From Good To Great, How To Rock Your Clients’ Experience
There are a lot of agents doing the right things in their business, but not getting the results they want. I see it every day and the frustration that ensues.
Why is it that two different agents can seemingly do the exact same things, and yet get very different results?
This is a topic that fascinates me, and something that I have been playing close attention to in the last few years. What I have found is that there are nuances to how and when agents do things which affect the outcome.
Here is an example of what I mean:
I showed a Buyer some properties on Monday and at the end of our time together we decided to meet on Thursday if anything new came up. I told her that I would touch base on Wednesday to let her know if there were any new properties to see.
It is a very common scenario in real estate, but here is what I realized:
- The average agent would wait until Thursday morning to call.
- The good agent would get back to her at the end of the day on Wednesday.
- The GREAT agent would realize that the client is spending all day Wednesday in a holding pattern not knowing if she can make plans for Thursday and would contact her by noon on Wednesday, so that if nothing was available she still had time to make plans.
Can you see the difference and how it impacts the client experience? The same number of contacts are made and the same information is delivered, it’s how and when that makes the difference.
The first two scenarios will get you paid when the client purchases a property, but the last one makes them feel taken care of in such a way that not only do you get paid, but you also get referrals down the road.
What are other areas in your business where you can make small changes like this to yield a big impact?

Bet On Yourself VS The Market
Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…
I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August
Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…
Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start
August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…
What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…
How Do You Want Summer To Feel?
Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…

Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…
The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…
Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
It’s Okay For Things To Be Different
I often find myself comparing things. I compare my business this year to years past.I compare my health and fitness to where I was 10 years ago.I compare how I show up and experience different life events. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…
