WHEN PUSHY COMES TO SHOVY

WHEN PUSHY COMES TO SHOVY

Clear communication is an important element in any relationship.

Nobody wants to deal with a pushy real estate agent who constantly hounds you for feedback.

At the same time, you don't want an agent who's never in touch and fails to serve your needs in a timely fashion.

In the early stages, many home buyers shy away from asking too many questions as they don’t want to waste the agent's time since they’re just getting started.

The truth is, your agent wants to hear from you every now and then so that they can continue to grow with you as your house-hunting journey evolves.

Everyone's needs are different though. Some clients require daily property updates while others who are just getting started prefer a more relaxed approach.

Your circumstances may change as time goes by so it’s important to adjust your search criteria as well as how often you receive notifications so that you’re not overwhelmed with unsuitable listings.

Effective communication is essential when it comes to forming and maintaining any relationship and a client/agent relationship is no different.

As long as you and your agent regularly communicate with one another during your house-hunting journey, you'll feel neither pressured nor abandoned.

NEIGHBOURHOOD NAME GAME

NEIGHBOURHOOD NAME GAME

Remembering someone’s name is the best compliment you can give!

People love it when you remember their name as it makes them feel as though they made a memorable impression on you.

Halloween’s a great opportunity to try and learn the names of people in your neighbourhood as everyone’s out trick-or-treating with their kids.

One of the best ways to remember someone's name is to say it out loud right away while working it into a conversation, i.e. “Hey Jim, I think I’ve seen you out walking your dog”.

Another trick is to visualize an image that relates to the sound of their name. For instance, if you meet someone called Abby, picture a bee.

Finally, you can always try to associate their name with a famous celebrity. There are many different tricks but at the end of the day, it’s important to focus on their name instead of what you’re going to say next.

It feels great when someone you hardly know remembers your name so this Halloween, make it a point to get out there and name some names!
