That is a quote that my grandmother, who I admired and respected, told me when I was in junior high school. She was very busy, but always did a great job with everything she did.
I recently sold a house that I had listed and my clients mentioned to Kathy, my closing coordinator, that “Several people had recommended James, but they didn’t want to call him at first because they knew he was so busy that he wouldn’t have time for their $500,000 home.” My clients told Kathy how blown away they were with our service, how promptly we returned phone calls, how we stayed on top of every detail and how each member of my staff was so efficient. They went on to say that they would gladly refer James Wedgeworth & Associates to anybody who is interested in real estate on Hilton Head.

When Kathy was telling me this story, it made me think of what my grandmother said. It seems like to me that the people who get things done, are the people who are most efficient. Non-productive people always make excuses for not getting around to tasks they were suppose to be doing. I think my grandmother was right. That is just one of those statements that always turns out to be true. It is true in real estate and in every other business!
