Costliest Mistake 7: Doing Operator Work Instead of Real Estate Work
Why Hiring a Sellers Desk
Is One of the Best Decisions You Can Make
...For You AND Your Clients!
You can probably understand why hiring a Sellers Desk will help take time off your hands. This service involves someone sitting at a desk, basically making all the calls that would otherwise take up loads of your time. An operator takes calls from interested buyers wanting to see a home. They also will coordinate that request with the homeowner, setting up a specific time and date for the showing. They will even send notification to you of all scheduled showings or second showings, so you (or your showings agent) can make a specific call to the interested party.
Mike, if I'm hiring a Sellers Desk, why am I still making calls?
A Sellers Desk allows you to optimize your time. You choose which calls to make and which ones to skip. And again, your showings agent can be making a lot of these calls too. When there are specific features or selling points about a listing that is about to be shown, it may be worth your time to make a quick phone call to the interested party and let them know about it. This way, they are arriving at the property already having the knowledge they need to make an informed decision. And your time hasn't been wasted coordinating the showing; your time was spent helping to make the sale.
But with all this talk of hiring others to do work for you... you may be wondering: Will my clients be sacrificing good service when they choose to work with me?
The answer is absolutely NOT!
With a Sellers Desk, your clients will most likely be getting BETTER, more consistent, and faster service. Why? Because, if it's just you trying to juggle all these minute, but time-consuming tasks, there is almost a 100% chance that either: (1) not all of them will get done in a timely manner; (2) you will be a GROUCH to work with because you're so exhausted, or even worse; (3) you'll hate your real estate career because it takes so much out of you and you feel like you can never take a breath!
Do yourself and your clients a favor and look into this service. I think I pay something like $20/month for service on unlimited listings, and a one-time $15 fee per listing. Cheap!
A Sellers Desk will guarantee your clients get the prompt service they deserve. It will even increase your productivity by saving your time for more income-producing activities.
