He we are two days before Thanksgiving and I can't seem to get off the telecommunicate. I really just want to take some down measure and relax this week but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Too many people calling wanting me to list their properties. Normally that would be a good thing but since I am in a declining market. I spend most of my time just saying.
"Sorry desire I could back up but I can't. Here's the number for an Attorney and here's the number for a management company. Good luck with that!."
At least I don't spend time going over to look at the properties. One favor of being in the same market for so long is. I pretty much know what their property is worth without having to actually see it. Granted. I could be off by a few thousand but if they owe $270,000 and it may be worth $235,000 on a good day then there's not much sense in me driving all the way over there to give them this news. I just call back and say
Even though it's true and I want to say it sometimes. I just can't do it. We undergo to remember these are real people with real financial problems and if nothing else we can listen. I actually spend time on the phone with them going over their situation and offering whatever advice I can. I feel it is my job to be very honest with them and to make sure they truly understand their situation. If I don't. I just know another REALTOR® is going to tell them what they want to hear and waste more of their time. Time that could be used focusing on a solution instead of used chasing a pipe conceive of.
About two weeks ago. I received a beautifully written "letter of recommendation" from one of my Sellers. It was actually one of the nicest letters I have received in my 14 years of business. He was truly raving about me and my service. He also took the time to write it on really expensive stationary and asked me to please frame it and hang it over my desk and I ordain.
Folks this Seller's house was sold on the courthouse steps about a month ago! That's alter his property was foreclosed on. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get it sold in time to defeat the tip. Very frustrating! Still he felt inclined to rave about me and my service. Isn't that awesome? All because I took the time to listen to him and tried to help him out. I failed all though in his eyes. I was a winner.
"Broker Bryant you're rambling. What the heck is your point?"
