This is the time of year when real estate agents and new home salespeople meet alot of folks who have made the choice to relocate. It's a great time for families to do it because the kids are out of school.
When it is a mandated corporate relocation, those of us in sales had better become more sensitive, more caring, more helpful and be giving the ultimate in customer service. Not that we don't strive for that everyday, but it is a stressful situation made even harder for our buyers and we need to realize that.
Corporations don't care if a buyer has never lived more than 50 miles from Greenville. They don't care that the kids will have to find new friends. That the family will have to find a new church, grocery store, YMCA, great neighborhood, and most importantly, a new home! And by the way, there are only 45 days to do it all because school starts in August.
It's really hard to find the perfect home; even when there is no mandated schedule. A buyer has to choose from what is already built or halfway built. The half completed home can be so very difficult to visualize.
I hope that when selling new homes, we try as hard as we can to make that less than perfect home everything that it can be. And if we're not trying hard enough, let us know!!
