Am I too busy to sell your home?
Question:
“Hi Gary! We’re big fans of your newsletter and have been reading it for years. Silly question. We know you sell a lot of homes. We just have a small condo we want to sell. Are you too busy to handle that?”
Answer:
That’s a great question, not a silly one. 🙂
When I started in 1984, I was a jack-of-all-trades and master-of-few. I did it all, including:
- Knock on doors
- Call people for business
- Answer the phone
- Design marketing
- Show homes to people
- Filing
- Fill out reports
- Handle the banking
- List homes for sale
- Take photos
- Make keys
- Order signs
- Input data in the Multiple Listing Service
- Write ads
- Check my vacant homes to be sure they’re OK
- Write and negotiate contracts
- Handle paperwork
- Manage the transaction
- Follow up on all the details
- etc., etc…
But things are different now. Like a doctor or lawyer, my (talented) staff handles the daily routine affairs so I’m free to work closer with you and my other clients on the important things.
As long as it’s done right, do you care who takes the photo, copies the keys, or handles the disclosure forms?
I didn’t think so.
So I’m NOT too busy for the important things you expect from me. And because I’m fortunate to serve many clients, I can afford to hire and keep great people so that together we give you excellent service.
And the fact that my real estate practice is currently over 80% repeat and referral business attests to that.
Hope that makes you comfortable so you know you’ll be well taken care of.
Sorry…there I go with one of my l—o—n—g answers!
