"Painting for the Cause"

The things we do as Realtors to make our listings more saleable. This past weekend I had a showing on one of my listings and calling this agent back as we all do for feedback she informed me that the house smelled like smoke in the kitchen area mostly and asked if there were any smokers in the house and as an honest agent I told her there was, and normally she smoked outside on the deck. Well when I called my client she informs me that she does normally smoke outside but occasionally she gets lazy when it gets cold and she smokes in the kitchen with the back-door open. Well over the years the smoke that backs up gets into the walls and it is a big turn off for non-smokers. Anyway my clients have now relocated and I have agreed to paint the kitchen for them and FOR FREE. All I'm saying is that these are things that can go along way to securing future business for us. So my son and I are going out this coming weekend and paint a kitchen. Another reason I'm doing it myself instead of hiring someone is that you never know who you can run into while painting. Make use of the time run an Open House ad and put some balloons up. With the market the way it is we have to get buyers and listings anyway we can. In 11 years in the business I guess I have done about everything from painting to punch list repairs, etc., to ensure that my client has a good experience with me and that I'm willing to do what ever it takes(thats legal, moral and ethical) to earn there trust and business.
