Get to Know Steve Hatfield - ABR, CRS, e-PRO

Business Philosophy...When I decided to become a full time Real Estate Professional in the fall of 1986, I had a basic business philosophy. This philosophy was and still is, to offer superior service on an individual basis in order to develop a loyal customer base. These customers would not only consider me their personal real estate agent, but would also have the confidence to refer me to their friends, relatives, neighbors, and business associates. Twenty years later, with approximately 90 Million Dollars in home sales and numerous achivement awards behind me, I still subscribe to the same original philosophy. As a result, year after year over 50% of my total business comes from either repeat clients or past client referrals. Professional Background...Before starting my career in Real Estate, I spent 15 years in the advertising and marketing business. This prior career experience included retail advertising sales, the development of direct response marketing programs and marketing director for a franchise sales organization. This wealth of experience and knowledge combined with the most recent computer and Internet based technology has enabled me to develop, implement, and provide my real estate clients with many unique and innovative services.

Professional Memberships and Affiliations... Michigan Real Estate Salespersons License since 1987 Active member of the NAR - National Association of REALTORS Active member of the MAR - Michigan Association of REALTORS Active member of the Dearborn Board of REALTORS Active member of The Council of Residential Specialists - CRS Active member of The Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council - ABR Active member of Realcomp II / Multiple Listing Service Real Estate Related Education...In Michigan, all that is required to obtain a real estate license is to take a forty-hour class that prepares you to pass a fairly simple multiple choice test. After my first couple of years in the real estate business, I realized that this original forty-hour class wasn't going to be enough training to provide the kind of service my clients deserved. Over the years I have taken it upon myself to attend dozens of training seminars and have also completed a number of advanced real estate courses. Because of the ever-changing nature of the real estate industry I feel that as a professional Realtor® it is important to stay current on the latest industry trends, legal issues and advances in technology.

Dedicated to Providing Quality Service...In today's fast paced world, it seems that receiving "good old fashioned quality service" is becoming a thing of the past. However, I believe that my clients deserve the best service that I can possibly provide. To ensure that all of my clients and customers continue to receive the absolute best service possible, I joined forces with another fully licensed Realtor® in 1994. Vicki, herself a successful Realtor with over 18 years experience in the real estate business, has always had the same attitude toward quality service as I. Vicki now coordinates and manages all of the many behind-the-scene details that help attain the goal of a smooth and pleasant real estate transaction for all of our clients. Computers and Technology...Since discovering the power of PC technology in 1993, the Internet/World Wide Web and eMail in 1995, I have been able to elevate my business to a new level of professionalism. I have made a substantial commitment in time and dollars to computer and Internet based technology. To date, I have invested in four PC's, two laptop computers, two Palm PDA's, 5 printers, 3 digital cameras, several real estate specific software programs, numerous other software programs and 2 in-depth real estate web sites at www.DearbornHomes.com and www.Steve-Hatfield.com I have found that this investment in technology has given me a substantial competitive edge in my profession and has become an integral part of my real estate business. Amazingly enough, many real estate professionals today are still not embracing the power of the Internet and technology in general. I on the other hand have found that today's technology allows me to provide my clients with a much greater range and quality of services than ever before. As a result, my clients greatly benefit from these leading edge real estate services and can reach their home buying and selling goals in ways that were never possible before.
