You're Being Interviewed While You Sleep

 

 It's past midnight; do you know where your prospective buyers and sellers are?  Chances are you are being interviewed while you sleep. 

 

Your information is posted, and prospective customers can answer most of their initial questions without ever speaking to you. They've studied your Active Rain resume. They know where you work, your areas of expertise, your experience, your professional affiliations and have read the testimonials of your raving fans.

 

 After browsing through your blog they have a good idea of your dedication and passion for your work.  If you have offered enough transparency, they know your work habits, your values and whether you are someone they want to establish a working relationship with.  If you've defined yourself well and offered them informative content, there is a good chance you'll be called for a second interview.

Get a good night's rest, and go sell a house!

Norma, This is great.  Can't say I have ever thoguht of it exactly like that (while you are sleeping) but you are right on!

Steve - Most buyers begin their search online, so it's important we keep our information updated and out there for them to find!

Excellent post.  Never thought of it that way, but so true.  Thanks for sharing.
Posted by Denise Shockey Cocoa Beach Brevard County Florida Real Estate (Spinazzola Real Estate, LLC) about 4 years ago
Hope they find us and call us in the morning -- we are out there all over the place.  It is just so hard to believe that less than 2 years ago, we could not handle all of the buyers.  There were about 8 buyers for every seller, now it is the other way around!

Denise - Those online interviews are happening at all hours of the night!

This is a great posting - but, as you probably already know every thing you write on the internet is there forever.  So be careful what you write.

Norma, that's an interesting way to think about sleeping!  And I like the new look!

WTG Norma......

That is the wonder of the WWW......

Gary - People get to know us without ever speaking to us, and I think it's good to establish that introduction before we begin a working relationship.

I never thought of it like that...but your right!  After reading a series of blogs you can really get a good feel for the realtor/loan officer.  Great post!
