Ask About Our New 'Feedback' System!

One of the most common complaints about REALTORS® is the lack of feedback they give their listing clients after their home has been shown to a prospective buyer. I have to admit, this is very frustrating for me as well. Quite often it takes days to get feedback from an agent. Whatever the reason, it takes too long! And when we finally do get feedback, it is often short, ambigious, and via a pager message i.e., "not suitable". To improve the feedback service to our listing clients, we are in the process of buying a software program that will provide more detailed information in a timely and professional manner. The feedback will be available online 24/7 via a secure website. Because it will be internet based, a spouse who is out of town will also be able to view the potential buyer's comments. If you have any questions, be sure to give me a call or send me an email at david@davidweir.com. Phone # is 613-394-4837 or 1-800-263-2177. Cheers til next time.

Welcome Bloggers!

Welcome to the first installment of my Blog ... probably a first for REALTORS® in the Quinte area. I thought it would be appropriate to launch a new and improved website that included a Blog so you, our clients and potential clients, could be kept abreast of real estate happenings in the area. So, what is new? Well, we are offering free staging or free handyman labour to anyone who lists or sells with us in 2007. Keep in mind that we are sub-contracting this work to people who do it best! Our thoughts are that if you're hiring us to sell your house, you likely don't want us spending our time 'staging' or repairing, when we should be out looking for Buyers for your home! Stay tuned for my next entry when I will talk about one of the most common complaints about REALTORS®.
