"Anne, I'm coming to Kauai next week and I'm ready to buy a vacation rental."
That was the start of a conversation I had a few weeks ago with an old client of mine. We'll call her Valerie. Valerie has been a client of mine for years. She has purchased multiple properties through me in several different states.
We have a great professional relationship. I know what she likes. I know what's important to her. The investment properties (and her personal residence) that she has purchased with me have all been great financial investments for her.
Why A Relationship With Your Real Estate Agent Matters
Valerie knows that she can trust my professional opinion and expertise as her real estate agent.
As a veteran of this industry, I can't express how rewarding it is to have these kinds of long relationships with your clients. work with. It's important that my clients know that I will work diligently, tirelessly, and I'll be honest with them (often to the detriment on any single deal). Knowing your clients trust you because you're trustworthy, and knowledgeable regarding all things real estate...matters. It matters a lot!
The Power of a Connection and Trust
I went straight to work when Susie called me to let me know she was going to be coming to town and ready to buy another investment property.
I knew which locations she would be most interested in. I previewed the ones with the features that would be important to her (oceanview being one of them). I researched who the sellers were and why they were selling (often important in negotiating price), and I found the right vacation rental for her.
As soon as I had all the information, I sent Valerie a text that said, "I found your next vacation rental!" She texted back "great."
I scheduled a time for her to see it while she was on Kauai...and she loved it! It's located in Poipu Kai. It has a great oceanview, it's walkable to the beach and to restaurants, and most importantly to her...it is a great vacation rental!
I knew what she wanted. She knew she could trust me. I showed her the property. Valerie bought it. She now says it's her favorite piece of real estate!
This is what I spend my days and nights working for.
If you'd like to have a real estate experience similar to Valerie's, simply send me a message online. I look forward to speaking with you and finding your dream Kauai home. Or feel free to call me at 808-855-5808.
