Trust Is Everything
I've always been a trusting person. Unless my instincts kick in telling me not to trust someone, I trust until I'm given a reason not to. I also trust and listen to that inner voice that is there to protect me.
But, when someone betrays my trust, it will be a very long time for me to trust them again if ever.
When someone hires me to help them sell and/or buy a home, they obviously trust me. It's a blessing to be trusted by a stranger. I mean, I'm handling their largest assets and here I am, a stranger to them, and they trust me from the get-go 100%. How amazing is that?!?! My job is to take great care of my clients and customers and I would never break that trust we have between each other.
I trust every agent that is in my office. I have never been given a reason not to. Are there any agents outside my office that I do not trust? Yes and only one. That is pretty good considering there are a lot of agents in my area so not trusting one says a lot about the other agents that I do trust. The majority of agents are good, kind, caring, very hardworking and can be trusted.
Six years ago, a friend of mine was identity thieved by a long time mutual friend. $25,000 was stolen by credit cards my friend never opened. I had to help her file police reports on four cards and in about a year, it was all cleared up and off of her credit report with all three credit bureaus. Her and I were both devastated that this other friend could do this! This other "friend" denied, denied, denied. So heartbreaking to say the least. We both felt "cheated" on. Cried every day for months. Never getting an answer to "why" was frustrating. Needless to say, this friend is gone from both of our lives. Even if this person wasn't out of the picture, I could never trust them again. Not being able to trust someone and feeling on guard is not a good feeling at all.
At the end of the day, as long as I am trusted and I can trust back, it's all good.
