When conducting a transaction in today’s extremely competitive seller’s market, your agent should be putting great focus on providing you with intelligent and expedient customer service.

In fact, customer service is critical in any real estate transaction. There are a few reasons why this is true—especially in our current market.

First of all, while it may not happen each and every time, it isn’t uncommon for sellers to receive a high volume of multiple offers within the first week of their listing going up on the market.

When this is the case, working with an agent who can adequately assist you in multiple offer situations will be critical to your success as a seller.

Multiple offer situations generate a lot of fast-paced, complex challenges that the right agent will be able to help you tackle. Being able to discern facts will help you to make a smart business decision instead of an emotional one.

Next, quality customer service is important to real estate because people are simply too busy for things to operate without it. Buyers, for example, will find it essential to be able to work with someone who can respond promptly to their needs.

In a seller’s market, some things can’t afford to wait. Sellers, too, don’t have the time to wait for advice. Getting critical questions answered right away is key.

Having an appropriate support of services is also a large part of providing good customer service. On our team, for example, we are affiliated with BNI—Business Network International.

This partnership enables us to expand the base of our service to over 45 professionals who we know, like, and trust.
