Going Above and Beyond

By
Home Inspector with Complete Home Inspections, Inc. TN Lic#050

     I feel as I am pretty lucky as I get an opportunity to work with some really great real estate agents that are all about customer service. Today, I had an opportunity to work with Franklin, TN agents Tammie and Tom White of Benchmark Realty. What really impressed me was how Tammie and Tom went above and beyond to bring their out of town client into the post inspection walk-through and to relieve the anxiety of purchasing a property from afar.
     Tammie took out her iPhone and contacted her client via face-time and just as if the client were there in person, she conducted the walk-through. Tammie never missed a beat and handled business as if her client was there on site. Isn't technology grand?
     As I said earlier, I am lucky to be able to work with some really great agents and the agents that frequent the ActiveRain platform are crème de la crème. Tammie and Tom are a great example of the professionals that not only frequent this platform but go above and beyond to service their clientele.

WOW! I never thought about doing a walk through on Face Time! It is a great idea and I think it is something I will be doing. Well... if my Samsung does face time!

I know those two!  Good thing Tom is holding up that bank of cabinets.

Love the back splash too!

I would expect nothing less than above and beyond from them.  And you.

I know of some agents who show up at inspections and follow the inspector around .  Some do some don't.  Tammy and Tom just go above that and it is a good thing...

I have done that with a missing spouse or interested party that wanted to be there and couldn't. It works and makes business go on as usual. Glad you got to get some business. I am sure you impressed.

Michael, That is cool. I did an inspection and my clients wanted their dad to participate so they had him up on Skype and we did a walk through.
