Number 1 Key to Success

Yes, communication is the key not only to successfully closing on your new house while keeping in touch with your Realtor and communicating with your Lender but it’s true in LIFE.    Businesses fail and the primary reason usually breaks down to lack of communication. Marriages end in divorce and the primary reason is lack of communication. Wars are fought and you know the rest…

In this age of email and smart phones communication has become easier and yet, there are so many who fail to communicate.  Short Sales would run a lot smoother if banks and agents communicated at least on a weekly basis to keep each other and their clients updated.  There’s nothing like feeling as though you are in a “black hole,” which is where many home buyers in today’s real estate market who are buying Short Sales seem to be.

I make an effort to pick the phone up and actually call people…a lost art!  You can tell a lot by listening to someone’s voice.  The apprehension, the excitement, the anger, the indecision and yes the happiness with a job well done…these are things that are guessed at with emails and text messages.

Yes, we are a busy society where emails  and text messages have their place but don’t sacrifice reaching out to someone every now and then by just making that personal call.

Have you ever been frustrated waiting for an answer or hoping someone would call with an update and no one called?

I can honestly say that none of my clients are ever not informed or kept up-to-date.  It’s part of my business plan.  Won’t you make it part of yours?
