Don’t Be Like Mike…. Be Like Fats!!
December 30th, 2007 Categories: Surprise AZ Real Estate
For all you jazz lovers out there, you would know I am referring to Fats Waller. Who sings a song that has a main chorus that says: “Find out what they like and how they like it and let em’ have it just that way.”
This should apply to all Real Estate agents today. 
Customer service is essential in today’s market, followed by Communication, and Knowledge and Experience.
Customer Service is a vital part of my business plan. With longer days on market I have to keep my clients abreast of what is going on around them. It is all the little things that matter such as keeping the flier box full, making sure my sign is not hanging after a monsoon, or doing a vacancy check on a empty investment home. You can always expect this level of service from a professional local real estate agent.
