Q: If you could choose any superpower what would it be and how would it help you with your business?
“If I could have any superpower it would be this … As I work with buyers and sellers to have the power to know what they are really thinking. And with that power I would be able to better help them move through the sale and/or purchase of a house to make a home. It is my goal to serve my clients’ needs and this power would be very helpful … The power is really already there in each of us as we seek to understand our clients’ needs.”
—Laura Filip, RE/MAX UTOPIA, Whitesboro, Texas
“Not sure if reading minds is a superpower, but if it is, that’s my choice. If it’s not, flying so I can avoid traffic!”
—Brian Teyssier, RE/MAX Advanced Realtors, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
“Mind reading, so I know what clients are thinking but not saying.”
—Pat Tasker, Shorewest REALTORS®, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
“The Light side of The Force! Making sure all transactions close on a positive note, and both buyers and sellers walk away happy.”
—Claire Hellam, Island Realty Group, Ewa Beach, Hawaii
“I don’t know if it is considered a superpower, but I would go with Wonder Woman’s invisible jet. That would just be an awesome way to show properties!”
—Kurt Thompson, Keller Williams Realty–North Central, Leominster, Massachusetts
“Flying, for sure.”
—Kimberly Cameron, Better Homes & Gardens Preferred Properties, St. Louis
“Experience with types of people, and knowing and understanding how they process information and make decisions. I have found this to be extremely important. I use a “Life Value System” as to types of people. There are seven types. When you know what and who they are and how they communicate, you’ll not be a super hero. … You have to step into their value system to communicate with them. … That is the power.”
—Lane Mabray, RE/MAX Westside REALTORS®
“I would choose omnilingualism … nothing would be better than to be able to speak, read and understand both my clients and other REALTORS® from around the world. I focus on building my business not just locally, but throughout the U.S. as well as internationally. I love being a CRS and having colleagues around the world that share the same passion I have for real estate. Seamlessly referring or personally helping a client from another country using their unique language would be priceless.”
—Dawn Leahy, Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty, San Diego
“I would be invisible… ?”
—Sonja Seidl, J. P Weigand and Sons, Inc., Wichita, Kansas
