Sometimes You Just Have to Go the Extra Mile for Your

Raleigh, Cary, Apex Area Real Estate Clients...

Craig Rutman Goes the Extra Mile for His Raleigh, Cary, Apex Area Real Estate Clients...

OK, my dear readers, before you get your kilts all up in a bunch, I am NOT advocating breaking out the Smith and Wesson to make a deal go through in the Raleigh, Cary, Apex area Real Estate market!

In fact, I've never even held a gun in my life. And, if I did, it would probably look like this one...



But, I am advocating going the extra mile for your clients. Whether it's working until midnight (which I often do), driving 70 miles to pick up a check (which I recently did), or working on days that you've designated "no shave/ work from home days" (I try to get at least one of those weekly), it's important to insure that you're doing all those things that make your clients appreciate the job they've hired you to do.

Personally, I think going the extra mile for my clients is what separates me from the pack. And, I know my clients appreciate it because much of my business comes from past client referrals.

So, my friends, you can be "adequate" or you can be "exceptional".

Adequate can, and often does, get the job done.

But exceptional keeps them coming back for more.

I was just thinking, I wonder if they make a Hello Kitty automatic weapon that I can get for my new nieces.

Thanks for the help Craig.

Craig, I really think businesses like Nordstrom have raised customers expectations of customer services, I think what they expect now in a real estate agent is exceptional service, which you give them gladly.

Craig, most everyone is capable of adequate or average...words I never want to hear my clients say about me are...Nick was so incredibly adequate!  I'm absolutely positive none of your clients have ever uttered those word when describing you...although your girlfriends might be another story :)

Hey all,

We'll be on vacation for a few days.

Sitting on the beach in Eleuthera.

Here is one of the many views on the way to the home we've rented for the week...

See you all in about a week...... maybe!

Craig - I've been a little MIA in the Rain, but always stop by your blog when I log on! I'm so happy to hear your taking a well deserved vacation to Eleuthera! I was there 15 years ago for a sailing trip and it wasn't built up at all. I can't wait to see some photos of how it's developed since then. I do remember the most beautiful turquoise water! I think there are some ruins on the Island - you should find out. Enjoy and we'll see you when you get back!
