I'm late! I'm late! I Know I am late! 

Late

Monday is the day the I update all of my sellers on what has been happening in the market and their home or property, specifically in the last week. A few of the things I answer are:

  • Have they had any showings?
  • What has the agent feedback been?
  • Are there things they as sellers need to do or take care of?
  • How many hits on the agent website?
  • How many public hits?
  • How active has the web page been? 
  •  And the current stats for their local market in a brief summary.
  • There's more -- but you get the idea.

Well, today I'm Late! I'm late! I know I am late!  Monday's are generally a little more hectic than other days in the office. Seems typical for any office. But today was one of those days where all my best laid plans when right out the window. So much to do, so little time. .... Adapt and Overcome. Adapt and Overcome.

So Mr. and Mrs. Seller or Mr. Seller, or Ms. Seller....my apologies that I am late with your report! The day has been busy with phone calls and questions from buyers and agents- which means that the Belfair and Allyn real estate market is busy, which means your buyer could be right around the corner and it could be your turn next!

I will catch all of my reports up in the next day or two and will try get us all back on schedule next week!

Thanks for your patience and I know - I'm late! I'm Late! I know I'm late!

Valerie, I do the Monday update as well, but have learned to tell them I will do it by mid-week.  It's all in setting up their expectations.  Then, if I DO call on Monday, they're pleased.  If it's Tuesday, it's still early, although to me it's a day late.  It works.

Paul - It not only updates them but it gives me a good look at what is going on as well which helps in our strategy for the week and beyond. Thanks for coming by Paul.

Sally - I hear ya...Some Mondays it just does not happen as planned. They understand and are very appreciative as well. I should look at the day I do these as Monday's can get hectic! Thanks for stopping by!
