DAve I like that I am going to have to work on that today.Im sitting at the car wash right now so you are probably right I shouldnt say anything out loud though. :) Your Orlando & Lake Mary REal Estate Expert, Heather Joubran

Heather,

Yes, it is something we always try to work and refine. Hope you had a good car wash...the weather must be nice in FL! :)

Dave:  Very clever.  I started advertising that I would pay for home inspections a couple of months ago.  Doesn't seem to have made much impact but I'm going to keep it as part of what I do.  To me, hard work, continuous effort, and being forthright will eventually secure the referrals but it takes time to build a relationship with enough people for it to work.  So far, much of my business this year have been from referrals so it's working.

Donna,

Thanks! That is true that continuous effort will pay off through time. At that point, referrals will come in.

Dave- From many comments I have seen you make around the Rain....I am not surprised you read that advertising, and came up with this Post.  I have been impressed with several things you have said...usually thought provoking, or honest, sometimes educational. thanks......

I always try to come up with innovative ways to be remembered to clients and it always comes back to the same thing - regular contact,  Karen  www.e-virginiarealestate.com

Kathy M:  Thanks for the generous compliment!

Kathy K: That is true. Regular contact is important and a good practice to continue to do so. Many agents do tend to let it go and forget about this through time.
