We were lucky to catch up with Danielle Meade recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Danielle thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you share a customer success story with us?
Being in Real Estate during covid had its own challenges but having clients with any sort of health concerns made things exceptionally more challenging. I had one client with major health issues so weren’t able to go public with their home. This means I had very limited access to the home for showings and we were not able to market the home. They had very specific time lines that we needed to sell the home in,
I was able to sell the home off market in one weekend, with all of their needs being met. (price, dates). This allowed the sellers to stay in the home long enough to finish treatment, get the price they wanted, and move back home to be closer to family.
The buyers were thrilled to help out the owners so that they could move on in that difficult time in their lives, Plus the buyers were able to find a home in an ever changing/challenging market
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I got into real estate at the age of 24 because of my love of Boston and the history that the city holds. At the beginning of my career I worked on my skills in the construction and sales side of the biz enabling me a wider set of skills to help assist my clients. I have a passion for helping people find their forever home a home that feels like a warm comfy sweater on a cold snowy day. I want them to walk into their home and feel like they have been lived their forever,
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
In RE in order to be successful you really need to take a step back and just listen to what your clients goals and opinions are. When you are first starting out it is easy to want them to like homes you like. But you really need to take the time to listen to them and what homes and styles they are attracted to.
I used to walk into homes and have opinions, but I had to learn to show them the value of the homes they like. In the end if a client really likes a home and there is value in their purchase that is what really matters.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
The absolute best source of new clients are referrals from old clients. Once I was able to sell enough homes in my market, clients would help guide me to neighbors, family and friends that maybe interest in selling or buying. I find that gaining clients this way helps give both my new clients and myself have an added layer of trust within the relationship. They are more likely to trust to my opinion on staging, pricing and selling timeline. if they know first hand my track record.
