Home care agencies, senior move managers, estate cleanout crews, elder law, downsizing services. By the time a family reaches me you've often been in that house for weeks, and at a harder moment.
You're lending me your credibility with a family who trusts you. That's not a small thing and I don't treat it as one.
In person, every time. No call centre, no sight-unseen offer, and nobody driving in from another city who's never seen the street.
If listing it beats selling to me, I say so. Your relationship with that family outlasts any one house, and I'm not going to be the reason it doesn't.
Whatever happens. You'll know where it landed rather than wondering whether you should have sent them.
Or just introduce yourself — no client required.
