Question: How much time, energy, research, and conversation will you put into choosing your Realtor?
Continue to ponder that answer as you continue reading…
First, I heart Seth Godin. You know Seth, the author of some really cool books like: Purple Cow
Not only have I read all his books but I read Seth’s blog everyday as well. Why? I guess it boils down to his ‘perspective’ on all things.
Recently he wrote an article titled “The First Transaction.” His point being:
Why should a business expect a person who just walked into their store for the first time, or just found their website, or just met them at a Chamber of Commerce event to make a purchase that very moment?
What do you know about their business? About them? Do they create quality products? How do they treat you if it breaks and you need to return it? What are their current customers saying about them? Will they purchase from them again?
You’re not in the business of throwing your money away…
The digital world is making finding these answers easier and easier. Twitter, Facebook, Google search, blogs…
The internet makes it easy for us “to connect, transfer knowledge, engage in a way that builds trust” so that way one day you’ll “trust me enough to send some money my way.”
Or in my case, you’ll trust me enough to buy or sell your home with me.
Lets back-up to my original question: How much time, energy, research, and conversation will you put into choosing your Realtor?
First, if you’re selling your home, how much will you pay in commission fees to your Realtor?
If you’ve only just met, or you’ve only heard about your Realtor… Are you comfortable having your first transaction with this person being worth a few thousand dollars?
I bring this up because even if we’ve never met IRL (in real life) you’re able to know me by my 18+ months of writing about Wisconsin Rapids real estate here on this site. Or my 10 months writing on GoRapids.com. Or by following me on Twitter. Or Facebook. Or by Googling me.
By reading my articles you can see my ideas. You can know what’s important to me. You’ll know what to expect when we meet face to face.
I’m trying to make it easy for you to trust me… To make you feel comfortable…
How have I done?
