Real estate agent styles of doing business are like different types of music. You have the classical – the ones with the elegant websites who sell $50,000,000,000.00 homes who have elegant names like Elizabeth Harding-Vandersmilt or Roderick J. Haltmeyer. These agents are big on appointments, staging through the top design companies, knowing all the best restaurants and who married whom from which family, if, that is, the families involved are significant.
Then you have the rock-and-roll agent who bumps and grinds, pounding toward success. This guy or gal goes wide open and jams out in the selling process – these agents sing a loud and righteous tune with plenty of bass and drum action. Watch out for these guys and gals, if they get a client under their spell it’s all over.
Then there's the jazz agent, a cool agent indeed! An eclectic agent, a chameleon, a zig and zagger, zany, zopey, calm and hectic, a riffer, a player in black, white - hell, purple if the moon is right, a downtown mixer and a uptown lover, this agent is off-the-cuff but don’t be fooled, there’s method to the madness, reason in every riff.
Then there’s the country music agent, a down-home type who plays mental possum but is sharp as a tack. This agent says Yes Ma’am and Yes Sir and humbly says Oh, it was nothin’ to the client’s praise at the closing table and discreetly puts the commission check in a suede jacket, all the while smiling big and spinning a yarn. This agent is about real life, real people and real deals.
Okay, I’m tired, you all can add more.
