It’s not easy to be transparent. Allowing someone to see your strengths, weaknesses, successes and failures is tough, yet it seems that those are the relationships that are the truest and deepest in our lives. It’s a step of faith to be vulnerable and let others see the real you, but it’s a chance worth taking.
Now, before you start to think of this as a therapy session, this type of transparency actually does relate to your work! One of the things we as a team of Real Estate Virtual Assistants love to do is to bring you fresh and innovative ways to reach your clients, so here’s a new one! It’s bold. It’s daring. It takes you being completely vulnerable in order to draw in potential clients. It’s HomeThinking.
This company began on the understanding that transparency is the truest way to allow clients to see who you really are as an agent. HomeThinking is designed to empower buyers and sellers to make informed choices on agents in their area, and they love it! They’re able to see agents’ sales, the sale amount and the time it took them to complete the sale. Testimonials (agent reviews) from previous clients are also helpful in getting to know how the agent was to work with and their overall performance.
Sound interesting? Here’s how it works. Simply sign up for this FREE service! You can enter your bio and even upload listings to your account. Use your link for your website, email signature and/or on your blog so potential clients can gain easy access to your statistics and reviews!
Buyers and sellers are able to search for you specifically or for agents in their area. Agents are ranked by home sales and potential clients can even narrow down the search to price range and other features. Another bonus is that buyers and sellers can input either their home wish list or details about their home and Homethinking will generate a list of agents that are bested suited to list their property! Visit HomeThinking.com to see what else is available or to get started!
It may seem scary at first to be completely transparent, but as you’ll soon find out, it will pay off in the end! Dare to have confidence and you’ll find buyers and sellers will respond to this open and honest approach! If you have questions or want help setting this up; ask your real estate virtual assistant!
Thanks,
