THE ART OF SELLING REAL ESTATE On tRANSITION. ON COMPASSION. “…walks aren’t taken with just a nod or smile to a neighbor, now there are real conversations with compassion and concern. It has made me feel even more proud of the community where I live. I landed in the perfect spot!” -Anne Milner ON QUARANTINE. “…this gives me time to call clients and friends to check on how they are doing in isolation, and it also allows me the chance to identify potential off-market opportunities for my most discerning clients during this period of reduced inventory.” -Rob Gill ON SHOWINGS. “…I’ve made a number of changes to the way I do business, including listing appointments via Zoom and adapted showings to keep my clients and myself safe. I’ve urged my clients to take advantage of curbside closings and virtual closings.” -Jess Cooke Scarborough ON PRODUCTIVITY. “…I have actually increased my productivity and customer service during this time. By automating and delegating, I am able to spend more time focusing on my customers, and creating impactful marketing programs.” -Christy Harris ON PERSPECTIVE. “…people are kind, considerate and encouraging. With adversity comes perspective. I think it gives people a time to reflect on how many things there are to be thankful for in life.” -Kristen Sodemann ON ADAPTING. “…it’s been a little heartbreaking not being able to hug my clients at showings or see them smile ear to ear at the closing table when I hand them their keys. On the other hand, it’s fun thinking of new creative marketing strategies like virtual open houses and giveaways to support local businesses.” -Lindley Knight
