Homeowners…You Want An Aggressive Realtor!!
You know who I am talking about the Agent you met at the Open House you went to 3 weeks ago that keeps calling you to earn your business. Or the Agent that you called regarding a home you saw in one of their ads that emails and calls every other day. Or that Agent who knocks on your door 2-3 times a week to prove they are the best person for the job.
Stop shrugging them off…Stop feeling annoyed…Stop dismissing their attempts as futile and Stop pretending that you do not need their service…YOU DO!! You want that Aggressive Agent on your side representing your needs, because if you do not have one an Aggressive Agent is going to come along and walk all over your Non-Aggressive agent.
Those same aggressive, in your face, tenacious, doorknocking, telephoning and information leaving Agents are the same Agents that will Aggressively market your home; sell your home; find buyers to bring to your home; help with financing; negotiate the best price for your home; handle all problems “with your interests in mind” from meeting to settlement; and will have you telling others what a great job they did.
If you want a “Timid and Shy” Realtor selling your home (they are out there in abundance), you will more than likely get “Timid and Shy” results. However, getting that Aggressive Realtor you have a better chance of getting Top Dollar Results….The Choice Is Yours!!
To a degree you are right. I am a Realtor in the southern NJ area. Although I am agressive with follow-up and continually touch base there is a line that many agents cross… You can be assertive with your clients or potential customers without being rude. A good agent is agressive with marketing, but considerate of the client/customers needs and listens to what the individual is saying.
[…] They believe, as I do, that a REALTOR who is aggressively working will almost always do a better job for their clients. Read more… […]
Linda great points. My commitment to aggressiveness is nvever be rude about it and that I would rather lose a lead because I called them too many times as opposed to not calling them enough.
Show me a “non-aggressive/respectful” salesperson and I’ll show you opportunity lost. A professional salesperson is only a professional if he/she can find ways and words to push for the business without pushing away the client. If you don’t push, stop disrespecting our profession by calling yourself a salesperson and start calling yourself what you actually are…an order taker.
Another great post…and I will share another great Zig Ziglar quote:
“For every sale you miss because you’re too enthusiastic, you will miss a hundred because you’re not enthusiastic enough.”
Sean - Thanks and I always say I would much rather lose business for being too aggressive than not being aggressive enough
