Hudson Valley Happenings Blog : Looking for a Home with a Buyer's Agent - It's All About You!!!

Good morning Paddy, thank you for the wonderful tips on buyers agency. You have definitely got my vote. Enjoy your day, sweetie. Regards, C.

Great tips Paddy. Buyers are still reluctant to work with buyers agent and providing service is a great way to stand out!

Thanks Carolyn You enjoy your trip to the zoo and pictures please!

That's what Buyer's Agency is all about Sonia - Once you show them service they will know it is valuable.

Morning Paddy,

It is easy to see where your success comes from, You and your poitive attitude toward the profession and client base.

Thanks Hal Have a great day and Keep Smiling and Keep Selling!

I dont understand alot of buyers. They are so reluctant sometimes to hire a professional. I bet they dont get there teeth cleaned by the car washers!

Or use the soon to be x's attorney in a disputed divorce. They need someone on their side Laura.  Thanks for the comment.

Paddy -- I always hated the auto-dump feature agents use.  Most of the homes that show up on the MLS dont fit the needs of a specific buyer.  Its good that you put your heart into your search for your clients.  Its that type of service that makes them stick with you.  Nice work!  I wish I had more agents like you on my network!

Thanks Clint I have looked at your program and will be contacting you with some ideas and maybe we can do business someday soon.

Paddy -- I look forward to it, darling!

Paddy, it's all about "personal" customer service. Hey, when are you going to post that logo?

Hey Duane, did you have your teeth whitened? Anyway, my broker does have a logo and I have not added it that is true.  If I show you mine will you show us yours?  Not just on a comment but right there on your profile???? 

Paddy, hhmmm, I love that game, now I need a smoke, grin....

Behave you two!

Great post Paddy regarding Buyer's Agent.  It is one of the most important things a buyer can do - have an agent REPRESENT THEM!

Thanks Leesa.  I am trying to behave but Duane is causing problems you know! 

I think that buyers need to be represented and hope that more get the message from us.

Paddy This is a great blog- Your personality shines through- We are just beginning the buyers agency requirement- So far so good- We are working smarter! It was getting crazy with buyers having no regard for the work we do- So now Becky has a discussion with them- and we go from there.

I try to tailor the auto-mail as much as possible, but some buyers definitely want only those listings that are real possibilities.  For them, I check every listing before sending it on. 

(I check through all the auto-send emails every day, too, to see if they need to be narrowed as the buyers wants become clearer.)  

On the other end of the spectrum though, I have some buyers who want to see everything sent to them that is within their price range.  They may be afraid that they are going to miss something!

I am glad you are trying to protect yourself Barbara.  Buyers sometimes don't realize how we get paid and we need to be clear with them.  We work in their best interest and most of us don't get a regular paycheck we make commission only

Hi Lynn, I agree that some of my buyers want to see everything but I want them to know I am looking at them too.  Thanks for stopping by.

Sounds like you definately act in the buyers best interest.  Some buyers are just afraid to share to much information with agents, they have heard all the stories, its people like you that are helping to change that.

Have A Great Day

That is why it is so important for potential buyers to understand agency, Doris.  Once they understand who works for who they begin to relax and feel comfortable sharing.
