How ‘Bout That Weather? (+6 Signs It’s Time To Sell)

Posted on: September 13th, 2017 by Tim Garcia

Weather across the nation has been rather…volatile (yeah, that’s putting it mildly).
From Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Jose, to intermittent thunderstorms during a 107°+ heat wave in the local San Francisco Bay Area – weather is a hot (and somewhat terrifying) topic these days, to say the least.

You care about your clients, right?
Then, why not express it more often and at every relevant, honest chance you get (i.e. – in light of these bizarre weather patterns, show some urgent, genuine concern for folks’ well-being as we head into an unpredictable fall/winter season)?

What does that mean and look like?
It means delivering professional, top-notch resources they need to fully safeguard their home, family and property. It looks like a home care networking system called “Homebrella” that connects your homeowners and you with quality service providers in their specific area to ensure every (potentially life-saving) job gets done in advance.

So, pick up the phone and start a conversation:

Hey there _____! How’ve you been?
Just wanted to give you a ring and see how you were doing.

Can you believe all of this extreme weather?
It’s tragic and frightening to think where conditions that devastating could hit next.

(If they live in affected/devastated areas – obviously ask how they are holding up and/or provide the following:Resources for people interested in helping Hurricane Irma VictimsResources for survivors of Hurricane Irma)

It’s also really got me thinking.
I want to make sure all of my clients’ homes are prepped, reinforced and ready to handle anything Mother Nature sends their way.

So, I’ve put together a list of some of the most important home care maintenance tips as we head into the fall/winter/stormy season. I’d love to email you some helpful info, if you’re interested?

If YES:
Great! I’ll get that over to you, right now.
I’ll even include a quick checklist on “6 signs it is time to sell your home” – you might be surprised with a few of them – I know I was!

By the way, if you have any specific home care or improvement requests for resources – like, the most affordable service providers in your area – let me know since I have a database that can connect you with the right folks (including roofing, plumbing, flooring, electric, landscaping, HVAC, cleaning, etc.) Whatever you need, I can get it covered.

Thanks for taking the time to chat. My best to the family! Take care.

If NO:
Okay, sounds good!

List Homes: Your Summer Strategies.

Posted on: May 1st, 2017 by Tim Garcia

May Newsletter_2

Howdy,

Tim here, and I’ll just honestly cut to the chase:
I want to see you sell more homes, this summer. Are you willing to let me help you?

I came across some news today that caught my eye (in terms of it’s potential to garner more listing opportunities for you)…

The U.S. Commerce Department reports that “sales in the category of building materials and garden equipment supplies for the first four months of 2017 are up 5.9 percent from 2016… a huge increase in the amount of homeowner equity stimulates home-improvement activity [and] makes people feel richer, wealthier and more inclined to invest in their house.” * (Source: https://goo.gl/koMPMN)

Let’s capitalize on this (and more).
By reaching out to your homeowners (who are more than likely gearing up for summer home care projects) and providing all of the resources they need (via your Homebrella trusted service provider network)  – you are essentially doubling your chances that they will turn to YOU when they are ready to sell.

Being top-of-mind is the name of the game.
More strategies to really boost your inventory this year are featured in this past months Tips Of The Week, infographics, and company news (keep scrolling for more).

We got this. Are you with me?

Phone Script For Seller Lead Outreach

Posted on: February 29th, 2016 by Tim Garcia

 

More of a Listing Agent? Get free access to our exclusive listing generator Seller’s Corner and jump on the next Seller’s Corner webinar to get started!

The following is an example of a personally-drafted phone script for an actual PropertyMinder client.
*Keep in mind… Having in-hand conversation-starters and content to smoothly navigate through phone calls can undoubtedly lessen your anxiety and improve the quality of your relationships.

However, the trick is to not come off as “scripted” in your tone and delivery. Be professionally casual and honest. Ad libbing is a nice touch, too! Need someone to “rehearse” with? We’re all ears.*

 

Agent: Hey there, ____. This is ____ from ____. How are you doing? Is 2017 off to a good start? I just wanted to touch base again and see how you (and your family) are doing!

Client: I am (we’re) okay, thanks. How are you?

Agent: I’m doing great, thanks for asking. Just keeping busy and trying to stay in touch with folks. I had sent you an e-mail earlier this week, and wasn’t sure if you received it. How’s your home? Are you facing any seasonal issues? The reason I ask is because I have a network of service providers I can happily refer you to.

Client: a) Yes / b) No

Agent: (respond accordingly, have service provider names on hand.)
a) I’m glad I asked! (name resources) / b) Oh okay, glad to hear all is well!

Client: Thank you.

Agent: By the way, speaking of your home, I’m not sure if you keep up with the market – but it’s definitely shifted to become a sellers market.

Client: a) Really? I had no idea. / b) Yes, I was aware.

Agent: a) & b) Yes! Several of my listings this past year sold for more than the listing price, believe it or not.

Client: That’s interesting, great, etc.

Agent: Yeah, I think so too! Have you ever thought what your home is worth? The reason I ask is ‘cause it never hurts to have a home evaluation, even if you’re not thinking of selling anytime soon. Ya know? Most folks who request these are just curious, and some find it handy in the future.

Client: a) Yes, I’d be interested. / b) No thanks, I’m good.

Agent: a) Wonderful! I can e-mail you a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis), or we can meet for coffee one day and I can bring you printed info – whichever works best for you. / b) Okay, well if you change your mind I can always forward you info.

Client: a) Yes, e-mail / b) Yes, let’s meet / c) No, thank you.

Agent: a) Great! I’ll send that your way and set you up on alerts about activity in your neighborhood – like I said it never hurts to know! / b) Great, is there a day and time that works best for you? / c) Do you mind if I e-mail you something just for future reference?

Agent: Thanks for taking the time to chat with me! As your agent, it’s my job to keep you up to date on all things real estate. I’m so glad I was able to connect with you today and hope we can stay in touch!
