Its All About Relationships

Its All About Relationships

 

The key to any business is the relationship that a business builds with their clients. The same is true in real estate in Long Beach California. We must build strong long lasting relationships with our friends, family and clients…and keep them going.

I think we all do business with people we know, like and trust. One of my neighbors put their home on the market with another Realtor. Now, I could react in a negative way and get depressed. But the reality is that, my neighbor has had a long time friendship with a local real estate broker in town. And, I always knew that they would call him to sell their home….although it’s been four months now…and it still remains on the market.

I will truly miss them as neighbors when they sell their home.

I reminded myself today, that the key to our business is building long term relationships with people we know and staying in touch with them. That’s why we mail to and meet with our friends, family and clients…we enjoy building long term relationships with people.

How to Save Time Searching for a Long Beach Property

Filed under: Home Buyers, Long Beach Real Estate — Tags: , — Jay Valento @ 12:27 pm

Searching for homes or condos online in Long Beach, California can be thrilling as well as a chore. We have learned over the past 15 years of real estate that to save a buyer time, it is best to meet and talk about their real estate plans in the beginning.

It helps in two areas, to help you, the buyer, get clear on exactly what you are looking and to make sure you are qualified to buy. Do it up front and it will save you hours of time. The property time saver system we developed over the years…I guess I should give it some fancy title by now. Perhaps you can give me some ideas. You can still search for homes online while we looking quicker through the local real estate multiple listing service (mls) every few hours with a special automated program that we use. When your criteria matched a new listing during that time frame, that property would be automatically emailed to you.

Then, you can preview the property by viewing the email and clicking on the Yahoo Map link to where the home was located. Plus, it gave clients the ability to get a jump on their competition for a home. To find out more about this time saving program, go to Long Beach Home Finder
