Interesting this just occurred yesterday at a party I attended. I came directly from and open house and forgot to take off my name badge, it did spark some conversation and 2 referrals.
So I highly recommended wearing your badge, sparking conversation with others
and being honest about your market, because opportunities so exist in areas of the present real estate market

Comment on Creating Urgency with Buyers

2010-10-09T01:56:03Z

Today's buyers are a rare breed so to speak, one of the most important keys I find is revisiting the original reason they wanted to move the first place.
I find when you bring back those original feelings they not only think about it but are enticed to make more reasonable choices, and listen to reason when it comes time to move forward...
Fear is one of the biggest emotions that disempower people leading to them being paralyzed in to making any decisions,and,in moving forward in their best interest. This occurred to me two times already in the past two months. My sellers are all ready to move forward and the buyer on the other side, froze up and shrinked to back out of both deals and requested the initial deposit checks back stating they are afraid to move forward/coldfeet (as noted by the buyers agent). So my comment would be buyer agents do you homework understand your buyers and properly prepare them so they feel confident, ready to step up and follow through on their actions needed to support a positive ongoing transaction for everyone involved. Rich's ideas are supported by me... thanks Rich...

Comment on Saving Your Deals

I absolutely agree that real estate is all about relationships. It is also about trust, integrity, honesty, truth, education, commitment and a variety of other values. One of the keys so important to impress on other, is the fact that relationships are continuous before, during and after the transaction. Not only will that create long lasting relationships, it will continue to keep you top of mind with all clients, and other professionals.
Seems so simple but many agents forget this very important detail. Recent "Nar" statistics results noted that over 80% of people will do other transaction with their past real estate agent, yet only about 11% or so occurs with their past agents. The main reason was because the agent did not keep in touch with their past clients.. a lesson to be learned by all...stay in touch, continue to build relationships to remain top of mind with whomever you do business with...
