 Busy but Not too Busy....Such a Fine Line

 

Interesting conversation today with a couple of clients...Busy as Can Be

It is pretty common for me to get phone calls from previous clients...

With over 17 years of Real Estate experience ....you can imagine that I have many previous clients I am still in contact with ...

Whether it be on the phone or running into them around Nampa Idaho...

Today caught me a bit off guard...

First was a phone call from a gentleman who I sold a home to about 2 years ago.....His comment was "I know you were busy last time I talked to you ..... do you have time to meet with us..."

Needless to say I was thrilled to hear from him .... with life changes he may need to sell now... and yes I do have time for him....

I next visited a wonderful little place that I like to go and relax at.   The owner of the shoppe had mentioned in a Facebook chat that she was in the process of moving....and that things were hectic....

I asked her if they had a Realtor.....she said no....that she had mentioned it to her Folks but didn't know if I was to busy to help them....and that she would have them call to talk to me about the house hunting tools I have available to Buyers in the Nampa Area

Yikes....2 in one day.  

Business is great in my area....and yes I am busy....

BUT I am never to busy to help a client out.... whether they are a new to me client or a previous client that needs to do some thing different.

As a Realtor I wear many hats....they all keep me very Busy.....hence the nick name BZYBEE.....but I will always rearrange my schedule of Busy-ness to show property or to do a Market Analysis so a client can sell their home. 

Referrals and People are my Job.....

Some times we get mired up in paperwork or online Social Media....

Yes that is important but People are more important to me....

And .....No I am not to Busy for You!!!! 

Call today for your Personal Appointment...

Great to get the leads. I try hard to give the impression that I am never too busy to help anyone.

Deborah, It is always good to have people think we are busy... BUT never too busy for them. I have had people ask me that too and i always find that surprising.

That's fascinating. Second post I've read today indicating that social media can get in the way. It's funny the perception that our clients can take isn't it?

Well.. in all fairness... your name is BZY BEE. :-)  One must assume you are busy.  That is great that prospects are contacting you. Its good to stay busy without being too busy to help new or previous clients.

I am so busy its literally stupid right now. Now with that said EVERY client knows I would rather be working 10-12hrs/day and running a tad behind than be current and waiting anxiously for the next call. Fine line but if you set the tone and understanding upfront all appreciate the fact you are busy and will wait as that is a good sign for all involved

Wow, Deborah. It is funny how clients perceive us and guess it is our job to make sure they understand we are always available for their needs. Great news that your clients call you instead of you having to follow up and call them Deborah, you obviously do something right!
