In this blog I want to write not just about real estate information but what the happenings are in the O.C., helpful tips and tricks of this trade, what happens behind the scenes that a lot of buyers and sellers won't know and lots more. I want to be real with what I have learned in this industry and the people who are in it. A lot of people think that this industry is the "Used Car Salesman" approach, well their is definitely those kind in the business. Everyone says they have integrity and will always cover their clients back but that isn't always the case.
What is integrity? Well here is the true definition of it...
Integrity is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions. Integrity can be regarded as the opposite of hypocrisy,[1] in that it regards internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrity
Ok, with that said; I have agents ask me how can you be so honest in real estate. One just the other day said how I stay in business being so honest if you don't lie occasionally. Wow, I can't believe that actually came out of another agents mouth that I even trusted.
This is my belief; that if you stay true to yourself and your God that you will succeed in all that you do. Has I always say, "I may not be a rich real estate agents doing 10 deals a month, but I sure do sleep good at night". I know their are trustworthy real estate agents in this business, I would just suggest you really look at their testimonials and their track record. Just because they do a lot of real estate transactions doesn't necessarily mean they are the best. Just remember if you are with the agent that lists a ton of homes a month, you may just be another listing to them and will be working with everybody but that agent. I believe most sellers want to go with someone that makes them feel special and gives them personal attention like they are their only listing and will always expect honesty.
