I enjoy attending continuing education and networking meetings within the real estate industry. I always come away with some new tips and tricks as well some renewed positive energy.

At a recent Women’s Council of REALTORS meeting in California, there was a dynamic speaker addressing the traits of leadership. He quoted John Maxwell, author, from his bestselling book The 21 Indispensable Qualities of Leadership. When he listed the qualities of a good leader, it seemed to me that they were also the necessary qualities of a good real estate agent. Here is the list. The definitions are fairly self explanatory.

Here is the list. The definitions are fairly self explanatory.
Character
Charisma
Commitment
Communication
Competence
Courage
Discernment
Focus
Generosity
Initiative
Listening
Positive Attitude
Passion
Problem Solving
Relationships
Responsibility
Security
Self Discipline
Servanthood (Put others first)

You can look at this list and see why each and every quality is important in selecting your real estate agent, preferably a REALTOR®. If there is something I missed, by all means let me know. My goal is to possess each of these traits throughout my transactions in order to better serve my clients, and of course their friends and family. I hope I can serve you in some way as well.
