We are dealing with human beings, truly becoming involved in their personal lives and finances. And, each and every one of them is different. Some people are open books, others are hesitant to admit when they are unable to afford what they thought they could and get embarrassed, in essence taking it out on you (the messenger) because their hopes have been dashed. I think what happens in these cases (it's happened to me, too) is that on some level, they can't face you, so they basically fire you. They know that new Realtor won't know that they had thought they could purchase a whole lot more than they now can. It's tough, but not a whole lot we can do about it, except to say "next!" and move on, no matter how frustrating it is. I'm so sorry this happened to you!

A learning experience? Yes. Will something similar happen to you again? Of course. That is the nature of the business. The good news is that when you get past it and move on, something unexpected and positive will happen. I think it has to do with putting so much effort into being upset, that we cannot humanly put out that positive "aura" that allows us to be at the top of our game. Easier said than done.... you really have to work to get out of your "funk". Just some things I have figured out through the years. Hope it helps. Brian Boisson Julie,

In my 33 years in the business, I learn something with every transaction I have that affects how I function in the next transaction.

A learning experience? Yes. Will something similar happen to you again? Of course.

That is the nature of the business.

I think it has to do with putting so much effort into being upset, that we cannot humanly put out that positive “aura” that allows us to be at the top of our game.

Easier said than done…. you really have to work to get out of your “funk”.

Just some things I have figured out through the years.

Hope it helps.
