Good Luck.
So often we get people getting all sorts of advice from "friends and family". We all want free advice, but normally we get what we pay for. I have seen this even with the experts (Attorney's, Home Inspectors, Bankers, Appraisors, Etc..) where even they ask a friend or relative a quick question and get a quick answer. The problem is unless you are paying someone who is giving you your full attention, you will more likely than get an incomplete answer. An answer without all the facts usually will give you an incorrect answer. So next time you need an "expert", pay for it. This way your have a better chance of a well thought out answer to your thorough question.
One of the biggest complaints clients have of realtors is once they get the listing, they never hear from them again. There are many ways to keep in contact with your client. Call them even though you may have nothing to report. Give them reports twice a month on their listing activity and marketing activities. Set them up with an automatic Market Snapshot so they get a monthly analysis of their area(competition). Set up a monthly e-newsletter to keep everyone informed of market condition - list your source. Set up to blog. Become the market expert. But most important is when they ask you to do something - do it and let them know you made the call - don't keep them wondering.
