Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
One time when showing clients several homes for sale, I opened the door of the next home. The sellers forgot to take their dog with them. It was a big dog, a standard poodle to be exact. That dog came at me barking and showing teeth. I closed the front door quickly. My clients said they really wanted to see this house and that this could be "the one". I opened the door again and tried to show no fear with the dog barking; and in my calmest voice said "Hi Handsome". The dog immediately calmed down and the buyers were able to come in and see the property.
