The Reason To Answer Your Phone

4/19/23 

We had a  happy smooth closing yesterday, and I received this lovely letter from my appreciative, kind seller, now my friend. 

  ''She Answered My Call

If she had not answered my call I would have moved to the next realtor. Margaret Rome answers every call.

On or about March 4th, I was in need of a realtor to help me sell my home of twenty-five years. Initially I attempted this task on my own to no avail. The second week I was given inspiration to seek help, not just any help but Divine help. After searching the web through hundreds of seller’s agents, I was exhausted. I begin to honestly become whelmed with the possibilities and was to the point of closing my search for the day. Just one more click I said…suddenly this picture caught my eye.

Low and behold, I saw a picture that had the emblem of a video. It immediately got my attention and I clicked on it. That was the beginning of a wonderful relationship between me the seller and Margaret Rome my seller’s agent.

She has been straightforward with her business practice and has integrity. She knows the ends and outs of her profession. Ironically, we had many things in common. She has contacts throughout Maryland and she gets things done. She was my advocate and kept me abreast at all stages of this life changing transaction.

We were told at the settlement table that our settlement was unique. There were no harsh words nor bickering over minutiae between the buyer or the seller. Straightforward transaction and at the end I came away with lifelong friendships. Not all settlements are going to go as smoothly I understand that fact. But I can stand by this statement, “ you can’t lose with Margaret Rome.”  T.B."

 

Can you see why I love what I do?

I’m always a little cautious, but that should be expected with the amount of spam, but as soon as I see something familiar, I pick  up right away

It is so simple to answer the phone than be annoyed. Much business is lost by not picking up that phone when it rings.

The only time I don't answer the phone is when I am with someone, but I do call back once I am free. Great story of getting a new friend as well.

Great story, Margaret. I have always wondered why agents do not pick up their phones. What's the worst that can happen if you do? It's a spam call. Hang up and block. But why miss out on great business opportunities by not doing so. I'm also always taken aback when I do answer my phone and the person on the other end is surprised that they are actually speaking with me.

Nina Hollander, Broker, We have the same experiences. Our callers are surprised when we do answer, and they don't have to go through VM.

If I am available (not already in a meeting or with a client) I always answer my phone.  It's just good business.  Best complement you can receive is from a past client who gives you praise!  And you are so worthy of the great praises you receive from clients and other agents who have met you! Congratulations Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400
