We get caught up in all the latest technology the newest software the various tricks and techniques to build our business.
But people don’t want tricks and techniques, People want to be taken care of.
Derek Sivers, the founder of the internet company CD BABY says that one of the most successful things he did to build the company was
to tell everyone that if the phone rang, it should be answered within 2 rings. If the person next to you is busy, answer the call for them, take a message or transfer them to the right person. People want human contact. Clients loved calling CD BABY, because they knew they would always get a real person on the phone.
Answer the phone.
Do what you say you are going to do.
Repeat.
Success will follow.
San Diego home sellers and San Diego home buyers want to talk to a real live person when they call. I know this because I want to talk to a real live person when I make a call. If my call is not urgent, I can be patient for a return call, but I know this about me, I want to know when approximately that will happen.
I’ve noticed in the real estate world that many real estate agents have a message that says “I will return your call at my earliest convenience.” I do not like that and you will never get that type of a message when calling my San Diego real estate office.
At San Diego based Horizon Real Estate, we always strive to answer calls from San Diego buyers, sellers and even other real estate agents in person. When that can’t happen because the team is busy helping our home sellers negotiate San Diego real estate offers or helping San Diego home buyers find their next home, we have what I call “real time voice messaging.” The message at Horizon Real Estate always clearly states when you can expect a return call.
You can feel comfortable knowing that we have the newest technology and systems in place to provide a great experience for all our San Diego real estate clients. We love our technology and it’s important that you have a great experience when involved with San Diego real estate and Horizon Real Estate. We will always do our best to 1. Answer the phone, 2. Do what we say we are going to do, 3. Repeat.
