How Basketball Officiating has taught me "Effective Communication" & how I use it in Real Estate

Basketball Officiating & Real Estate

How They Go Hand-in-Hand!

I thought I'd write this little blurb about how Basketball Officiating & Real Esate go Hand-in-Hand. I do both & I feel that if it weren't for my official side, I would get myself into trouble with my words. However, I've learned how to control myself when someone blasts me and how to respond. The following is what I've learned on effective communication:

1. Listen first, then respond.

2. Don't show your frustration, carry yourself with great presence

3. When responding, reply with class, authority, & calmness.

4. When dealt with problems; listen, analyze, respond

These are just four things that has helped me in my early stages of my real estate profession. I feel that if I hadn't learned these qualities and how to communicate effectively, I would be run out of the business by my mouth. Now, I've learned to stay calm, in charge, & always remain classy.

If you have any questions/comments, please feel free to get back with me!
