There is no Designation for Integrity

JL Boney, III Columbia, SC Real Estate (Russell and Jeffcoat) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:43:05 -0600

We as real estate professionals have a wide variety of designations at our disposal. Anything from Graduates of the Realtor Institute, to Certified Residential Specialists, to Certified Green Home Specialists. Any of these designations can certainly prove that you have taken the time to go beyond the average training to receive greater education in your field.

But there is now designation for integrity, and all the letters in the world following your name will be useless with out it. We as Realtors have a code of ethics and at the very least claim to hold ourselves to a higher standard of practice by becoming a Realtor rather than just an agent. But even the code of ethics itself can sometimes remain open for interpretation and doesn't ensure that even a Realtor is truly acting in the very best interests of their clients.

There are no classes available that will teach you morality. There are no seminars that will show you how to do the right thing where your clients are concerned. This is simple though, you just have to remember the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Regardless of how you justify your stance on a given situation, every legally sane human on the planet knows the difference between right and wrong.

You know when you are acting in the best interest of your clients to protect them and put them first. After working with you for a short period of time, they will know whether or not you are working for them or yourself as well. Always put your clients needs first. It's the best way to truly show them that they are receiving the representation that they deserve. You might not get letters next to your name for doing it, but you will get something just as important. Happy Client!

Whether You're a Tortoise or a Hare, You Have to Pick up the Pace These Days

JL Boney, III Columbia, SC Real Estate (Russell and Jeffcoat) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 23:16:00 -0600

In the battle of the Tortoise and the Hare, slow and steady won the race. But these days I don't know how well the tortoise would do in the business of real estate.

Consumers are demanding ever faster results and have become far too used to lighting fast answers right at their fingertips. While you can get a moment to catch your breath once and a while, when you have something that needs to be done, my advice is to get it done as quick as possible.

When your clients make a request, make it happen as soon as you can. When someone makes an online inquiry, get them the information they want as soon as you can and follow up. Speed has become the name of the game when people want answers. And as much as I love the Internet and use it as a tool to my advantage, in all honesty it's only making things worse where required speed is concerned.

You Have to Get Over Yourself Sometimes

JL Boney, III Columbia, SC Real Estate (Russell and Jeffcoat) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 22:52:13 -0600

You have to remember while in the process of helping your clients, that you are there to do just that. You are here to help. They are not here to make you your next commission, you are here to help them either sell or buy a home.

I have seen far too many agents put their needs and wants above the needs of their clients. This is a fatal mistake for both the agent and the consumer involved in the situation. The second you put your own feelings above those of your client, you are no longer effectively representing them, in fact, you're not really representing them at all. You're representing yourself.

Don't get me wrong, no one starts a business to lose money. We are all in this business in the hopes that we will make a living and hopefully a good living at that. How ever, your clients can't suffer for those aspirations.

There will be situations where you may have to try and protect a client from themselves. For example when a seller wants to price their home above market value. It's your job to dispense the correct advice and tell them in what price range they can truly expect their house to sell. There can be any number of these same types of situations where have to do your best to pull your clients back in line with where they need to be in the process.

However, there is no excuse for your client needing protection for you. You are here to provide protection, not to make it a necessity. The first rule of thumb in my opinion for any relationship is to get over yourself. If you think about yourself and only yourself, any relationship is doomed from the start, be it business or personal. You have to consider the fact that now every decision you make affects more than just yourself and you have to consider how it will affect the other person.

So do your clients a favor, get over yourself.

If You Don't Take Some Risks...It's Hard to Get the Rewards

JL Boney, III Columbia, SC Real Estate (Russell and Jeffcoat) — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:46:12 -0600

I don't know a single person that has started any business with failing as a large part of their plan. In fact, everyone who has ever started any business has planned the exact opposite. They have planned to succeed and most of them started out with the hopes that they and their business would be wildly successful.

Unfortunately not all of them are and in the greater scheme of things you are more likely to fall flat on your face than you are to become the next great success story. However, if you fear laying it on the line and throwing all your chips on the table, then chances are you'll never see that wild success that you dream of. At some point you will have to truly take a leap of faith and stop holding back. You have to admire the all or nothing people that have no fear of throwing away the training wheels and running headfirst into the fight.

Some of the most successful people I have ever known were also some of the largest risk takers I had ever met. In no way, shape, or form do I believe this was by coincidence. If you want to be successful in this life you have to be willing to take the risks that will help you get to where you want to be. Those who create great success usually only do so because they were willing to risk a great failure in the process.

Not everything you try will work out for you, but chances are you will never know what would or would not work until you are willing to try. Yes, you could fall flat on your face, but you did that much more than you remember when you were learning to walk. You could fall flat, or you could achieve something great, but until you are willing to take the risk, you will never know. And isn't the curiosity killing you?

You Can't Buy Low and Sell High at the Same Time

JL Boney, III Columbia, SC Real Estate (Russell and Jeffcoat) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:49:59 -0600

Like everyone else in the world, I too wish I could have it all. The truth of the matter is that it just doesn't work that way most of the time. So if you are planning on selling your current home and buying new home, you have to be aware of the fact that you can't buy low and sell high at the same time.

If you are planning to put your home on the market in the hopes of buying a larger home at a reduced price,you have to be willing to accept that the house you sell will be at a reduced price as well. It's just way things work and if you think about it for a moment then it makes perfect sense.

The good news is that it usually balances out pretty well. In Columbia, SC the high end market is the market that's slow and has the most reductions. So what you give up in the sell of your current house you more than make up in the purchase of your new home. You may have to sell your house for $5,000 less, but you can get a new home for $20,000 less than you would have been able to at the height of the market.

The best thing to do is take a close look at the market, price your house right, and do the math. You may give up a little on one, but you can really gain on the other.

Congress.....Leave My Music Alone!!!!

JL Boney, III Columbia, SC Real Estate (Russell and Jeffcoat) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:22:16 -0600

It's rare that you will find me not listening to music. The fact of the matter is that as long as I can remember I have loved all kinds. I even play guitar myself, mostly oldies like Bob Dylan, but I also dabble in a little more modern tunes.

Few of us can say that we haven't been touched by the gift of music in one way or another in our lives. Music can move us in so many ways and evoke thoughts and emotions like few other forms of art.

Almost everyone has a favorite radio station, and if are like me, that station is local. Mine is WXRY right here in downtown Columbia, SC. They play a mix of music, but mostly Alternative and that appeals to me.

Now Congress has been nice enough to propose a radio performance tax that would tax radio stations for playing music. This proposed tax would be direct attack on the finances of local radio stations my favorite and I'm not sure how the little guys would manage to stay afloat should this Bill pass Congress.

What do I suggest, leave the music alone and let it be free my friends. For years radio stations have played music for free much to the delight of listeners and music fans from all walks of life. And now I am threatened with static from my speakers as a result of the bankruptcy of those that bestow these musical miracles upon us.

To find out more to get involved, Please visit www.noperformancetax.org and find out how you can tell Congress to leave my music alone.
