I think we all hear about it when we start in this business. One day you will get a call from a former client who wants to sell the house you helped them purchase. Or, a former client recommends you to family member, co-worker or friend. Or an agent is too busy and calls you to help a lead find a home. The word is referral.
Recently, I have had the joy of this happening to me. Tomorrow, I have an appointment with somone I sold a house to two years ago. They are moving on and out of town and they want me to do a walk thru. I am going to help them determine the best time to put their home on the market and how to prepare it for marketing. The feeling was wonderful! I wanted to jump for joy.
Then there was the call from another agent. She had changed brokerages and needed someone to meet with her customers and show them a home. I asked what she wanted in return. She told me "Nothing, I know you will treat them well and help them find a home." Thank you for trusting me with this young couple, they were great to work with and I so enjoyed meeting them.
Today my phone rang and it was a former buyer client who's brother is in the market to purchase a home. He lives in another town, but my former client tells me he told him I would do what I could to help him find a home and I was good at what I did. How humbling!
Maybe it is because this is new to get so many of these calls so close together, but I am in awe. What I really hope is that I am able to deliver the same service to each and every future client and referral. I am able to help each client locate the home of their dreams or to begin their American Dream of home ownership. I also wish the same for all of my fellow ActiveRainers.
