It Pays to have an Agent who Networks
Networking and attending marketing meetings can be very beneficial for both the listing and buyers agent. Example: In November I had a nice couple who was looking to purchase a Ranch Style home, and the only requirement was a front porch. Sure, they would like hardwood floors, but that was not a requirement. The Association that I belong to (Aurora Association of Realtor's) has a weekly marketing meeting where we hear from a speaker and then pitch our listings, as well as buyer wants and needs. I stood up in November and said I had a buyer and this is what they were looking for, as we had seen everything on the market. Another agent who I know from the board stood up shortly there after and pitched a listing of a home that was perfect for my buyers. They purchased it, and even the lender was an affiliate member of our Association. Below is a recommendation from that buyer who is elated to have their ranch style home with a front porch, and the entire main level has hardwood flooring. I love it when I can find the perfect home for a buyer, it is so rewarding!
