Realtors spend a lot of time comparing houses in order to come up with the ideal price position for their Seller clients. When representing Buyers, it takes comparing one house to another to help determine which property satisfies the wants, needs, and dreams of the client.
Lenders compare loan products for their clients, seeking the best rates and costs.
Home inspectors compare a home’s systems and conditions to standards and testing expectations.
It’s even fair to say that any professional salesperson will leverage advertising, marketing, and word of mouth to help compare their products, services, and results to earn business.
Comparison is the thief of joy
Theodore Roosevelt
But when it comes to worrying about other people in your office, company, or industry, it’s time to stop comparing yourself to anyone and just be you.
No one else is going to say it like you. No one is going to do it like you. No one else has your sense of humor, passion, drive, and desire.
There are 1.59 million members of the National Association of REALTORS, a little more than 333 million people in the United States, and the world is approaching 8 billion people…but there is just one you.
Go out there and build relationships, solve problems, and have fun.
Just be sure to do it your way.
