FIRST IMPRESSION of a Mililani Real Estate Agent Leads to A Successful Closing

Fantastic, Sally. Knowing when and how to approach potential sellers is crucial. Too often we're told to blast them with emails, etc., when our gut tells us a different approach is what is needed. Listening to people lets us know the right approach. That's obviously what you did.

GREAT that they remembered you and did as they said! Congratulations!!

Congratulations, Sally...first impressions are always important.

You obviously have the Aloha spirit, so good for you and your client too.

I did a CMA for a couple a year ago, then they moved out of state and rented their place out. They just called for an updated CMA. Doesn't mean they'll sell, but it's nice that they've kept the relationship up. Good for you Sally.

First impressions are lasting ones...congratulations on making it one that earned you the business. 

Congratulations Sally!

Just out of curiosity, did you call or stay in touch with them by mail during this period?

Love Hawaii!

I had a similar, delightful experience, although it was a buyer. I met them at an open house one year (wasn't even my own listing, I was covering for a colleague in my office), and they emailed a year LATER to say they wanted ME to help them find the home of their dreams. It was a very humbling moment to realize those folks had remembered me, pegged my information somewhere, and contacted me when they were ready. And no, I did not "stay in touch" with them during that year, I didn't have their contact info. But I did remember them clearly, so was ready to jump into action with them. I realized that every single conversation with have with somebody can be the critical one, for better or worse!

Well done Sally. First impressions are lasting ones. Congrats.

That's great that they even remembered you... Usually you get one shot at the close there.

Good on you Sally, you we're right in saying first impressions mean everything.

Can we say ALOOOOOOOOHAAAAAA!

Sally:

Isn't it great when you get that call from someone you spoke with a year ago who promised call you when they were ready to sell?  Congratulation on the listing and the sale.   

The first impression must have worked. Hopefully they will price it correctly so you can make a deal.

Hi Sally, Congratulations and I am so glad the first impression worked for you!

I love it when people remember me.  I have had some call me back I never thought I would hear from.

Sally, Congratulations on your listing and Sale!  Another testament to patience and perseverance.

Bravo! Congrats! It's true, that first impression is hard to recover from if you don't have a good one, but when you do, it can have lasting effects!

Sally, congratulations on your sale! You are a living proof that successful realtors are not necessarily typical "salespersons", contrary to the common idea. Keep up the awesome work!

Good for you! You must have made a very good first impression.
