Shaking off the Recession - all at once it seems!

Last weekend I held a couple of Open Houses. I don't know if it is because football season is over, or because spring is coming, but I was busy. Eighteen people came through. I had planned to film a video tour, but I was too busy chatting with all the visitors. It turns out three of the people I spoke with are ready to sell their home. KEZI recently did a story on "Shaking Off the Recession in the Real Estate Business," and they interviewed me and a couple other professionals. Below is a shortened version focusing on what it all means for real estate in Lane County.

Sherri Smith Opens Doors with Integrity and Knowledge

Teamwork makes a difference. So does surrounding yourself with the best professionals for their job. As a Realtor, that frees me up to do what I do best-help clients buy and sell their homes.

To keep things organized and systematized, I have an assistant. My marketing specialist makes sure my listings get great exposure and my buyers have the best technological tools to find their perfect home.

My professional stager works with each of my sellers to make their home more marketable. Lenders which I trust are a phone call away to help a client with a question. My website providers are the best at what they do, and I have a professional listing photographer. When it comes to title and escrow, I know who will go the extra mile.

My clients are supported on every side with knowledge and integrity from personable, accessible and down to earth professionals I trust. As a result, more doors are opening, and by design.

Find out more by getting in touch with me. When you are ready, my team can help you.

Let's Spend the Day Together

Come with me, and I will take you along on a typical day in my life. My little dog Joey and I start the day with some morning exercise (there's a photo on my website http://www.sherrismithhomes.com he's so cute!).

Next is the daily checking and responding to emails from my clients. Don't you prefer a prompt email response? I know I do. After that, my phone starts ringing and I always answer unless with a client.

Problem solving and checking in with clients and lenders as well as sitting down to negotiate on behalf of my clients make the day fly by. I talk to contractors and appraisers. Sending gifts to thank my clients for their business is one of the best parts of the job. I love it.

Meanwhile, Katie, my assistant, takes care of many things to ensure our buyers and sellers are taken care of.. Through all of this I'm giving it my best attempt to stay good with healthy eating.

When the day is done, I have to say there is nothing like coming home. Every house has a feeling. It's strange, isn't it? But true. It is the same for me when I go home - ah yes, so glad to be home.
