TO YOUR CLIENTS it says that you have a career, not just a job. It tells them you are a professional who works harder and smarter to sell their home, or to find the new house they’ve dreamed about. TO YOUR COLLEAGUES it says that you’ll never be too experienced to learn something new, or too successful to share some advice. Because of that they look to you as a friend, a mentor, and a referral source who never lets them down. Provided by Margaret Schaad,
