How important a good reputation can be

Today I met a client at a new condo building that was opening for the first time today. My client had been following its completion for the past 3 months with great anticipation. We got there at 10am sharp in the rain and were both surprised at what a great project it turned out to be. The construction quality was beyond what I would have thought based on the price point and I think my client agreed based on the many properties he's seen over the past 3 months. What made it an even more pleasant surprise was the listing agent who I had never met seemed to know me and when I introduced myself to him and my client, he could not have been nicer and more accommodating to my clients questions and went on and on, to my discomfort on what a great reputation I have and how lucky my client is to be working with me.

That stuff aside, what matters to me most is that my client is well taken care of and I know that this made him feel good about the entire experience, so far. I really try to be a good person, treat people right and be kind and complimentary to all. Life is tough and we need to treat each other with kindness and respect, little to ask and easy to accomplish.
