Ep. 114: Your Clients Want to Hear From You!
Can you imagine putting your house on the market, and hearing nothing for months?\n\nI recently shared about my experiences as a second home buyer, but did you know that I also sold a second home? In this Tip Tuesday, I\u2019m here to share my perspective - but this time, as the seller.\n\nAnytime that you sell a house, it can take a while. Maybe it\u2019s a slower market, maybe it\u2019s time to lower the price. Maybe there aren\u2019t a lot of open houses. You know that it can take a while for anything to happen, and the seller can quickly start to wonder what is going on.\n\nHow can you avoid these transactions from becoming a nightmare, both for you and your clients?\n\nCommunication is a huge element! Radio silence is no good. Don\u2019t have anything to share? Then call the seller to say that you love them! Keep them updated, and give them ideas on what they can do to help move the house. \n\nThanks for joining us on Selling the Dream - we wouldn\u2019t be where we are without you listening, and giving your feedback!

Tell them how they could help things move along. Maybe more open houses, maybe lower the price. \n\n\nDon\u2019t have anything to share? Just tell them that you love them!
