When I saw this note that my little 5 year old wrote to her friend, my heart just melted. I remembered that pretty soon, she will be like her seven year old sister and I won't get to read notes written like this anymore. I also realized that only a Mommy who speaks Kindergarten would know exactly what this says. Then....of course....it reminded me of how this quality applies to real estate.
Sometimes I think that my ability to "speak Kindergarten" and read between the lines and look beyond what my clients have put down on paper is what really makes me a better Queen Creek Real Estate Agent. When your buyer rattles off their list of wants and needs, do you stick to it like glue...or do you dig deeper and ask more questions to find out what is REALLY the most important to them? How many times do you have a client that calls you on a listing that they found on another agent's site? You didn't send it to them because it strayed from the 'list' that they provided you when you initially discussed their wants and needs.
Well, when a client finds a listing that I didn't send them, I feel like I haven't quite done my job. As a Queen Creek Real Estate Agent, I want to be the one to help find my client their next home, not just be the middle man! In this day and age of the internet, sometimes we, as agents, get a little lazy when it comes to providing our clients with total service.
When a buyer says they need a 3 Car Garage, do you find out why? Do they truly need it, or would a 2 Car with a shed in the back and an RV gate on the side be adequate? Their next home purchase is not just a closing or a list of checkboxes in your local MLS....it is their next HOME.

San Tan Valley was previously referred to as Queen Creek area of Pinal County, the community lacked any official name and residents used nearby Queen Creek for their mailing addresses. To coincide with the addition of a new ZIP code for the community on July 1, 2009, the United States Postal Service was petitioned to provide the area with a new name. San Tan Valley was chosen.
