Hello Everyone, I have been asked to start a blog, so here we go, for those who have attended any of my programs you know that I am a true believer of learning from each others experiences, and that is the goal of this blog to share information and learn from each other, so your honest comments on improving our safety and security are appreciated, We are starting with Listing Appointments, Why this topic? Let me ask you a question? When the phone rings or email comes in and someone say’s…

Client        I saw a home on 123 Maple St.  I am interested in looking at it.

Agent        Great, Are you working with anyone? When do you want to see it?

Client        Tonight 6:30 p.m.

Agent     I will meet you there – let me get a name/phone number in case something comes up.

Gather information on the property, get information on similar properties, practice your pitch, buyer’s agreement, etc…go meet the potential buyer at the property.

Is this what we normally do, please share your process for listing appointments???

Just remember ….Real estate agents have daily, one-on-one contact with virtual strangers and make themselves relatively easy targets for criminals. The National Association of Realtors reports an increase in crimes against real estate agents in recent years. Crimes range from minor thefts to assaults, rapes and even murder.
