Aug. 15, 2009 - Dallas Real Estate Market is Coming Alive
RISMEDIA, July, 2009 - Some of you may remember a few years back when a Harris Poll survey found that REALTORS(R) were named among the Top 12 Most Trusted Professionals in America. This was several notches below nurses, doctors and pharmacists, but comfortably above attorneys, stockbrokers and sales professionals in a number of other industries. In fact, while sales professionals as a whole rated somewhere midway on the "most trusted" scale, Realtors consistently garnered the top rating among the entire sales group. That is a reassuring statistic to remember at this particular point in time, when our industry is beginning to pick up and dust off after a challenging economic downturn. With several indicators suggesting, the economy is set to rebound, what must we do to polish our image as trusted advisers and restore consumer confidence going forward?
MartiP's answer to this is "Customer Service First"! Listen and do what the customer wants! In this high tech society - most consumers are shopping the internet before ever contacting a real estate professional. We must be willing to post and give out information about the houses we represent so the consumers know they can trust us. And who are they going to trust the most? Those of us who readily offer information about houses! You see it is not about us - but about them! The days of our hiding our MLS information are over and the sooner we all are on the "Social Networking Band Wagon" the sooner we all will have our share of the business! No doubt the consumers know that our keeping up with all that there is to do in the life of a real estate professional is a daunting task - but the consumers will respect us more in the long run if we will just share information with them... MartiP.com is a real estate professional who is never to busy for you or your referrals and would appreciate the opportunity to serve you and/or them with a high tech - high touch kind of personal real estate service...
