A lot of real estate salespeople use industry-generated awards, selected client references, and membership of high echelon groups to promote themselves to prospective clients. That is something I have always resisted. If I have felt a need to bolster my self-esteem or add confidence to my dealing with a task in hand, I have considered some of my achievements and the benefits for my clients. Fortunately most of my clients have valued that approach and come back to me.

I am grateful for the feedback I have received over the years and for the letters of reference that I have been given. I have held them privately for some time. In developing this website I found several comments that were appropriate to points I was trying to make. I trust nobody takes offence at those parts being used in this manner.

I have placed some weight on the sale termed “putting it all together” and also the items concerning the Wellington Rudolf Steiner School. It is quite significant that this website has been designed and constructed for me by one of the clients in the sale. It is also quite significant to me that I enjoy a rapport with the former students and hear of their successes.

When I work with a prospective client for the first time and sense the need for the likes of references the most honest response is to identify the last 3 or 4 clients and clear the way for them to make contact. In special cases such as selling discretely, new homes selling in the course of construction, or properties with problems it is more appropriate to identify particular referees.

Don’t hesitate to ask if you require references.
