A good idea came to mind today as I was roaming my local Department of Real Estate's website. If you take a minute and think of what it is clients look for in an agent, what comes to mind? Let me tell you what I thought about. I was thinking that maybe linking your personal website or even any publicly visible site that you might use to advertise, to the Department of Real Estate's website for your area. By doing this, the potential client will be able to look up your license status and maybe by seeing a clean record, it will assure them that they are working with a true professional. The most important thing to convey when farming clients, in my opinion would be openly giving them ways to research the person working on their behalf, and convincing them that you are not out to do them wrong. Being that fingers have been pointed at REALTORS and loan officers for this depressed housing market being the way it is, it will be important in the future to prove yourself even more worthy than you have now. I hope everyone out there is doing well and good luck to all!!!
