A Valentine Reminder from a Local Inspector, Keeps them on Our Minds.

A Valentine Reminder from a Local Home Inspector,

Keeps Them on Our Minds.

Whenever a client needs a Real Estate agent, we always want them to think of us first. The same goes for other businesses.  We have a local Home Inspector who has set the example to follow, when it comes to reminding clients that they are available when needed.

Jamie and Donna Miller, started a home inspection service before I started in Real Estate in 2009.  I remember them stopping by with home-made cookies that Donna made, or note pads and pens whenever they were in the area.

Their company, Gold Key Inspections, has grown since them, adding more inspectors and always giving great service.  Now that we have our own Brokerage, they will stop by occasionally to say hello, bringing their latest brochures and information.

Yesterday, Donna showed up with balloons and some homemade Gingersnap cookies with white chocolate icing.. I hope you enjoy the recipe, down below:

 

 

We have incorporated the same type of system in our business, where we "Pop By" our past clients and drop off a little something, just as a reminder to them, that we are available for all their Real Estate needs and of course we ask them to remember us for referrals.

How nice that was even though I didn't get to see any of those cookies, Larry. These home inspectors are making themselves top of mind with you. Great marketing.

It surely beats throwing a note pad on the front porch and hoping a home owner will pick it up and say, oh my gosh, I totally forgot that I need to find a Realtor. Where oh where will I find such a person? Oh, my gosh, what a coincicidence, here is a guy I could call and I'm holding his number in my hand right now, I could fall to the ground and kiss it. Laugh as you may, this is how many people find an agent.

I can't deny it, but Evelyn Johnston  came to the rescue.  She had already taken a picture of the cookies.  She's Good!
