I listed a horse farm in PG County MD a while ago. A buyer asked the seller if their agent (me) was experienced, a sly way of suggesting that the price was high.
My seller said, "Yes. Lenn has more real estate knowledge than all the rest of the agents in this area together."
I was, to say the least, pleased.

It may not seem like a compliment to some people but I have been told numerous times that I am honest to a fault. I personally take it as a compliment as I have helped buyers avoid making make purchase decisions by sharing everything I know that might have an impact on their decision to purchase a particular home or not.

Two that come to mind. When I was single I had a roommate. Someone visited the apartment and commented on the large volumne of books I had. My roommate said, "Not only that, but he has read most of them too."
My two older teenage sons were down on dad. Apparently my late Brother-in-law took them aside and pointed out how I "Make Things Happen" for them. How hard I work to give them opprotunities. He praised me as a father to the extreme.
In real estate, there are those that have recognized my integrity and that has been my biggest selling point.

Chris, the best complement I ever received was after leaving from a closing. The seller's told me they wished they had used me as their agent. I represented the buyer.

best compliment ever.. my mother and father in law would complement me at how good I was. This was amazing because my own family never had anything good to say. It was nice to finally be recognized and supported by someone who cared. This changed my whole perspective in life, it only took two caring people. I have dedicated my life to doing the same now to others.

We helped Kim buy a home. She was so pleased with us, she sent us to her monther. Her mother was so pleased with us, she sent us to HER mother. Her mother was so pleased with us, she sent us to her other grandaughter.
To me, that says it all.

A buyer said they spoke to several agents and had questions. I was the only agent to answered the questions. I also sent them an article with details to follow up with my answers. They said I am the agent they are working with because I gave great customer service.

There's the complement I needed and there's the compliment that acknowledges.
The greatest professional compliment sounded like, "You made us feel like we were the only clients you had to work with, even though we knew this was far from the truth." Pro's make it look easy.
The one I needed to hear most was, "You're the 'IDEA MAN!" Presented formally with card(below) and all. From time to time, all that other stuff we do that occurs beyond the observation of the public and our clients is recognized.
Even when idea's don't get traction, I need to keep encouraging myself, "As long as the ideas keep coming, the race is not over."

"Anna helped me buy a home. If she can make it possible for me, she can help anyone!" That is what she was saying to a co-worker. I over-heard her working her second shift job at the bakery while I was waiting for my bread.

Naturally, the highest compliment is when a client refers us to someone they know. However, I received a request this morning from a client that I took as a huge compliment! We are in the process of listing a property for an older gentleman who is going through a divorce. The terms of the prenuptial agreement are a bit confusing and are affecting the timing for putting the house on the market. The client called and asked if I would accompany him to an appointment with his attorney so that we would all be on the same page. I feel honored that he trusts me enough to do this with him.

I had worked with a family that had two very small children. The older child had just turned two. The younger child was 3 mos. A few months after we closed the mother wrote me a thank you note. She said her older son still asks if we are going to see Miss Mary everytime they buckled him into the car. I had made the whole buying experience so stress free the two year old still wanted to come "play" with me. She was dreading buying a home with two babies in tow but I made it fun for her,

Best compliment: I repped a seller on the sale of his home. When the buyer wanted to sell it a few years later, he called me. Said I ran circles around his agent and did a good job of protecting both parties when we could have really taken advantage of the buyer due to his agents inexperience.

A few things come to mind: My husband who was a top agent when we met taught me the business ... and I ended up becoming the top agent in our county ... probably every week I hear my husband on the phone saying, "you never find a more honest and hardworking agent than Diana" -- and I've gotten numerous calls that came to me because they were told "if you want the best agent who will be honest and get the job done there is no one else to call but Diana. Another thought is the many times I've had the children of my clients grow up and use me because they said their parents said I was the best agent in town. The most recent complement came this week when I received a call from a top agent in town who asked me if I could take care of her son because she was not feeling well and wanted her son to be well taken care of. Coming from a competitor in my business (she could have chosen from 50 agents in her own office!) Amazing! In summary ... I give God all the Glory for the opportunity to serve my community and am thankful that He continues to open doors of opportunity to me every day!

Whenever a previous Seller or Buyer calls me to sell their home again, and this has happen several times in my career.
Whenever a Buyer keeps coming back for me to serve them over and over again.
Whenever a previous Client sends me a referral not looking for me to give them anything in return, simply because they know I will give their family member or friend superb customer service.
Whenever a close or extended family, a close or distant friend wants me to serve them, not caring whether I know their personal financial information, which by the way I don't really care to know, nor to remember, trust me enough to know I will keep their business confidential, trust me to serve them.
Whenever any of the above happens to me I consider these the highest compliments paid to me.

A former employer, who became a good friend, said to me early in the working relationship - "Hmm, have you worked for me the past 25 or so years but I didn't know it? How is it that you're SO in tuned to what I'm trying to accomplish here and are anticipating my next 3 steps - and they're ALREADY done!" I learned a lot from him, sadly he is no longer with us.

All compliments are wonderful and welcome, but I can think of two that are really important. One is the fact that my grown sons call me often to share their lives.
The other is when someone says "Thanks, you made my day."

When my clients know that I am helping them make the best decision possible, and they can always expect the complete truth from me.
