Working harder for your sellers - Ensures future referrals for years to come.

One of my favorite agents does a ton of work for her sellers and it is helping her business.  She helps de-clutter and stage with her own furniture. She puts out flowers in and outside of the home and cleans the houses that she has listed on a regular basis.  She even cuts the grass for some of them that are not able.  This helps her get noticed with the neighbors and that helps her get more listings too.  

Like many of you, this realtor told me that she wants to work hard for her sellers and earn her commission.  The better her listings look, the quicker they'll sell and this is working for her and her sellers.  

Not only are her listings selling, but she is getting a strong reputation in the city for being a great listing agent.  Beyond the obvious, she feels better about her service to her sellers and this gives her a lot to update the sellers on that keeps them happy with her service for them. 

I am sure that these sellers are talking very highly about "their real estate agent" to their family, friends and neighbors and that keeps those future referrals coming in for years to come.

Lastly, by spending more time at your listings, you are going to see more of the neighbors and run into more prospective buyers and others are going to see you there too, all helping your business.

What are you doing out of the ordinary for your sellers?

Yuppers, my hubby hoses off the decks, and weeps the driveways,  I have hired at my own expense  window washers to do all of the huge windows inside and out.   

Then after the buyers buy I check on them as well.    

A lot of the homes here are professionally staged.   Most of them are improved with the services.

Since purchasing a home and then moving and the closing and all is a huge stressor, I think anything the realtor can do to make the transition easier is appreciated by 99% of the clientelle we serve.

Sam in addition to making sure I get people to come see the house I work with my sellers to “make their house better” whether that is repairs, upgrades or staging so that once people see it they are more likely to make an offer.

Sam -- underpromise/overdeliver, constant communication and above all honesty even in a situation where it may be uncomfortable to hear and/or deliver.
