The Number One Real Estate Agent in Town

You know there are a bunch of those in Tucson.   Really?   How can there be more than one number 1 agent?

Depends on what they are Number One at.

  • Number One Listing Agent
  • Number One Buyers Agent
  • Number One Production Agent
  • Number One Agent at a particular Brokerage
  • Number One Agent for listing Expired listings
  • Number One . . .

See what I mean.

And you want the Number one Agent, don’t you?   Admit it, it’s okay.   But think about it.

You might want to think about working with a Number 1 Agent

I’ve learned a lot about the business of real estate in the almost 10 years I’ve been involved with it.   One thing I know from my personal experience I don’t ever want to work with the number one in most businesses.   Why?

Don’t Equate Number one with Best

I know a lot of people that seem to equate someone being number one with being the best.   In somethings that might be true, but in more than I can count it isn’t.   Most people I know that are Number one at something are focused on themselves.   They like being Number One, they are driven by it and work very hard to keep that “status”.   It is often about them, their goals, their production, their numbers, their ranking; They are the focus.

Don’t think that you really get to work with the Number One

Most Number Ones work with very few people themselves.   They are promoting and selling themselves.   Their team or someone on that team is who you will be working with in the process.   And they report to Number One, not you.

Being Number One and Saying You are Number One

There is a story about a town that gave an award to one year to “The Humblest Man in Town”   It was quite an honor, and when they gave him the pin everyone applauded the selection.   But a week later the town council took back the award when the man wore the pin everywhere he went.

Being Number One is one thing, telling every one you are number one is something else.

What it means to be Number One and why we never aspire for it

We will never be Number One at any of the things listed at the top.   We tell too many people they shouldn’t list their home right now.   We talk too many buyers out of purchases they shouldn’t make, we don’t push people to buy or sell.   We work hard at what we do, but at the end of the day it isn’t about the money we make or the position we have in town, or the power we have as the number one agent.   At the end of the day it is how many people we helped buy or sell property they will turn into a new home, a new investment or free them to move on with their lives as they find their next new home.

We always put our clients, buyers, seller, investors interests first.   It costs us time and money and position and maybe a little power.   But it brings us a lot of personal gratification to have helped make a life journey smoother because we were there to help navigate the difficult process of buying and selling a house.

There are more obstacles in the Tucson real estate purchase process today than at any time since we started working in real estate.   But we are here to help navigate through the process.

Your best interest our Our highest priority.   That is our Number One.
