How's your customer service?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with CR Premier Properties LLC

As a Realtor, we sometimes get asked questions regarding our real estate business, without any consideration to our compensation. Have you ever been asked to do a CMA or provide services free of charge? If we get disgruntled or refuse sometimes we may not be looking at the big picture. Word of mouth is the greatest referral source we can generate. So by providing these "extra" services we may ultimately find ourselves with new customers as a result.

 

I found this You Tube video that shows the negative impact that refusing a free service can possible have on your reputation. Just one unsatisfied customer can provide some heavy damage~ Enjoy the clip~

I have faced this, but yes it certainly can pay to take the high road in the long run.
