Ways to Educate Your Clients
Louisiana REALTORS • Mar 02, 2020
Knowledge is power. This is why education, training, and continuing education opportunities are so important. The skills learned through these experiences and lessons are invaluable and they provide the tools necessary to offer the best service possible for your clients. However, education is just as important for your clients as it is for you. The process of buying or selling a house is a complicated one. The ins and outs can become quickly confusing; it is your job as their fiduciary, their representative, to teach and communicate what they should expect. Here are a few things that can help you be a professional, knowledgeable REALTOR® that can help educate your clients.
Whether you have a first-time home buyer, a repeat customer, or a referral, an educated client can quickly become a much more valuable client. It all begins with the road map that navigates the real estate transaction system.
Begin by Removing Fears
There are a variety of unknowns when it comes to buying and selling a house. By explaining the process from pre-approval to closing, you can mitigate many of these fears. For buyers, referring your clients to a trusted loan officer, to helping them understand their budget, to finding the right location can help to make this a smooth process.
Set Expectations
For sellers, setting expectations in terms of preparation, timing, and price can go a long way in making for a smoother process. Presenting comparable values, explaining your marketing plan, and understanding your seller’s motivation and situation, can help to define the reasonable expectations for their sale.
Communicate Your Goals
When you can relay what your expectations, intentions, and goals are as a REALTOR®, you can clearly explain how you intend to do business with your clients. From point A to point B and beyond, providing a clear picture of how you handle each of your clients and the strategies you believe in will provide both peace of mind, as well as accountability. It will be clear what your clients expect from you, and what you will be held accountable for.
