Building bonds with Repair Technicians

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Premier Associates

Why do Air Conditioners only break at night? It always seems to happen that if an AC is going to break it will always break after hours when no repair technicians are available and if you can get someone to come out it will cost you an arm an a leg.

As a value added service to my clients I make sure to find repair technicians in every field that I can trust and refer business to. Over the years I have made good relationships with AC technicians, plumbers, electricians, handy man etc. I make my clients aware that I know people thank can help them in a time of need and to call me if they ever need anything.

During the course of a year I usually get 8-10 calls from my clients and I refer them the appropriate person. This has helped me to build a stronger bond with my clients and have turned them into more like friends. In the past few years I have received more referrals and have built a better rapport with my past clients.

Just food for thought.

Buying or Selling? Ann & Jim are the local experts

An address book filled with reliable home repair people is a valuable service you can provide to both sellers and buyers.

I use my address book quite a bit when I take a listing to have any fix up items my sellers are not capable of doing or don't have time to do.l

On the buyers side there's usually always something that needs changing, replacing, or fixing.

For instance on my last closing I referred carpet people, hardwood flooring people, an electrician, and a plumber to take care of items we took a credit from the seller on rather than letting him slop up or half do any need repairs and maintenance items.
