I had a business (brainstorming) meeting this morning (it was great as always) as I left I thought to myself, this business is truly about relationships (not that I didn't know that already, but this morning just reaffirmed it). I thought to myself, it doesn't matter whether they are a client, fellow Realtor or service professional. It's all about developing the connection, the relationship and trust.
I consider myself blessed with all the relationships I have developed; clients, Realtors and service professionals. When I have a client that needs a referral I feel comfortable about referring that client to any one of the professionals I know. The best compliment I received, was when a client said to me, " Maria, you surround yourself with a great group of professionals, thank you for everything"
I look forward to developing those same types of relationships here at our Active Rain community.
I believe that there is a reason why certain people come into our lives, and I believe that if we stay true to ourselves, treat people the way we would want to be treated, we can then build a network of people who enrich our lives, and our businesses, and whose lives and businesses we enrich in turn.
Here's to great relationships!

OK - hook me up to be a POSITIVE connection in your relationship sphere! I think there's gotta be some N. IL folks who need a place up in my "neck of the woods". Let's do some business and be friends too.
