Traditionally, real estate is viewed as a commodity. But opinions are changing. Agencies across the country believe that the key to success in real estate is service - not sale. Competition and technology now offer customers unlimited options, so agents have to work hard and spend a lot of money to win a list. They find that business success comes from repeated business and word of mouth. And customer service is key. Loyalty and good will cannot be bought - even with the sale of a house. Customers like to be treated with honesty, respect, and integrity. They want an accurate and accurate asset test. They want an agent committed to action. They want to be able to talk to someone who can help them when they call. They want to feel welcome when they walk into an office. They do not want their intelligence to be insulted by advertising. They don't want to be fed online (even if that's what they'd like to hear…). Business-minded agents know that if they can provide this customer service - if they can open a good customer service with a location for sale - they will have a real edge over their competitors. Rather than being a barrier to success, they see today's market as an opportunity for prosperity. Obviously, sales are still important, but they are part of a larger context - almost like a critical KPI (Key Performance Indicator). Based on a simple structure - use and sell. The basis is true because all previous sales requirements are part of a good customer service: Price is real, marketing is smart, advertising is right, and bonds are made and maintained. Retailers, buyers, homeowners, and tenants alike experience the same high level of customer service. 5 quick tips for finding a service-focused agent 1) Ask to see references - Not so different from job interviews. Think of an agent as a job seeker, and encourage them to prove their customer service qualifications. The right agent will be very happy to give you as many clues as you would like. 2) Analyze the growth of their business - Assuming their indicators are organized, ask after their business growth. References give you quality proof of customer focus. You should add this for something of the volume. If the agent is still growing rapidly in the modern environment, then he or she should be doing something right. 3) Analyze their market share - As growth, market share can become an indicator of customer focus. Ask what their target market share is. 4) Look at their behavior - Do they return calls? Are they committing themselves to action? Are they meeting their obligations? Are they punctual? Do they always appreciate it? Do they remember the important information you gave them? 5) Gauge access for staff - When you first arrived, were you able to talk to someone who could help you? If not - if they took your name and number and told you they would find someone to call you again, this could be an indication of their customer service approach.
