Just as you like clients to write reviews on you, you should too!

Full Moon at Arenas Gardens Hotel in Palm SpringsWe in the real estate industry really like to get good reviews when we have helped a client buy or sell a home. In fact, we love it when they write these reviews on Zillow or Trulia or wherever potential clients will see them. Many of us get business from these reviews.

 

 

SO, DO YOU WRITE REVIEWS ON OTHERS THAT HAVE GIVEN YOU GOOD SERVICE?

IT MIGHT JUST BRING BUSINESS TO THEM TOO.

Here's an example:

I've been in Palm Springs the past couple of weeks looking for some property for a client. Friends of mine operate the charming little Arenas Gardens Hotel in the Tennis Club District and this is where I am staying. Steve and Kass do such a wonderful job with the five bungalows and beautiful tropical gardens that I thought I should write some reviews for them.

One of them is on TripAdvisor, a website that the traveling public evidently looks at for just such reviews.

So today I am taking a little time off at the pool and start talking to some guests that had come for the weekend. 'Lo and behold, the first couple I introduce myself to says, "Hella, that's an unusual name, are you the one who wrote that TripAdvisor review? It mentioned that you were staying here right now. Your review made us book into this hotel."

WOW...I was blown away.

Later I talked to another couple, and they also had made the booking after reading my review!!!!

SO, YES, HERE WAS PROOF THAT REVIEWS WORK, AND NOT ONLY IN OUR INDUSTRY.

Good morning Hella. Yes I do, actually all the time and am fortunate to receive many as well. How much does it cost you to say something good about you?

Very cool that this couple read your review and booked at the bungalows also. On occasion, I do write reviews for exceptional service or quality of a place.

Joe Petrowsky - We are often so busy waiting for OUR clients to do this for us, we need to remember to return the favor to others. And it doesn't cost anything!

Roger D. Mucci - If we did this more often, it spreads good will. I bet if you wrote a good review on Yelp, for example, for that furniture store, it would spread a lot of goodwill! Hint, hint...

Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI - They will definitely remember it. This review came from my heart because Kass and Steve are working so hard to make this place a little jewel and I am so lucky to have found it.

That's a lovely oasis you discovered or maybe your friend's oasis discovered you in Palm Springs. I don't often write reviews because I don't much credence in them as most are written by people who don't know what they are talking about, except for the people who review me, of course, heh heh. However, I do see the benefit in the karma of it. I do review things on my own blog.

Hella, used Trip Advisor for many locations on my vacation in August, and did write a couple reviews.
