Some really great Real Estate agents kind of fly under the radar. Jim Pettigrew at RE Max is one who quietly does his work, but is one of the best resources you could ever have working for you. I’m making a distinction here because Jim did have bill boards of himself early on in his career.
Liz Talley did her job well, and built a reputation as a top Real Estate professional. Some how she skipped over the big arm motions many Real Estate sales people go through to get noticed. I’ll even say that since the 1980s some time, she has always been a top producer, a force to be envied in Real Estate circles.
Ballard, at that time, was an older population who lived in small houses kind of squished together. It was a heavily Scandinavian neighborhood. Fishing was a way of life until the 1960s. The point I’m making is that it was a hard neighborhood to tackle. Being a kid in the business didn’t help. What it took was being really, really good at finding property, knowing property, and being extremely honest.
Honesty is what sets Liz Talley apart from other Real Estate sales people. It’s a simple statement of fact that answering questions, and being knowledgeable alludes some people in the Real Estate business. When you ask Liz a question she gives you an honest answer, simple straight forward, just the facts. She stays focused on the facts, and presents in a coherent manner. It built trust in one of the most hard headed communities you could work.
Referral was how you met Liz, and at the time, not too many people could figure out the attraction. Like I said, it’s different than the standard sales pitch approach.
