Personalized Customer Service - Walking The Walk
Living in Israel, people joke all the time, especially new immigrants from the USA and Europe, that customer service here is somewhat akin to UFOs; you have heard that they exist but very few of us have really seen them in action. Well, here is what I did as a real estate broker just last week alone. First I took a young couple from their hotel and we went looking to view and buy small apartments around Netanya for two straight days and we actually ended up seeing six apartments. This was after we had researched and ruled out 25 apartments that did not meet our criteria. After we found the apartment they wanted, I drove them around to make sure the neighborhood would work for them. They decided to buy that that apartment. Later the same week, at another client's request as they were out of town, I drove 2.5 hours one way to deliver a deposit check to a developer to ensure that they could begin the contract negotiation phase on their recent new project purchase. Let me back up. The second couple met with me months ago and we drove around Rehovot looking at properties but could not decide on anything. Months later, I met them up north and drove them to a new project and then around the area to see if they would want to live there. That closed the deal. The same day, I then drove them back south with me so they wouldn't have to sit on a train for 2 hours. Bottom line; it's a service business and if you deliver great customer service , people will become your clients and refer you to their friends and family.
