Real estate agents can choose which clients to work with. If a client isn't the right fit, refer them to another trusted agent instead of forcing a bad match. Prioritizing the client's outcome over the sale protects everyone and keeps professional relationships intact.
Whether or not you realize it, you do have choice when you run a real estate business as to the kinds of personalities and attitudes that you're willing to put up with. Some people just don't gee and haw with each other, and that's okay, because when we have such a competitive business, there is literally a buck for every saddle. And so if you know a lot of your great colleagues and you're just really having conflict with somebody, you should be able to say to them, I feel your needs aren't being met by me. However, I do have a professional who can help you. And then you guide the consumer to a place where they will be happiest, because our goal has always got to be, y'all, that we are focused on the outcome for the consumer and the protection of the consumer, which sometimes comes from them being connected to a different professional than yourself.
