So true. Avoiding sellers is putting your business in jeopordy... Contact and knowledge is what they need.

I agree... i like to give my clients weekly update.  I call them even if it is to say "nothing new this week"  This can also help lay the foundation for a price reduction when they are aware of no activity week after week.

Faith,  It doesn't seem like an effective way to run a business.  If you are not staying in touch with your sellers, why are you listing properties?

I get busy and forget to call/email them if I don't put a reminder on my calendar. Now I add the reminders for next week after calling this week. It works for me. And putting ourselves in their shoes should be all the motivation we need.

Faith,

How about sellers that don't even know there listing has expired.  The agents hasn't even called them to relist.  I,too, call my sellers once a week to let them know what the past week brought.  I find a get less phone calls to have to return if they know they are going to hear from me at a set date and time.  Thanks for your imput

It's nice to have a set expectation... times of the week or day where they will expect some sort of news... even if to report that there is little news.
