved and waiting for you at the Beach

3/20/2019

We have a seat reserved and waiting for you at the Beach!! Come on down...sit a spell. Take a load off. Escape life's hustle and bustle.

Words are strong…and images are even stronger. The radiant beauty of the Emerald Coast can take even the seasoned beach-lover’s breath away. With spring on its way, there is a new shade of splendor that settles amongst the landscape. Warm days, cool evenings, clear night skies, and shells washing ashore…the local beaches play hostess to days of reflection and relaxation. To set your day-dreams of sand and surf in motion. Can you feel the damp sand under your feet as you stroll down the shoreline?

A walk on the beach has to be one of the most relaxing and wonderful things to do on the planet.

The sequel of your children's laughter, as they brave the waves of gulf crashing on beach, is a magical sound. Even an adult's inner child awakens at the sight of surf and sand! Raise your hand if you just want to be at the beach?! Most people would take a day at the beach over a day at the office anytime. And once you've had a taste of our majestic shore, you will be coming back for more!

A Walk on the Beach

3/12/2019

Sometimes a walk on the beach is what you need.

Did you know that walking barefoot on the beach is good for your health?? It is!

Not only do you burn more calories walking in sand versus walking on a hard surface, but you are also neutralizing free radicals in your body. Talk about a lot of bang for your buck! Whether you choose to go barefooted or slip on your favorite sneakers, walking on the beach is great exercise for any fitness level. From a leisurely stroll to a hard-core, heart-pumping power walk....you will love stretching your legs at the beach. Be sure to carry a bag on your walk...and you can collect seashells as you go. After all, each time you bend over...you are working your core and burning more calories! No matter which way you choose to sweat in the sand, you won't be able to ask for a better workout venue than our sugar white beaches.

Remember to check the weather, so you can dress appropriately. Be sure to always drink plenty of water so that you stay well hydrated. And don't forget the sunscreen!!
