π‘ MY WORST CLIENT EVER... WAS ALSO ONE OF MY BEST. π
I'll never forget what he told me when we first met.
"Ryan, I'm going to be difficult. I know it."
He wasn't kidding.
Demanding. Hardheaded. Opinionated.
The man lived up to the hype. π
I'm pretty sure there were a few occasions when I needed a shot of vodka before picking up his phone calls. π₯
BUT HERE'S THE TWIST...
He was also one of my most LOYAL clients.
We did multiple transactions together. He referred other clients. And despite all the headaches, we developed a tremendous amount of mutual respect.
In real estate, we love becoming friends with our clients. And often, that's exactly what happens. But sometimes, it's simply a professional relationship. You hire us to do a job. We do it well. We respect each other. And everybody wins.
You don't have to be my best friend for me to be your best broker.
And if you're difficult? Well... I've had practice. π
