Do You Ask For Testimonials from Your Clients?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Home Buyers Realty, LLC-Manchester, Bolton. Vernon,Ellington 0788174

It has been a month since we closed on 155 Brandy Rd. in Bolton, Connecticut. My sellers lived in this lovely home for 53 years. In this humble but well-adored home, they saw their four offspring grew up here until they left to begin their new journey in life outside of their parents nurturing shelter.

 

This property was listed before with a top producing agent for almost a year until it expired. I got the listing because my previous client referred them to me.155 Brandy Street Bolton CT

 

We had setbacks in our pursuit to sell the home. The buyer should fall in love with this home to see past the current deficiency.

 

 

 

Their testimonial could tell how the sellers felt.

Sellers' Testimonial for Maria Gilda Racelis

 

So to going back to my question, "Do you ask testimonials from your clients?", I think in each transaction wherein you feel that your clients will not hesitate to give you a review, you should ask for it. And even if you are not sure that they  would willingly give it, ask for it anyway. You will never know until you ask.

 

Moreover, testimonials could make you feel good. It is a laurel to wear, a pat on the back, a reward for a job well done.

I used to, but I haven't done so in a very long time.  I like when they come to me unsolicited though, those are usually the best ones!

Maria,  I do ask for feedback on my service and for testimonials. The feedback is in the form of a questionnaire.  Some "raving fans" who absolutely love me and my services do not write testimonials.  They are private people and do not want it on the Internet.  I respect that.

Maria you do an excellent job of asking for written testimonials and video ones as well.  I need to follow your example more, and make asking for testimonials more a part of my business.

At some point in the job it would be appropriate to ask for an opinion of our services.  How we get it tells the story of the service we gave

Maria, I usually forget to ask, as clients are busy moving, but sure do need to get in touch once they are settled.   You always do a great job with this!

I ask them to do them online. It would probably be a good idea to send them a link or two!

Maria, came back to see if others did this often, and Jeff has a good idea - send links for on-line testimonials!

Hi Maria Gilda Racelis ,  Most clients are actually flattered when asked if the would write a testimonial.  It's not out of line by askng.
