Whether you\u2019re dealing with a party in a transaction, a new agent in your brokerage, or even your own client, try these strategies to make things smoother.\nStart with yourself. Much of how you react to difficult situations affects the outcome\u2014and your reaction isn\u2019t always correct. Ask yourself if there are ways you should modify your reactions to make your experience less unpleasant.\nNow, think about the other person. This strategy takes some level of empathy, which doesn\u2019t necessarily come naturally. Maybe the person you don\u2019t like really is terrible, or maybe her father is ill and she\u2019s preoccupied. Changing your perspective about some of the other person\u2019s actions can make it a little easier to get through your interactions together.\nTry honesty. Vulnerability can be a powerful tool in resolving conflict. If it\u2019s with a client, you could say, \u201cI get the sense that I\u2019m not meeting your expectations. Are there some ways we can work better together?\u201d If it\u2019s with another party to your transaction, you could say, \u201cI think we both have the same goal to close this deal. How we can work together more effectively to meet that goal?\u201d\nIf all else fails \u2026 You might have to cut ties if the situation is truly toxic. If that\u2019s the case, you may ask others to take over your role. For instance, enlist the help of another agent whose personality is a better fit with the other party. And if it\u2019s your client, you may have to end your relationship.\nOverall, try to stay positive in your thinking and your actions while you weather a rough relationship.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although sometimes you can minimize your contact with those you don\u2019t get along with, it may be unavoidable.
