Over the last couple of weeks I have been working on my Tuesdays in Templeton facebook page and also the corresponding blog and meeting with business owners, people from around town, asking questions about our history and hearing some great stories. I have many more people to meet and questions to ask, but I am on my way and very excited about developing these relationships with our local historians, businesses and neighbors.
Relationship building takes time and is so rewarding and eventually you come to call them friends. Isn't it great when you go to your local coffee shop and you don't have to tell them what you want~they just know? Isn't it nice when when you go to the local bank and you are a name and not a number? I bet you can think of other places you like to go to because you feel great when they greet you and care for your needs. I am certain those relationships did not come over night~it takes time to build that kind of rapport and trust. I am so happy when I can walk into my coffee shop and they know exactly what I need and I start my morning off right! How about when I go the bank and they help me with not just my bank deposit but refer other services I am looking for and I trust in that. These things have come to mean alot to me because of my job as a Realtor and how I want my clients to feel when they choose me to help them find or sell their home. How I want to develop that relationship over time and not in just a few minute phone conversation with such a large investment.
