Well if I don't know them before I make it a point to draw them into my inner circle of client/friends and keep them for life during and after working with them.

Not at all. We have the majority of our buyers coming from out of state and the U.S. Seller? Again, no; too many people both in the Sarasota Market and San Diego Area.

CEO of Vision Drive Realty - Coastal San Diego

I relocated to San Diego in November 2003. From 2004 through 2011 I only worked with strangers. Then in 2011 the floodgates opened and my 1st generation clients started investing, buying up, relocating and referring a lot. I started working with professional friends & repeat clients. So, it took quite a while to start over here, after having a thriving business in The Bay area that was 80% friends 1999-2003. But the relocation forced a lot of personal & professional growth I'd never trade or regret.

No, actually I don't know 100% of them. My entire family lives in Germany so literally all the business I do comes from advertising.

Captain Wayne - I think I have a good mix of friends and family, referrals, and then those people who contact me whom I have never met before.

Almost all become friends once I start working with them.

No. Personal friends and real estate clients rarely share both categories.
