best clients agent relationships: The Gravity Of It.
- 10/23/23 12:15 PM
The Gravity Of It. In business, once trust is established between parties, an agent's presence is most valued and an all-important factor in referring services. Clients depend on professionals to help guide them, their family members and friends to successful end results. You may hate gravity, but gravity doesn't care. ~ Clayton M. Christensen Those who fail to realize the benefits of hiring an experienced real estate agent often make mistakes through poor decisions and/or are taken advantage of, when going it alone. Only then do they feel the gravity of the situation coming down on them.
The gravity is the first thing which you … (13 comments)

Nerdin Gardens: Real Estate Social Media Plant
Being in the industry for many seasons allows me to observe tried and true methods. Others offer bright & shiny schemes, designed to gain immediate attention, relieving agents of money.
Here are some things that have worked for me:
An effective on-line presence is at the top. Web sites such as ActiveRain, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn can enhance business when used properly.
Avoid ranting and angrily raging on-line. And old saying, “Do not say anything that you wouldn’t want your mother, grandmother or children(if applies) to read.”
Create a realistic budget on how much you can afford to spend. … (12 comments)

best clients agent relationships: R is for Referral. So Mind your P's & Q's.
- 02/27/21 06:53 AM
R is for Referral. So Mind your P's & Q's.
Developing online real estate related business relationships is important. Behavior and ability dictates whether I send out a referral or not to fellow Realtors and affiliate members.
Someone who is unethical, intentionally maligns another agent, is consistently confrontational or verbally purges with lack of regard is not on my preferred list.
From a young age, I was taught manners and, in turn, I taught our children the same. It takes very little to remain composed through chaos and treat others fairly.
So, mind those P's and Q's and you just might get an R!

- 12/05/20 08:29 AM
5 Real Estate Facts About Buyer Agents
Successful real estate agents ensure their clients are well-educated, given up-to-date, viable, backed up facts. This helps guide buyers to informed decisions. Local knowledge makes an agent valuable.
They:
1. Refer trusted mortgage brokers.
When it comes time for mortgage qualification, agents tend to work with reputable affiliates who have earned the recommended business. Of course, consumers are free to choose for themselves.
2. Only show homes in qualified price range.
Agents maintain an obligation to show homes of interest within a price point. Clients view homes, selecting the ones to best serve them, fulfilling the search criteria, keeping … (17 comments)

Putting Clients Best Interests First!
After passing the real estate exam, the best place to begin, was reaching out to my sphere of influence, to start working on professional relationship building. After all, this is a people industry.
Gaining success through hard work by achieving results, still remains at the forefront year after year. Past clients continue to send referrals of their family and friends in my direction.
Realizing client-desired real estate goals is paramount to repeat business. For that I am grateful, not only for that but also some friendships formed and forged that will last a lifetime.

best clients agent relationships: Opportunity knocking...calling?!
- 10/24/20 07:51 AM
Opportunity knocking...calling?!
An agent in an online real estate group made a statement that resonated with me. He said, "If I called every agent in the group (of 100K+), less than 20% would answer."
But did test the theory?
No. And I was ready to prove him wrong! LOL
As a seasoned agent, I know success in this industry is more than just answering the phone. It is:
Putting to action a plan for each potential client is of the greatest importance.
Self confidence along with local knowledge enables moving forward positively.
Relaying pertinent information about communities, desirable areas, subtle nuances within subdivisions that are rules HOA's encourages decisions.
Do what you say and say what … (21 comments)

Another Home PURCHASED in St. George, Utah in the Hills Subdivision!
While searching for a home to purchase with clients, I recommend writing up a back-up offer on a home that quickly goes under contract, especially when a mortgage is involved. They often fall off.
That is exactly what happened during due diligence!

best clients agent relationships: Refer back to the four corners of the contract before proceeding.
- 09/11/14 02:35 AM
Refer back to the four corners of the contract before proceeding.
Buyers and sellers come together in agreement, are soon under contract and the due diligence process begins. Based on the condition of the home, the sellers agreed to allow X-amount of dollars in repairs to be written into the offer to purchase.
Close to the settlement date, the sellers find themselves renegotiating the contract because the lender refused to accept the repair terms. Now, the buyers want more 'help' with so-called repairs and asked for a check to be written by the sellers outside of the contract.
The buyers may be perpetuating mortgage fraud and I strongly advised my clients to … (8 comments)

best clients agent relationships: Pay 3 times over the quoted price?
- 07/07/14 12:56 AM
Pay 3 times over the quoted price?
Contractor bids a job to be done and sets the price at $7000.
After beginning the dirt work, he realizes the job is more involved than originally planned. He does not give the home buyer a new price but instead finishes the work, then sends an invoice for $22,000.00.
That is more than 3 times the original bid!
All work was halted until it was paid in full. In essence, said contractor held the home buyer's future home hostage until the request was satisfied.
Would you advise your client to: Pay it all and move on so it doesn't impede progress on getting the entire construction job finished, … (7 comments)

best clients agent relationships: Why should we hire you to help us find a home?
- 06/06/14 04:17 AM
Why should we hire you to help us find a home?
A reasonable question that begs an answer. Inquiring buyers want to know what may set one real estate agent apart from their competition. Especially when there are usually many vying for the same local selling area. There have been quite a few times in the past several years when I have been asked to expound on my sales numbers, goals, work ethics, etc.
Some potential buyers wish to be delighted with a cleverly devised answer or desire a prolific marketing statement and then some want to be entertained with unrealistic expectations. I simply help people achieve their real estate goals through experience, diligence, honesty … (9 comments)
