Are you keeping your Seller Happy or do you keep your Seller Happy? Are you doing the things that today’s Seller’s have come to expect? Do you wimp out and provide services to Seller’s that you know do not produce results, yet you do them anyhow because your trapped by the old cliche ” You have to Keep Your Seller’s Happy ! ”
Keeping your Seller Happy is of course what we all want to do. Yet too often we substitute sound business practices with expensive activities that do not produce results under the guise that we are keeping our Seller’s Happy. With only so much money available to be spent especially in today’s market, working Smart is imperative.
There is only one activity that will keep any Seller happy and that is a Sale. Yet there is not a day that goes by that I don’t read or hear those awful words ” You have to keep your Seller Happy “. Mean while each and every year we spend untold hundreds if not thousands of dollars on seminars, books and the like, hoping to find new ways to advertise and promote our properties. Yet when push comes to shove many of us immediately cave in to the old mantra of Keeping Our Seller Happy.
The one thing that we are taught early on in our business as professional real estate sales people and Broker’s is to promote our selves as professionals. After all we do have a license by the State to conduct real estate activity. And don’t we all participate in continuing education as required by the Real Estate Agency in order to maintain that License. Yet we often allow ourselves to be manipulated by those who would employ us for our expertise and knowledge into working passive marketing techniques that we know will produce little or no results.
I ask you. How much respect would you have for your Doctor or your Attorney if they allowed you to dictate to them how they should conduct their business while representing you?
It is time for us all to stand up, create and execute a plan for marketing our homes with conviction. For we are the professionals and it is time we started acting like it!
