While the real estate industry has recognized the importance of agents' websites, few agents have recognized the full potential of unique websites.
Most agents simply use the website format supplied by their brokerage or company....much like they use company-supplied signs and print advertising.
As a result, most agents' websites look much the same...and agents are virtually indistinguishable from each other.
Your unique website distinguishes you from the competition. It also allows you to showcase what you do well...serve clients.
To better distinguish yourself from the competition, add quality to your web site.
Here's how you can add more quality to your site:
- conduct a survey to monitor client satisfaction
- add testimonials
- start a blog
- use social media capability
- post your newsletter
- keep clients up to date (use private, pass-word protected pages)

Timeliness of Service
Technological advances have moved us to the age of instant gratification.Email allows us to communicate instantly with others. We have all come to expect and receive instant gratification to our needs and wants.
The same desire for instant gratification has spilled over into the area of service delivery.
Though computer technology and the Internet, clients have instant access to a staggering array of information and services: instant access is the norm. This creates intense pressure on people like you who provide professional services.
Telephone calls and email messages must be returned promptly; appointments must be scheduled and kept sooner rather than later.
Like quality service, timeliness of service is defined by individual clients. Make sure that you and each client have a common understanding of what constitutes timely service.
Improving the timeliness of your service is an ideal way to add quality.
Add Quality to Services
One of the best ways to include quality in your service is to add something of value.Added value could take the form of additional information. Provided it's accurate and useful, the nature of information that you add to your service is limited only by your resources and imagination.
By providing clients with reliable and helpful information you begin to service your clients..and contacts...as a trusted adviser...not just a real estate agent.
As a trusted adviser, it is easier to attract prospects, generate repeat and referral business and successfully achieve your desired results.

What a great return on your investment of adding quality...in the form of information...to your services.
In effect, you raise your standards of serving buyers and sellers alike.
There is however a downside to adding quality to your service.
These new standards must continue to be met or better still exceeded.
Clients will notice when you fail to meet your standards of quality.
And when you fail to meet the very standards that attracted clients in the first place, your clients will look for another agent.
