PDX REAL ESTATE: One Year Later... "Mr. Owner Maintain Your Home!"

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Equity Group, Inc.

OK, a year has gone by since you helped the Smith-Joneses buy their dream-home. At the time you noticed the two humongous broad-leafed Maples that overhung the front roof-line. Now you have the perfect opportunity to call and say: "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Smith-Jones, I'm just calling to remind you to get that gutter service over as soon as possible to make sure the water is going off the roof properly." What a great way to stay in touch and ensure your buyer's home is being well maintained, thus avoiding deferred maintenance issues when you eventually help them sell.  Happy November!

That is a good way of keeping in touch.  Though they may think your are a stalker if you call too much about outside issues.

Showing your clients that you remember them, and continue to care will set you apart as a realtor -- and help maintain the relationship.  I'm sure using these techniques provides you many referrals as well!
