This article was first published on Real Estate Therapy and has long been one of our standout favorites. We’re delighted to bring it back on the Kindred SF Homes blog so a new audience can enjoy it.
Explore the crazy challenges new (and all) real estate agents face when opening doors to show properties. Join Lisa Riddle and Jacque Rutherfurd as they discuss this unexpected journey with Cynthia Cummins and prepare to laugh at this seldom-talked-about aspect of the Realtor job.
Episode Highlights:
• Keys are, indeed, key to any real estate transaction, yet you’ll never see a question about door opening on a real estate exam
• Keys, locks and doors are metaphors for progress in life
• Why “fun with keys” is funny but not actually fun
• There is no standard door, lock or key, so it’s nervous-making to encounter an unfamiliar door
• When you’re fumbling with a lock, everyone watching thinks you’re an idiot
• On a new listing, it’s important to develop a relationship with the door.
• Arrive early, bring extra keys and never let a door shut on you.
• Remember, “the door can smell your fear,” so it’s best to remain calm at all times.
• Story of the week: Just because the key fits, it doesn’t mean you should enter.
