Tweed Heads & Coolangatta Real Estate Agents in Touch
Prospective purchasers sometimes say they feel their privacy is being invaded when agents ask for their name and telephone number. “They are concerned that the agent will ring and pressure them to buy a house they don’t want,” Richard Arrowsmith at Raine & Horne Tweed Heads/Coolangatta said. “And there are real estate agents who operate in this way. But the more professional agents have up to date training and real estate marketing strategies and they don’t rely on outmoded foot-in-the-door techniques.”
Anthony Davis, also at the Tweed Heads real estate office for Raine & Horne, said that purchasers who buy under pressure usually get cold feet before the contract is exchanged. “It’s a negative result for all parties concerned,” Anthony Davis said. “The agent would have done better to acknowledge that the purchaser didn’t yet have enough market knowledge to be sure of their decision. What many purchasers need is more information.”
Richard Arrowsmith & Lydon Gibbons agreed and said that real estate agents who record purchaser details can provide service to both vendors and purchasers alike.
“From the vendor’s point of view it is important that real estate agents follow up after inspections when purchasers have had time to make comparisons,” Lydon Gibbons said. “Vendors can use this feedback to make informed decisions about the validity of marketing strategies.”
According to Raine & Horne Tweed Heads/Coolangatta the main advantage to purchasers is that they are retained on file so that they can be amongst the first to be contacted when new properties come on the market.
“After all, many sought after properties are sold before the ad has a chance to hit the press,” Richard Arrowsmith said with Anthony Davis agreeing.
According to Lydon Gibbons, letting agents keep in touch is also an easy way of staying up to date with what is selling for what price. “If you know an agent has a local reputation for professionalism and results, you can only gain by leaving your details”
“And you can always refuse if you know that an agent has a reputation for being pushy,” Richard Arrowsmith concluded.
