Best Thing Since Sliced Bread for a REALTOR®? Testimonials from Happy Home Buyers& Sellers!

By
Real Estate Agent with Boardman Realty Minnesota License#90858

Teri Eckholm's SOLD Happy HouseIn the past, I have received numerous testimonials from home buyers ecstatic with their new dream home and happy parents of first time homebuyers. I love receiving these notes from clients...as most real estate agents do.

I recently started handing out a client satisfaction questionnaire. In addition to a 1-5 rating scale for service, I have some open ended questions on what my clients had to say about working with me. Here are a couple of responses that I received this past month. I LOVE this type of feedback...best thing since sliced bread, as they say.

"We were very satisfied with your service when we bought our home and will recommend you to our friends and relatives. The best thing about working with you is that you were very likable and NOT pushy!" Bob and Gail W. of North Branch

"After a period of internet research, I was impressed by the type of feedback you were giving everyone on selling their home.

You were straightforward, honest, down to earth and extremely hard-working. The fact that you were able to sell our townhome in the worst market in decades speaks volumes about the way it was marketed.

Teri, we couldn't have chosen a better person to work with us. We were very pleased with the attention and effort you put into selling our townhome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank You!" Brian and Dawn O. of Chaska, MN

Hi Teri, it is a third party statement of your dedication and professionalism when others feel confident in your skills to complement you in writing offering a personal recommendation.  Can't think of any better advertising.

Teri, Nothing says it like testimonials.  Many of my clients, unfortunately, don't want to publish their names :(  What a shame because I have the nicest emails.  You have some wonderful testimonials but I wouldn't have had to think twice about who to hire in your area!

Teri, I like the idea of doing it yourelf.  Our local association has started doing it but I have to be honest I'm not thrilled about giving them my clients address.

Best way to find out how others feel about an agent is the testimonial. Too many time we don't tell others how happy our clients are so they don't have the benefit of others experiences.

Marchel--I wouldn't want to give my client list to others either. At closing seems the perfect time and I give them an addressed and stamped envelope to make it even easier....A reminder about 3-4 weeks later, doesn't hurt as closing day can be a wihirlwind of activity and paperwork.

Lizette--Building or expanding doesn't matter to me...I mostly want to know if I did a good job for the client but adding to the testimonial list doesn't hurt either. :)

Terry--I have started to share more of this information online to give other buyers and sellers an insight into how I work with my clients. It is so difficult to select a quality agent from a photo alone.

Customer service says it all.  If they are happy, they MIGHT tell 1 person.  If they are unhappy, they WILL tell 10 or more. Keep up the good work
