What does your face show?

I'm guilty. When you receive as many emails as we Realtors do, and as many blog posts that we try to answer to or learn from, I'm guilty, but maybe you do it too.

I have just come from 707 emails because I was 'out of pocket' for a week and WOW !!! When you're trying to catch-up, I confess that I first look at the title of the blog, and if it interest me, I click on it. But, the 2nd thing that I do, is look at the face of the person that wrote it. Hmmmm...No, I'm not going for the best looking, cutest title, not at all. What I am looking for in that face is genuineness, humility, respect, approachability. Life has a way of hardening us from hard times or a way of softening us from hard blows. Those are the faces that I want to 'approach'. The soft ones. Those that at least look like they understand.

I don't know what you see in my face and I can't look critically at myself to be objective, but I know what I see in your faces, at least most of you. Body language is one thing, but a photo? If I were a client looking for an agent, that face would really matter to me. Some I would gravitate to and others, I would quickly reject. I hope my face shows an approachability, a humor and softening humility from life's hardships...or goodness. I also hope it shows that I am ready, willing and able to laugh...a genuineness. And maybe if I don't yet know how to use widgets, that I do listen to what you are saying, and I do care.
