| Mistake #9: An Agent Who Treats Buyers Badly | E-mail | |
 If you have ever tried to buy a home you will know exactly what this means. Buyers like to deal with agents who will listen to them. But thousands of buyers complain at the lack of courtesy from agents - especially when it comes to returning phone calls or keeping in touch. Many agents advertise constantly rather than keeping in touch with buyers who enquire to their offices. This is inefficient, incompetent and lazy. Agents often tell sellers that they have to "find a buyer". But this makes almost no sense. If the agent is efficient the agent should already know who is looking to buy because all buyers come in to an area before they buy. It's obvious, but most of us don't think about it like that. If the agent does not treat buyers well, it means the agent is losing the people you need. Stay away from such agents. Your solution: Just as buyers go to agents and say, "What homes do you have?", you, as a seller, should say to an agent, "What buyers do you have?" The best agents keep in contact with buyers and they keep accurate records. They know who is buying, what they are looking for and how much they can pay. They treat buyers with respect and courtesy. This means that the best and most efficient agents have immediate access to the best buyers. Don't judge agents by their advertisements, judge them on how they treat buyers. |

Dear Filipp, After an arduous and lengthy search for a suitable home, I recently purchased a property through Peter FitzGerald Real Estate. I would like to take this opportunuty to thank you for asking and listerning to the type of place that I was looking for. As soon as I had explained my ideal one, you outlined a property that you were soon to list. Even though there was a tenant living in the property, you managed to arrange a viewing the following day for me. As soon as I viewed this property, I realized that not only did it meet with my expectations but exceeded them on a number of levels. I thought it was well located, charming, stylishly renovated, it had grand views and as well as that was well within my budget. Throughout the entire purchase process you acted in a very professional, personable and efficent manner. You followed up with any questions that I had in a prompt, and sometimes, patient manner and you kept up-to-date with the progress of the contractual obligations to ensure it all went smoothly. I would not hesitate in recommending you to anyone who is searching for a property and would like to wish you all the best for the future! Annemarie Chambers - Wollongong |
