When It Ends

I just read an article about communication withdrawal between a real estate broker and his clients after a transaction closes. This particular broker was talking about the process. If you are buying a home, you are getting a lot of communication from your broker about seeing homes. When you have found "the home", we are texting and emailing about strategies for getting your offer accepted, updates about the offer, and hopefully the next step. We are meeting to do inspections of your new home and discussing the steps up and through meeting with escrow.

If you are selling your home, it is similar. We are meeting to discuss marketing your home and pricing strategies. There are lots of texts and emails with results of showings and open houses. Then we meet again to go over offers. There are calls about inspection results, the requirements for wells and septic. and when escrow will be contacting you.

Seriously, all being said, we have probably called, emailed, text and met hundreds of times during the course of our relationship. I have listened to your fears, frustrations, excitement and joy! Honestly, nothing makes me happier than seeing a new Buyer get their keys to their new home or a Seller selling their home so that they can move forward to the next chapter of their lives! This is truly the reason I went into real estate. It is making those things happen as smoothly as possible for my clients.

However once the transaction and the keys are delivered, there is a quietness the comes between us. I know you are probably very happy because you can unpack and get used to your new home. I don't blame you and I also enjoy a little quiet time too. Of course, I will follow up with you to see how things are going, how your family is and to make sure you are happy in your new home. You will hear from me occasionally.

When I finished that article, I mentioned earlier, I felt something was missing. You see, you have most likely made one of the biggest investments of your life so we have went through a pretty big experience together. We may not be BFF's, but we have developed an understanding and trust between us, and yes, even a friendship. Just because we don't talk daily, it doesn't mean I don't think of you and your family often. We have spent quite a bit of time together. I honestly love to hear from my past clients. I am so grateful to have met and helped each and everyone of you. And when you are ready to buy/sell your next home, I am here and am looking forward to talking even more!
