My first blog attempt: Robocalls

Recently I have become increasingly concerned about the way a lot of real estate agents prospect for business. While I admire those creative individuals who find clever ways to engage their prospective clients, I worry about the perceived integrity of the profession when agents and brokers are encouraged to basically "Robocall" every expired or withdrawn listing, starting at 7:30 am, with pre-written scripts, in hopes that 3 people in 100 will be persuaded to list with them. There are companies that actually provided these lists for a fee.

Many business models use these tactics with the understanding that you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince. It is my thought that you may find a prince every now and then, but how many frogs did you have to p**s off.
I get at least 5 - 10 calls a day, that interrupt me, only to be one of those 97 out of 100. In my business, I don't like to miss a call, but when you call me, don't wait 2 seconds to speak after I answer, If you do, please forgive me for being rude.

That said:
Hiring a real estate agent is like hiring a quarterback. You want to try to find that agent that will help you to make the right calls, negotiate in your best interest, understands the process and ultimately gets you your desired result.
I would rather spend my time working with clients, than spend my time chatting with frogs.

I would love your thoughts.

Just a word to those of you contemplating selling in the next three to four months. Interest rates are still low and demand for our area is HIGH! If you have been giving any thought to selling, now is the time to give it thought. Please let me know if you have been thinking along these lines and I will be glad to sit down with you and discuss the numbers and the possibilities.
