Referral Posted...Better get on it!

By
Real Estate Agent with Field Realty - Broker/Owner

Yesterday morning I received a referral announcement post that came in thru my email. Ever since jumping into the real estate racket, my father advised to get on any lead immediately and follow up ASAP to show professional accountability. It turns out that after speaking with the referred couple, our friends/family have crossed paths and we have common acquaintances. 

I believe the main reason we were able to gain the confidence of the referal agent was that I called first thing in the a.m. as I received the alert. Sometimes, you are in meetings/appointments etc., and it's physically impossible to gain "the immediate edge" and you just have to dal with it. The good thing about being a memeber of a team is that if for some reason one of us is busy we can communicate to make sure that the other can help out. We all know that sometimes these work out and other times, they don't, but the main thing is to get the shot and see if you can make it happen!

Hi Michael.  Responsiveness is key to keep both clients and referring agents happy.

Congratulations.  I agree that first impressions matter, and if you show you are responsive that makes a great first impression!

I heard yesterday that we have gotten to a place in our society that if you are not responded to in 20 min, you look elsewhere... 

Good luck on your referral.  Fun that you have mutual acquaintances.
