Today I received a telephone call from a bewildered client. The client received several telephone calls within a couple of days from various individuals asking to purchase her home which was being sold in a short sale. The callers indicated that they found her home listed on the area multiple listing and on various internet websites.
Each of the callers told the homeowner that if the homeowner signed over her title to them, then the caller would bring her mortgage current and save the homeowner's credit.
The homeowner called her mortgage company and confirmed that her mortgage was always current. I sold the property to the homeowner a little over three years ago and kept in contact with her on a regular basis. Her next step was to call "Her Realtor®". I cannot express the joy that I felt when she referred to me as "Her Realtor®".
How could this happen, she asked, I have signed no listing contract. OK! I had a job to do! I searched MLS under the property address, and found no listing. I then searched only by the property house number. There it was!
The homeowner lived at 1234 West ABC Street.
The short sale property was at 1234 East ABC Street.
A measurement for any sales person is not only what or how you market yourself or represent your product, it's also what people think of you at the end of the transaction. I am "Her Realtor®".

I live here! I work here! I know this community!
Great job! I enjoy having clients call me a year or two after the deal as well. When they think of need help with real estate, they come to me. :-)
Robin, You will be successfull if they always consider you for their business. Good luck in Tucson!
Leolinda, great work! It's always a nice and warm feeling when our clients think of us as "their Realtor" isn't it? Good job...;-)
That is a greta feeling to have someone remember you. When I get a short sale approved and closed it is a great feeling knowing that I have saved somebody's future. Although I no longer list and sell I still get calls from people that I halped in the past and tons of referrals. there is no greater satisfaction.
Terry, I still get the warm and fuzzy when a past client calls. Yes, it truly is a great feeling.
Ron, yes, the telephone call results in a high and satisfaction that is difficult to describe,
