While it may be hard to admit, Realtors are working for free. Ask yourself this question, “Have you ever driven a buyer around looking at houses, taken your time away from your family, spent your gas and time, only to find out later, they did buy a house but from someone else?” Of course you have. We all have. Have you ever completed a CMA prior to going on a listing appointment only to hear those famous last words after you presented your CMA to the seller, “ Do you have a business card? We want to talk with other realtors!” This is why Realtors are working for free.

If we want to be perceived as professionals, then our practices must reflect professional behavior, just like a Doctor or attorney. For the real estate agents who are tired of working for free, there is a better way.

Before you put a buyer into your car, meet with them at your office. Educate them properly about home purchasing. Get them pre-qualified by your lender. Don’t take their word for it; have them obtain a written pre-approval from your lender. Then, explain why it is in their best interest to work with one exclusive agent, rather than 5-8. I have identified over 28 reasons why a buyer is better off with one exclusive Realtor, rather than multiple, non-committed realtors. For example, explain to them that as a buyer, they are in a better negotiating position if they have a pre-approval letter with a deposit receipt on record.

Then have them sign an exclusive right to acquire property. A recently study supports this view. It showed that buyers who did this, saved approximately 5% over buyers who did not. It is quite simple to get a buyer to sign once they are properly educated to the facts.

When working with sellers, get a commitment before doing a CMA. Discuss your plan for getting them more money. Many sellers list with the agent who promises the highest price, with the least amount of commission. This results in over priced listings with little or no motivation for other agents to sell it. Anyone who knows anything about real estate knows this is ridiculous. Sellers should list with the agent who will provide the most service and deliver the best result. I would personally rather see an agent work with 50 committed buyers and sellers per year than 150 that have not committed to you. The result is you will have more time to spend with your family, going to your child’s soccer game or just doing things you love to do. If you choose to work with a client who is not committed to you, it will cost you your time, energy and money. Remember to keep your eye on serving families and you will reap the greatest rewards this business can offer, a balanced life.

In conclusion, don’t confuse how it’s always been done, with the best way to do something. Awareness is the first step. Make a commitment to “Stop working for Free.” Your family will thank you; your bank account will thank you; your clients will thank you, and you’ll become a much more professional Realtor.

According to Jamier L. Scott. (2002),^[1] “Customer service is a series of activities designed to enhance the level of customer satisfaction – that is, the feeling that a product or service has met the customer expectation.”

Its importance varies by product, industry and customer; defective or broken merchandise can be exchanged, often only with a receipt and within a specified time frame. Retail stores will often have a desk or counter devoted to dealing with returns, exchanges and complaints, or will perform related functions at the point of sale.

Customer service may be provided by a person (e.g., sales and service representative), or by automated means called self-service. Examples of self service are Internet sites. However, In the Internet era, a challenge has been to maintain and/or enhance the personal experience while making use of the efficiencies of online commerce. Writing in Fast Company, entrepreneur and customer systems innovator Micah Solomon has made the point that “Online customers are literally invisible to you (and you to them), so it’s easy to shortchange them emotionally. But this lack of visual and tactile presence makes it even more crucial to create a sense of personal, human-to-human connection in the online arena.”^[2]

Customer service is normally an integral part of a company’s customer value proposition. In their book Rules to Break and Laws to Follow, Don Peppers and Martha Rogers, Ph.D. write that “customers have memories. They will remember you, whether you remember them or not.” Further, “customer trust can be destroyed at once by a major service problem, or it can be undermined one day at a time, with a thousand small demonstrations of incompetence.”^[3]

From the point of view of an overall sales process engineering effort, customer service plays an important role in an organization’s ability to generate income and revenue.^[4] From that perspective, customer service should be included as part of an overall approach to systematic improvement.

Some have argued^[5] that the quality and level of customer service has decreased in recent years, and that this can be attributed to a lack of support or understanding at the executive and middle management levels of a corporation and/or a customer service policy. To address this argument, many organizations have employed a variety of methods to improve their customer satisfaction levels, and other KPIs.^{[citation needed]}
