Here's a tough question, my friends. Are you truly listening to your clients? Or are you just hearing them? Because there's a world of difference. One builds trust and connection. The other gets you nodding along, missing what really matters.
Welcome back to Realty Chatter Daily. Quick wins for realtors. I'm your host, Gary McGowan. And today we're diving into a skill that's so simple, it's often overlooked. The art of listening. I'm not talking about hearing keywords like three bedrooms or finished basement. I'm talking about listening to what's beneath the words, to what your clients really need and value. Here's a story that taught me the lesson the hard way. I once worked with a couple who seemed like they were
Totally on different pages, she kept saying she wanted a home that felt bright and happy, and he was laser focused on a basement for his ping pong table. At first I thought, well, this will be fun. But then I decided to dig deeper. I asked, what does bright and happy mean to you? She said it reminded her of her grandmother's sun-filled kitchen where the whole family would gather. And for him, the ping pong table wasn't just a game.
It was how he connected with his brothers every weekend. Suddenly, I wasn't just finding them a house. I was finding them a home that honored their story. And that's exactly what we did. Today's quick win. The next time you're with a client, don't just gather the basics, ask deeper questions and really listen. Try what's one thing in your next home that's non-negotiable and why does it matter to you? And then stay quiet.
them fill the space and share their why, you'll be amazed at what you uncover. Here's the insight. Listening isn't just about collecting facts. It's about understanding feelings. And when clients feel seen, heard and understood, they trust you more. That trust is what keeps them loyal, not just for this deal, but for the next one and the one after that. And if you're worried about awkward silences, don't be.
Those moments of quiet are often where the real answers live. Embrace them. They're your secret weapon. So my friends, let's make today about listening deeply. Take one client, ask a thoughtful question and tune into more than just their words. You'll not only find the right home, you'll find a client for life. And as always, stay motivated, keep laughing and keep thriving through real connections.
