As a family team, Michelle and LaVonne make a point of treating their clients like family, so everyone feels like they are receiving the best service possible.
“It’s the real estate golden rule,” she said. “If you take exceptional, top-notch care of your clients, your database will grow, you will obtain clients for life and their referrals to family and friends will be natural and sincere. We focus on the service we provide to our clients rather than on our numbers or the money.”
4. ALWAYS BE PROACTIVE
— NOT REACTIVE — WHEN WORKING WITH A BUYER OR A SELLER
Michelle said the online advancements in the real estate process have changed the market for both the seller and buyer, requiring both to be proactive.
“We have checklists for both buyer and seller before, during and after the closing,” said Michelle. “We’ll help find contractors and help negotiate with them. We know reliable landscapers, movers, house cleaners, packers, stagers, photographers and videographers. We take on the roles of Realtor, consultant and even therapist! Our goal is to have our clients as ready to buy or sell as possible. We strive to offer full-service solutions for all contingencies.”
“What this means for the buyer is that they need to do their online homework and narrow their search before setting foot in any home. Buyers study the professional photos online, walk the home in
a virtual tour, drive by the home, research the neighborhood
and schools, calculate their commute times and look at
public transportation — all before stepping foot into a property. Our buyers are preapproved by a lender and ready to make an offer if all their needs and wants are met,” she explained.
THEIR MARK OF SUCCESS: HAPPY CLIENTS
The online world also requires sellers to have their house in excellent shape and ready for the market.
5. BE A FULL-SERVICE REALTOR
Michelle and LaVonne offer more services than a typical Realtor, all with the idea of easing the stress of their clients.
Michelle and LaVonne’s favorite moment of any transaction is when they are sitting at the closing table and the clients say, “That was so easy, fun, such a great experience.”
“We know we did our job well if they didn’t feel any of the behind-the- scenes heavy lifting,” Michelle said.
