In a world obsessed with quick sales and digital metrics, what makes all the difference could be sitting right under your nose: the relationships you nurture.  Too many real estate professionals continue to push cold calling and hard sales tactics, only to find themselves burnt out and disconnected. They focus on the short game - transactions - without realizing the gold mine in genuine connections.  What do leading Realtors do to convert acquaintances into loyal clients?
