Читать книгу From Homemaker to Breadwinner - Myra Ph.D Nourmand - Страница 10

I love children. My kids—Nicole, Howard, and Michael—are the three biggest blessings in my life. And now that they have children of their own, I once again have little ones running around the house. If I had to sum up in one word what being a mother and grandmother has taught me, it would be PATIENCE.

Raising three children has taught me how to take care of my clients who are parents of little ones. For example, if I’m driving a client to a listing and she has children, I know how to prepare. As a mother myself, I understand how distracting children can be. As a real estate broker, I realize how important it is that my client is able to commit her full attention to what could be her future home. So before the meeting, I stock my purse with crayons, coloring books, and small refreshments like cheese, crackers, and fruit.

It always warms my heart when my clients’ children see me and say something like, “Hi Myra, do you have any treats for me?” As you can imagine, many of these kids have every type of toy and food under the sun. But they still look forward to receiving a simple surprise. Once we arrive at the listing, the children are already occupied with a coloring book or some crackers, and their parents are able to focus on finding their home.
