The January 2012 ActiveRain challenge asked a simple question... How do your feelings about trust impact your business or your life?
Trust is defined as "firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person." In life trust should be a normal expectation.
In real estate trust should likewise be an expectation. But these are not the same levels of trust - if indeed either truly exists (cynical thought, for sure).
Blind trust is, in my opinion, the greatest level of trust - and also the most dangerous.
It is the level of trust we all seek in our personal
relationships –especially with the ones that matter most.
Roger Mucci had a good post recently on trust even when family is involved (Trust…..We all know that “curiosity killed the cat”, I had to ask……).
June Tassillo of Franklin NC wrote a post as well that touched on trust. In this case it involves the real estate business.
Trust should be a condition of doing real estate for a living. It is simple - an obligation to do the right thing all the time.
Personal pride should make this a non-issue. But, sometimes due to self interest this is not always possible (did I mean to say greed or selfishness?).
As for the question posed in the first sentence, here is my response.
In my day to day life I never say the words "Trust me." It is a given when dealing with me.
