Have a question...As a REALTOR, if you are at a vacant property showing your client the home and another REALTOR approaches with their clients (as this property is a "go and show"), would you block entry of the other REALTOR and then relock the door, tumble the lockbox and then leave to have the other REALTOR re-open both the lockbox and the door? I ask because I had an agent do this to me yesterday and my clients turned to her clients and told them point blank that they needed a new REALTOR. (And, while looking shocked at what the REALTOR did to me, I never said a word.)
Okay...so to follow on from Susan Milner's question regarding marketing, I need to "freshen up" my mailing pieces for FSBO and short sale Expired listings...any suggestions on what you have used (wording wise) that you have had success with?
I would agree with you on this Matt (normally) but our area is not really normal right now. A well priced, good condition property can be on the market for a mere 24-48 hours down here. I usually have other agents say to me, if your buyers are upstairs, can I show downstairs? My reply, "sure! the more the merrier!" Most buyers and other agents down here (that I have normally encountered - other than yesterday) are pretty accommodating due to the marketplace. And I tend to be pretty accommodating too. Cindy, if I had not been in a tight security gated community, I would have locked the door behind me but as I knew the area, the community and the fact that the development is like Fort Knox, I did not feel the need to lock the door behind me.
Postcards are my main piece but sometimes I do personal letters...I like the visual impact of a postcard. I do want to freshen them up a bit though.
Darcy what wording did you use on the mailing that captured that expired that you are now closing on this month?
Irene, I guess I do things a bit differently...I tend to acknowledge the other agent and warmly chat with them and ask them their preference - if they don't mind showing while I am showing or if they wish to wait. That is where I think the courtesy lies - in communication with colleagues.
i listened to a great webinar where the agent takes into consideration the four personality types taught as DISC and aims a piece at each personality type. Seemed great, but was too expensive for me at this time.
Gia, I will write it down right now so I don't forget ;)
I called Bank of America today and told them I knew Jesus was alive but wanted to check
Gia Freer, sounds like that other agent may have been preoccupied with something else. Perhaps she was putting out a "fire" of sorts and wasn't in a position to be chatty? Either way, sounds like you handled it like a pro and just went with the flow. Sometimes we can't predict the personalities of the colleagues we come across.
A very interesting and real concern....
