Trusted? Yes. Worthy of Trust? Well…

People trust you.  That’s a given.  Worthy of that trust?… that’s the question.

We define worthy of trust simply…we keep your promises and are committed to doing things the right way!

As an Agent, the people around you have an effect on how you do business.   No matter how honest and trustworthy you may be, an environment of small compromises can affect your standards.  An environment of finding ANY WAY to get things done replaces doing things the RIGHT WAY.

That’s why “Worth of Trust” is at the top of our company core values.  Prudential has a 150 year history of being worthy of trust.  It’s a proud heritage that beckons our Agents to a higher standard than the average agent.   Our environment of excellence keeps the standards high for everyone involved.

Some Agents may be in compliance with real estate board ethics and professional standards, they have a real estate license, they sell houses,  but they lack one thing… they are not worthy of trust.

In my experience, the  way people do ANYTHING tends to be a good indication of how they will do EVERYTHING.   You make choices every day to do what you to the highest standards or allow the environment around you to compromise the trust others have placed in you.

Don’t allow your work to comply with adequate standards.   Surround yourself with people committed to the highest standards.  Build a life and reputation… worthy of trust.

Put others interest first… before your own

Tell the truth… no matter what

Don’t exaggerate… it’s dishonest

Don’t hide the truth from people

Admit it when you’re wrong or make a mistake

Keep your word… even when it’s not in writing

Make wrong things right… regardless of the cost
