Ask your agent if they are away who covers their business?
Dorrie and her husband have just returned from vacation. That gives Dorrie a very fresh perspective on the subject of selecting someone to cover your business during your absence. Dorrie's time off was planned (as opposed to an emergency), but you still need a back up plan in case of of emergency.
Ask your agent if they are away who covers their business?
When selecting an agent to represent you in a real estate transaction you need to know their procedures for working with you. Are they available from 9-6? Are they accessible both Saturday and Sunday? How do they communicate: email, phone, text or a combination? Asking many questions will help in the decision making process to find a good agent match for you.
At least several times a year my husband and I take a break to travel which is one of our favorite things to do! We schedule trips in a relatively slower time of the year (if that is ever really doable - one never knows). Working 24/7 for months is mroe than possible but I find a week or two away...no phones..no problem solving is a luxury that can rejuvenate the mind and body beyond words!
As a buyer or seller an important question you should ask syour agent if they are going to be away (let's face it we are normal, have families and obligations that may take us away periodically) what plan is in place to handle their clients?
If we have plans to be away I tell my clients not to worry. I make a practice to have my business covered with competent agents who work in similar style as me. Procedures are in place carried out my very competent assistant who can coordinate all issues and direct them to the proper agent in charge of a specific client. I split my files up so no agent is loaded with more than 2-3 clients. The agents I choose to cover my business work with the same professional skills I do and will take diligent care of my clients.
