Oh I will!

Realtors who intend to stay in the real estate business understand it is imperative to build their business by providing the highest quality of service available, and then continuing to stay in touch with previous clients and contacts, providing what they hope will be valuable information. Why do they do that? Most people who stay in the real estate industry have an innate desire to help others. They really enjoy tackling tough problems, and feel a real sense of accomplishment when they succeed in assisting people achieve their goals. Real estate is frequently a very emotional business. Just think about the situations that cause people to buy or sell a home. Marriage, divorce, children, aging, job transfers, etc. These come with a whole slew of built-in stressors before even beginning to look at buying or selling a home. So it takes a certain type of person to time and again work through the process of walking someone through a sometimes frustrating, and/or difficult transaction. Of course, the goal is to make the real estate transaction as smooth as possible. A Realtor makes every effort to make sure that the client is always informed of the process, while allowing them to make the decisions. Once the transaction has been completed the hope of a good Realtor is the client will refer their friends and family when they need real estate help. Most clients say, "Oh, I will" when asked for a referral, and then the Realtor never hears from them. Referrals are the life blood of a successful Realtor. Referrals provide positive aspects for the newly referred buyer/seller, too. He or she feels more secure knowing this Realtor helped a friend. So if you have worked with a Realtor who did a good job, refer them. It will benefit your friends and help that Realtor grow his/her business.
