With the upcoming November election, Dr. Jen Fry has also offered valuable ideas for GAAR members on how to handle critical broker-to-broker and broker-to-client conversations.
There isn’t one right way to talk about politics.
During this particularly tumultuous election season,
you may be worried about saying anything at all.
Jen has provided key questions and ideas for REALTORS® to consider when navigating crucial broker-to-broker and broker-to-client conversations that relate to politics. These interactions often involve sensitive matters that can be surrounded with important business discussions, all of which require a thoughtful approach. Jen encourages REALTORS® to reflect on questions like: "What is your level of tolerance for political conversations with your clients or potential clients?" and "What is the conversation around appropriate and not appropriate political comments on social media by brokers or employees?" By focusing on transparency, active listening, and understanding your values, these dialogues can be more productive. Handling these conversations with care is essential to ensuring smooth transactions, maintaining strong business relationships, and protecting the REALTOR®'s reputation in a competitive market.
