Ok... Today I received showing feedback from a "Real Estate Trainer" that made me cringe just a little. It inspired me to write this small BLOG about it. AND, it inspired me to write the BLOG with TIPS! Because as Realtors, we have to be better everyday.
So, here at TPR Properties we always follow up with agents who have viewed one of our listings. TIP#1 - Always follow up. As part of our follow up, we ask for feedback that we can share with our client. TIP#2 - Include a property picture with the email request as many agents show more than one home at a time. We like to keep it simple.
This is exactly what our email says...
Back to the response today that made me write this BLOG... "No interest here. They objected to the home backing up to a busy road." This is from a Real Estate Trainer. TIP#3 - Google Maps. Maybe it is just me, but why show the home without knowing this fact and discussing it with the buyer BEFORE showing the home? TIP#4 - Remember your time, your client's time and the seller's time are valuable.
It doesn't make sense to me that an agent would show a home that backs to a "busy road" unless the client already knows it and does not have an issue with that detail.
Anyway, I am sure you all have stories. This is just one of many. The thing that made me want to share is the fact this agent states in their email signature line that they are a "Real Estate Trainer". Forgive me for having expected a higher level of quality.
If you have a similar story today, please share and add a few TIPS. LOL! Thanks! Maybe we can start a forum that addresses the everyday common sense training points that agents should just know...
