Past clients called me and are ready to make a lifestyle change. Back in 2005 I helped them sell their home and purchase a property on a large lot with plenty of place for a pool. The kids are now gone and it's time to "smart size". They want to be able to "lock and go" if they want to take off and travel and feel secure in leaving a smaller residence unoccupied.
I compiled their market analysis and we met and went over the numbers. The house has their relaxed touch of comfortability and the pool and grounds are spectacular!
We started laughing about looking for their last house and how we made an offer on another property and they just didn't feel right about it therefore terminated the offer. They drive by that house every day and always breathe a sigh of relief they didn't end up with that one!
Isn't it wonderful you can pick up right where you left off with past clients? It is about the "experience" that will bring clients back to you for repeat business. Counting on you to be knowledgeable and represent them with their best interests at heart is why they will want to work with you again and again. I've helped members of their family purchase homes and answered real estate questions throughout the years for them.
I'm grateful to say it's like old times working together again! If you are looking for this kind of service and moving in NW Austin please check out our website www.reloaustin.com or email me at dillard@reloaustin.com to schedule an appointment to review your needs.

'Smart size" I wish I would have done that years ago...I also need to learn to "smart dispose" of all that I have collected.
Great reminder of how much fun and relaxing it is to work with (most) previous clients!!

What a wonderful phrase. And yes I'm working on repeat transaction with some clients and it is wonderful to reconnect. They were surprised I remembered the kids and even the dogs names.

That is the biggest compliment you can get. All that time passes and they naturally come back to you. But then I wouldn't expect anything else.
