Key Takeaways:

“Persistence and understanding what challenges are possible to overcome… and not knowing when [clients] have the fear of the unknown, being able to walk them through that next step.”

“As a ninja, we don't take a transactional mindset… We take a long term approach. We're always looking at ways to help and to serve and add value. Always looking for ways to be relevant.”

“I have been a peer to my clients. I think truly that's the biggest thing, making these connections… We can just have a human to human conversation as opposed to it being a transactional conversation.”

“Larry Kendall is incredible. The way that he absorbs energy from the people around him and the way that he adjusts for each situation… and has such a process for working with buyers and sellers and community members to really make people comfortable.”

“The idea of… having a listing packet that is professional delivered to their door before you even get over there and see them was earth shaking – a game changer.”

“It's the gesture of wow, you care.”

“Coming together in a room with a hundred people who are all focused on their careers and getting to learn from a ninja master has been eye opening.”
