The phone rings…I answer the phone and it is a nice pleasant voice on the other end. She is inquiring about a house I have for sale.  She asks me how many bedrooms it is & what is the square footage.  I reply that it is a big 3 bedroom at 1811 sq ft & ask if that is what she is looking for.  “Susie” replies that is really not what she wants.  This buyer is very smart, knows what her families needs are & has been looking for awhile.  She has even seen inside other properties & has come super close to purchasing one of them. 

THOUGHTS to PONDER:  why hasn’t a realtor been picked to help her thru this whole process?

continued…  We talk further & I offer a couple of times to email her properties that fit her needs.  I also ask about her having a committed realtor to help her get the perfect home.  She self-discovers that she is searching in a hot price range (ie…everything she likes gets multiple offers before they can jump on it).  We talk further about the market & how she is really not interested in purchasing a “short sale”, because they take too long to possibly not even get the house in the end.  HERE is the BRILLIANT QUOTE:

“THEY SHOULD BE CALLED LONG SALES not short sales, since they take so long”

answer to pondering thoughts:  If you are a “Susie”, I would love to be committed to be your realtor of choice.  It can be a cohesive relationship, where i can help you get a great deal & you could be my first call, when I recognize a great deal coming.  I love my job and committing to my clients to help fill their housing needs while we work together to make it happen.
