Secret Agents: Ashtrays, Fax Machines, and Client Crushes

This video was first posted on Real Estate Therapy last year, yet its advice is evergreen. We’re delighted to bring it back on the Kindred SF Homes blog so a new audience can enjoy it.

The inevitable tight-knit bond between Realtors and their clients can be as cozy as a cashmere sweater. No wonder agents find themselves crushing on their buyers and sellers (and vice versa)! Cynthia Cummins and guest Janet Krahling go way back to share some juicy real estate stories and talk about the client crush, the agent crush, and why nobody loves you like your Realtor does.

🎯 Episode Highlights:

• Not so long ago, all a new real estate agent needed to get started was a phone, an ashtray and a fat phone book.

• Representing buyers is like falling headlong into an instant obsessive romance.

• Realtors have a special affection for other Realtors – because they understand. Sometimes this leads to romantic involvements.

• Realtors often have a prominent place at past clients’ wisdom tables.

• Sports team paraphernalia may not be your best staging decor.

• Beware “commission breath.”

• Realtors’ love for their clients can be fierce and protective.
