Missed Opportunities???
Yesterday I was out running errands and later that evening attended a 50th Birthday Party. It turned out to be an eye opening day. The first stop was to BJ's Wholesale. While waiting on line to gas my SUV a fellow in the next lane asked me if I was Denise? He then identified himself as Chuck, one of my Grammar School classmates. Although we had posted a couple of times to each other on facebook we hadn't seen each other since 1976............... Wow!!! How did he recognize me? In the few moments we got to chat he had mentioned that he recently bought a home in a bordering neighborhood. I know I had mentioned I was a Licensed Real Estate Agent and had mentioned if he ever needed any help I would of course be happy to assist him - he hadn't thought of me.....
As I shopped inside I then bumped into a Very Successful Agent from my office. I couldn't help but think "what a coincidence".
Later that evening at the 50th Party I saw someone I had worked with in the 90's in Brooklyn. Jim and I had also crossed paths 6 years prior at a different party thrown by our common acquaintance. We then caught up on where our lives had taken us as we did again last evening. In speaking with his wife Debbie she inquired about becoming licensed in Real Estate. I stated I worked in Babylon at which time she mentioned her Mother just bought a home in Babylon and Sold a House in Brooklyn. They wished they had thought of me.................
Jim started telling me about his new career at Republic Airport which is about 3 miles from my home. I quickly asked if he new Liz ( a previous Buyer Client of mine who I knew also worked at Republic Airport). Turns out Liz is his "New Boss" Small World isn't it? As we chatted he told me they had lots in common as Liz had moved up to Long Island from an area of Florida that Jim frequented. He also let me know Liz had just sold her home there...........
What are the odds of having this day filled with these coincidences? One could say it was filled with Lost Opportunities.............. I see it as a reminder of how as a Realtor your business is always around you presenting opportunities. It is up to me to make the most out of putting myself out in front and reminding everyone I know just what I can do for them as a Licensed Sales Person with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. The Opportunities are Limitless!
I am looking forward to next weeks lunch with Jim & Liz and all the other opportunities heading my way!
