Sn1 Ep 03: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly – Part 1 – The Good

In today’s episode, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly – Part 1 – The Good – I discover that there is always unprecedented goodness in humanity when I make connections that lead to enduring relationships in an industry fraught with human corruption, on both the divides of a real estate transaction.

The role of a property agent is to get two parties safely across a bridge that is often founded on conflicting personalities, competing interests and tugs of war between emotions that often run counter to each other. It expends a lot of mental energy trying to work through people’s backgrounds, perceptions, opinions, attitudes, you name it!

Only on rare occasions do you find a way to smooth things over as if none of it had anything to do with you. When everything falls into place at the right time, when the characters are all focused on the goal and nothing else, it is easy to get across that rickety bridge with little to no friction!

They say that lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place. However, navigating through two transactions that were both somehow intertwined by the same characters and managing to do so at a time when the market was tepid felt like a win. Indeed, it was a win for all involved. Which is also an infrequent outcome. It’s always good to share positive stories and to feel like even in adversity, good can come out.

I also share some of the lessons that this experience taught me – not just lessons I gleaned from the characters in the story, but also about myself. Hopefully, it is an encouragement to keep pressing forward, to keep a positive attitude even in the face of many discouragements, and to be found doing our best work.
