#7 Be Discreet: Marked by exercising, or showing prudence and wise self-restraint.
The House Warming:
After the sale is over and we have been PAID comes the house warming party and the chance to Prospect your Buyer's ENTIRE Sphere of Influence. Your Client already knows that you are the GREATEST Realtor in your area (otherwise they would have gone with the other guy) and has, likely, at your suggestion...mentioned you to everyone that she/he knows.
Realtors Beware:
Be careful to discuss with your Buyer whether it is okay for you to discuss very personal details such as purchase price and/or monthly payments.
Bragging Rights?
Even though you may have gotten your Buyer deal of a lifetime, some people just are very personal/private about financial matters. In order to avoid a strained relationship, talk about this ahead of time. Most of the time the Buyers are fine with sharing the information to help you get new clients and they will respect you more for asking them in advance!

Keeping your clients confidentiality is critical. This is good advice as many agents do like to gossip.

Mark, we've been discussing starting these parties. Thanks for the tip, you make an excellent point.
Janice: This is so true in many areas of life.
Renee: Thank you. I really appreciate your support.
Fernando: Very true my friend.
John: Sometimes the office is like a little village where everyone knows whats going on. This is not always a good thing.
Laura: Some people will never get it. If people love who you are...then there will never be a need to work a room...the room will work its way to you.
