Buffalo Grove Real Estate- Can't sell your Buffalo Grove home? Judy Greenberg, Buffalo Grove realtor uses some good ole fashion marketing strategies.
With the number of Buffalo Grove sellers on the market, compared to the number of buyer-its no wonder that its hard to sell a home these days. I have been successful this year using the simple strategy learned in my Marketing 101 class at the University of Illinois in Urbana. Please don't ask me how many years ago!
Instead of relying solely on email and the internet and other social networking arenas, maybe its time to pick up the phone and actually network with other real estate colleagues. Yes that's right, I'm referring to good ole fashion human interaction! It worked for me,on my last 3 closings!- maybe it can work for you.
Buffalo Grove Sale 1- I was talking to a colleague in another Buffalo grove office about coordinating a neighborhood broker open. We were discussing potential Buffalo Grove buyers and showings we recently had and she told me of another Buffalo Grove realtor who made an offer on her clients home, but it was too low for her seller to accept. She told me to call the other realtor because she thought my home would be perfect for the other client and in a price range more in line with the client's price range. I picked up the phone, called the other Buffalo Grove realtor, subsequently invited her to my broker's open and 2 weeks later her buyer bought the home. Home sold by networking with other realtors and picking up the phone.
Vernon Hills 
Sale 2- After a Coldwell Banker office meeting, I was networking with my collegues and asking if anyone had a buyer for a Vernon Hills home that I was going to list at the end of the week. Two of my Coldwell Banker colleagues told me that they were working with relocation clients and would love for their clients to see my new listing. Although it was not yet formally on the market, one of the clients fell in love with it and the rest is history. Again this Vernon Hills home was sold by networking with other realtors.
Buffalo Grove Sale 3- A Buffalo Grove Realtor was looking at homes with a client and drove by one of my listings. She called me for the price of the home. I was on the phone at the time, but called her back within 2 minutes to give her the information she needed. Although the home she was looking at was out of her price range, I shared with her another listing that I had that was in her price range. She immediately went to see it and 3 weeks later her clients made an offer.
When interviewing potential Buffalo Grove realtors for selling your home, I recommend that you ask the candidate the additional relevant questions.
How long does it take for the realtor to answer his phone or email? What is his responsiveness time? If the realtor isn't available, is there someone else that is going to answer his calls? Does he pick up the phone on the weekends? If I hadn't answered my phone on Buffalo Grove sale 3, that house would not have been sold.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the internet is replaceable, (I'm actually an internet geek) but I do want to point out that even in the age of technology, human interaction and responsiveness is something that can't be replaced or replicated.
