Real estate is a lot like farming. Some years, the crops are great. Mother Nature cooperates, the farmer plants at the right time and reaps the rewards. Other years, no matter what the farmer does right, Mother Nature decides to destroy everything the farmer plants. The farmer has to plan for these years, keeping reserves back to make it thru the bad years.
Real estate agents must work under the same conditions. They work throughout the year, farming their crops and planning for next year’s success or failure. Staying in touch with past clients, working referrals and staying up with new technology are some of the ways agents successfully handle their business today.
My daughter, Rhonda, and I work the websites daily. We know that over 95% of the buyers are now searching the web before they start looking with a realtor. By the time they are ready to buy, they know us quite well we know what they are searching for.
Many clients use the website for months before they decide to call us. We recently had a client that has been looking for over a year for property. Waiting for their home to sell in Tennessee, they continued to search Springfield Mo real estate, educating themselves on the market in the Springfield area. Rhonda stayed in touch with them and during the year, they made a trip over a weekend and spent time making sure they would be able to find a home quickly, once their home sold.
Last month they received an offer on their home and closed quickly. Within a few days after meeting with them, we had a home under contract and closed on their new home this week. They were able to move right in, keeping their personal belonging from going into storage.
If I hadn’t quit a career in banking twenty years ago to go into real estate, learning to farm, overcoming failures and striving to succeed, we would not still be helping others today.
Rhonda joined the team 5 years ago (having a background as a paralegal). Joining us in 2005 is Brian Peak, our bank foreclosure specialist. We know Springfield community, the different neighborhoods, and our endless enthusiasm to help others find their new home makes us a strong real estate team.
