DUE TO CLIENT APPRECIATION DINNER PARTY IN NORTHEAST PHOENIX IN OUR HOME

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart

Due to Client Appreciation Dinner Party in Northeast Phoenix in our home this coming Saturday evening we will not be accepting

new clients Friday or Saturday. As we will be assisting our wife with the dinner she will prepare for 35 happy former clients. Somethiing we have done for a few years on a quarterly basis.

Homemade ICE CREAM, Homemade Coconut Cream Pie are just two of the four deserts we will prepare to top off the home cooked meal especially prepared for happy former clients who have received invitations to our home.

The idea I though of about in about eight years ago; something on a quarterly basis to show my appreciation for my clients, knowing I have competitors numbering over 25,000 it appeared two fold. ONE: Something I really just wanted to do regardless if there was any competition what so ever, and too to SHOW WE STILL ARE: NADOTA - about 12 years ago we came up with those letters which stand for NOT<>A<>DUPLICATE<>OF<>THE<>AVERAGE.........

It is so disappointing to see what the human race has done within the real estate industry. About 16 years ago real estate agents began a new habit: of disregarding clients with representing them in presenting their offers. To the best of my ability I am not familiar with any Realtor who presents offers any more.

Often I write offers for buyers and call to present, and the listing agent, says: just email or fax it to me. When the professionalism has been degraded this much I would assume CLIENT APPRECIATION DINNER PARTIES is not something other agents would offer either.

Those of you out ther who read this PLEASE COMMUNICATE WITH ME: Does it make sense when attornies still show up in court to appear face to face with the judge and jury and in many cases I would assume the rate of pay for a lawyer is about the same as it is for some real estate agents, and the process of DRIVING ACROSS TOWN (if necessary) and presenting an offer face to face takes a total of about one hour to two hours<><><><><><><><><><> WHY DO Real Estate Agents not perform this service???

This to me is about the biggest disgrace I have seen in the real estate business.  People complain about the service of banks................

This is just as bad, folks.

 

I hope your day is as good as mine

Hi Dan,

That is a great thing to do for your clients.  I have done a couple client appreciation events and they are well appreciated.  Best of luck on yours.
