The value of talking face to face

                                                       Find a Realtor Anywhere in the Country

        

Yesterday my business partner and I went out into a local subdivision that has been one of my favorites since I came to Ocala Florida 4 years ago.  Our goal was to meet people and get to know the residents there. 

The subdivision?  Oh yes, the subdivision is Majestic Oaks!  A more perfect location would be hard to find.  It is close to shopping, medical needs, malls, highways within minutes and yet is in such a beautiful peaceful setting bordering a horse farm with a very visible exercising race track for the horses.  You can actually watch the horses in the distance running on the track in the early morning.  It is a sight to behold! 

           

The most amazing part about this community is how the homes and properties are kept.  Yes, there are deed restrictions that enforce maintenance and upkeep but the residents in this community are passionate about how their homes look.  And it shows!

           

I spoke with several people yesterday.  Some wanted to move for various reasons and some wanted to remain there forever.  That's normal in any area.

I enjoyed talking to each and every one of them.  They are a friendly bunch and I feel like I made lots of new friends! 

Being a Realtor is a wonderful occupation.  It's not just about listing, selling, contracts, inspections, closings and finally getting your pay check.  It's about people!  It's about developing rapport and trust.  That's something that a mailing or a for sale sign can never do.

No, I won't give up mailing nor will I give up putting up signs but more than that I want to meet more people face to face and get to know them as people & neighbors.  After that, when they want to buy or sell it is based on a relationship of trust and confidence, not just a piece of paper in their mailbox!

If Florida is the place you'd like to call home, then take a good look at Ocala!  I'd like to have the opportunity to meet with you face to face and get to know you so I can more easily assist you in finding the house that you will call home. 

I call myself "The Real Estate Matchmaker" because my passion is in "Bringing You Home!"

Sara, Majestic Oaks sounds like a really nice subdivision.  I'm sure it is fun to be able to watch the horses running in the distance.

Sara, I feel the same way about meeting with people face to face.  It's true we can't give us our marketing materials but our greatest tool and asset is "us".  Plain and simple.  You have just motivated me to get out to the neighborhoods and start talking.  Thank you!
