Wearing My Name Badge & My KW Golf Shirt Produced a Listing Appointment
I was inspired to write this post after reading a post from one of my mentors and friend, Barbara Todaro. Barbara’s featured post was Marketing Can Be Free...But You Cannot Sit in the Office All Day...Network. Well, you can say that I was doing exactly that, out in public networking, since I was wearing my causal KW golf shirt and my name tag.
Earlier this week I stopped to eat lunch at a local What- A- Burger before I went to my next afternoon appointment. While I was eating my lunch, a gentleman came over to my table, and said, “Excuse me sir, but I noticed that you are a real estate agent, and don’t want to disturb your lunch, but I would like to ask you a couple of questions”. I responded “have a seat, and how may I help you”?
He stated that he wanted to sell his present home, but he didn’t know how much to sell it for. I informed him that I would be glad to give him a FREE Market Analysis for his home, and produce some comps from other homes in the neighborhood. I explained that I would also need to actually see his home to check out the area and the condition to give a more accurate value for his home. I got his name, contact information, and his home address. Then, I scheduled my first appointment with him yesterday morning on Saturday, August 6th.
This was a very productive visit, and he is preparing his home for me to list it on the market within the next two weeks, since he needs time for some TLC before I actually put that sign in the front yard. Yes, I naturally informed him that we are still in a buyer’s market, and we want to take advantage of good pricing, and good First Impressions when those showings start.
One never knows who is watching you, or when you may be approached as you are out wearing your name tags, and your company’s logo on your shirts or clothing. Being out in public is a great place to network and to get some new business too. You never know when someone may ask you for that Free Market Analysis, or they may want to purchase a home. It you want to know how much your home will sell for, see my website forYour Home’s Value. Then contact me for a listing appointment to help you sell your home in the San Antonio and surrounding areas.
