Relocate to Wisconsin : Were You Raised ALL WRONG to be Irresponsible ?

                                    Decades ago, I was talking with a family friend who was a psychologist. I don't remember what I was whining about not wanting to do but she said something to me that has always stuck with me.

         "Sally, you were raised all wrong to

                     be irresponsible."

             Whenever I feel the "I don't Wannas" creeping up....I remember her sage words.

      Soooo..as an agent...return those phone calls promptly, give good showing reports that actually help the agent AND the seller...turn in paper work on a timely basis...review the position of your listings in the market...Call your sphere, mail your sphere, visit your sphere...Go beyond continuing education and learn new skills that will set you apart from the "pack." Remember the golden rule and the ethics code....Do onto others....and that does NOT mean, BEFORE they do it to you !

       As a buyer or seller...if you have to cancel an appointment, please give the agent, buyers, sellers as much time as possible, be on time for appointments you have, Sellers...the market sets the price..look objectively at the SOLD numbers...not the price you "have to have", want, need to pay bills, get the down payment for the next house, etc. Buyers....if an agent has taken time with you...sent you listings, shown you houses...be honest, if this is someone you can work with...show them courtesey by being on time and giving honest evaluations of the homes you see...be sure you have been to a reputable lender...ask your agent for recommendations if you are unsure who to call. If you do not feel comfortable working with an agent...tell them immediately...be honest. Work with one agent...he/she has a lot of expenses and expertise to share with you and deserves your loyalty.

    Were you raised all wrong to be irresponsible ?      Do your actions reflect your upbringing ?
