Here's to You!

Tagged with: service, thank you

This year 2007 has been a busy one for us with the opening of our expanded space for the Beachcomber Properties real estate office and the addition of Beachcomber Snow next door where my husband, James, is planning to kick off his beverage business in the New Year.

I won’t deny the real estate market in Glynn County and the Golden Isles for 2007 was down some from the previous 3 years, but we are still seeing growth and I firmly believe that our area is a good investment for the future. I have put “my money where my mouth is” with the office expansion and the addition of an office manager to assist the agents and provide contact support to you as my clients. We want to provide first-rate service to our customers and strive to be on the cutting edge of today’s market.

With only a few days left before we all are snowed under with our Christmas celebrations, allow me to use this medium to express my sincere wishes for a blessed, safe holiday season to you and yours. I appreciate you all so very much and hope to hear from you soon.

Daily Property Updates:

If you already own property in Glynn County or are interested in property ownership in our wonderful area, I'd like to keep you informed of changes and additions to area inventory for sale. I can shoot you an email each day there are changes such as new contracts or closed transactions as well as new listings as soon as they hit the market. Should you have friends or family that also may be interested in getting up to the minute information on an area or particular neighborhood, I would love to accommodate them as well.

Kindly let me know if this service would be one you'd like me to provide and I will gladly check your search criteria in our local MLS system each day. If there is someone who doesn't have email that is no problem---delivery by mail is another option.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Do you ever feel like a Dinosaur?

I feel older than Dirt!

I have been reading in our local newspaper articles on new methods in which students are being taught in our school system. Reference has been made to the “smart board” which has taken the place of the old chalkboard my age group was familiar with. These electronic boards sound much like a video game to me with the children using some gizmo at their desks to register their answers electronically! Another recent article spoke of the decline in penmanship of our youth, as they seldom write anything but instead type on their keyboards or text message each other. The task of writing out a paper has become an ordeal that the students of today choose to reject. I, too, only handwrite short notes today and favor a computer-generated letter if the content is of any length. Isn’t it exciting to speculate on what technological advances we will witness in the next decade?

I do admit that the modern practice of companies using an automated telephone system is one that often vexes me. The day of talking to a live person initially wasn’t at all bad! In our competitive business, I believe real estate professionals that remember the art of providing personal service are the ones that get those all-important repeat customers and their referrals. Technology is wonderful when it works hand-in-hand with individual service.

P. S. - Never be afraid to try something new. Remember: Amateurs...built the ark. Professionals...built the Titanic
