The 4th of July was very hectic for myself and our staff of Realtors.
Holidays are a perfect time for people to look at Real Estate.
With a long weekend potential buyers have the opportunity to view homes of interest.
I don`t know about you,but i look forward to these holidays as a positive not negative.
Yesterday, someone was complaining about their telephone ringing and how her clients "Had no consideration towards her", this agent felt these people were annoying her long weekend.
I had to laugh. In case this agent forgot the "Telephone is our lifeline of success". The more it rings the more opportunities we as Realtors have of applying our trade.
There are "Motivational Speakers" who claim you should conduct you`re Real Estate business like a Doctor or Attorney, you should only answer the telephone from the hours of 12:00-1:00PM and from 5:00-6:00PM. What happens in between?
People call Realtors based on shear motivation, simply put "They`re looking to speak to someone immediately, they don`t want to wait around for someone to call them back!"
In case you haven`t noticed many "Top Producers" have done away with those fancy 800`s number`s because they`ve lost tons of potential business.
Many finally realized the clients want to have "Human Contact" and learn about a home rather than hearing a recording.
If you`re having issues answering the telephone on holidays,maybe it`s time to reevaluate why you`re actually in the business.
This is a service oriented business where answering a telephone is part of the cost of doing business..
