I\u2019m in the process of moving home.<\/p>\n
We decided to take the leap and move out of London to get somewhere bigger. Somewhere we can build accommodation for both our mums who are on their own.<\/p>\n
Crazy I know, but nice to feel that they\u2019re sorted and we don\u2019t have to worry about them.<\/p>\n
At the moment, we\u2019re staying with some friends in London while we wait for everything to go through. But when we were looking for property almost every day, I was saying to Holly (my wife)\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026damn I hate my estate agent (realtor for those in the US \ud83d\ude09<\/i><\/p>\n
Every time we walked into a property they tried to hard sell me on all it\u2019s best features.<\/p>\n
I was like\u2026 WTF!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not going to be spending this kind of money on something if I don\u2019t like it,<\/i> no matter how much you hard sell it to me.<\/p>\n
In the end I got pissed off and asked them to stay outside while I went around. If I liked it, then I\u2019d invite them in so I could ask questions.<\/p>\n
The thing is\u2026 all they had to do was listen to what I wanted<\/b>. Use their skills to extract from that information (and what I was saying about properties we saw) exactly what I was actually after and then show me places that fitted the mould.<\/p>\n
No selling required.<\/b><\/p>\n
I wouldn\u2019t be looking for a house if I wasn\u2019t going to buy.<\/i><\/p>\n
And you can do exactly the same on the internet.<\/b> You want to:<\/p>\n If they want it they\u2019ll buy. Your helping them out and providing them with an awesome service in a fun and entertaining way, which means your audience would prefer to buy from you than anyone else.<\/p>\n End of.<\/p>\n Rant over.<\/p>\n Michael<\/p>\n\n
