Amy,
That is excellent advice. Too many agents are still accustomed to hard-boiled solicitation online and answers containing, “call me” fall on deaf ears.
“She relates to them by finding something in common, and makes sure they have lots of ways to contact her. When she answers questions there is a direct link to all her listings as well. That can’t hurt!”
Indeed!!!
Lisa “gets it”!!!
Thank you so much for sharing. Great post, as always.

Trulia voices is a great platform, but as you point out, just answering isn;t enough – having the right answer rules!

Hi Amy,
Imagine that; listen, build rapport and answer the question directly…all at the convenience of your PDA! Sounds like Lisa was always a great agent and thanks to technology, and TRULIA, the consumer wins.

I answer few questions on Trulia – simply a time issue. I did answer one last week concerning a tax question. Imagine my surprise when the first person to respond did not even live in my state and offered horrible advice which did not apply here.
It sounds like Lisa gets it and is helpful -kudos to her!

Answering is helping someone else; helping others has always been the number one way to improve one’s lot in life. It just works that way:)

What was the original question? The “you don’t want to be across the Ct. River” statement raised the little DOJ-fearing hairs on the back of my neck.

I do Trulia voices but only for my area and some in Michigan.
I read some of the answers from agents in other states and freak. They have no clue about licensing laws in MI.
A well thought out answer works best instead of just a short answer Call Me.

The DOJ has bigger fish to fry than recommendations about traffic, LOL! I believe there is no law on saying one town has easier highway access than another. Great post Amy and great job by that agent!

I was glad so many mentioned the licensing laws, fair housing and basic COE issues. In this case the river issue was fine – they were looking for commuting times, so I think that worked. Being on either side of the river is common verbiage around these parts.
But I see ALOT of bad stuff out there. I do believe this will be self correcting, agnets will start to get it or get in trouble.
Have you looked on craigslist lately? It doesn’t take me more than a few clicks to find a real estate agent with a blind ad (not mentioning what brokerage they work with). Ooops that is a state and COE violation, I just saying . . .

Trulia is a cool site. I’m sure Lisa is a fine agent, but it’s got to be wicked easy to be a “top producer” when you work for the “family” home builders. Wonder how many dual agent situations she gets involved in.

I’m reminded that we’re not really in the real estate business, we’re in the conversation, connection, discovery, service, knowledge, expertise, guide, advocate, help you get what you want business.
Just so happens there’s usually a house/property at the end of the rainbow closing.
More accurately, if done property, a closing isn’t really a closing, it’s the beginning of referrals and repeat business.
Thanks for the reminder:-)
