You work with your real estate clients for months on end, and every conversation and appointment is an opportunity to learn. Their daughter loves dance class. Dad is a total movie buff. The most precious resource in this family isn’t money but time. They love anything lake-themed.

These little slices of life shared between agent and client build rapport and are also valuable intel if you listen, and most importantly, remember — because your thoughtfulness just might be the reason you’re remembered, too.
