“Who Ya Gonna Call?”
What do you do if your client wants to know about good public schools near Mounds View, and you don’t have a clue?
If you’re a solo Realtor, I suppose you pick up the phone, and start making phone calls.
Lots and lots of phone calls.
Good Connections
On the other hand, if you’re with Edina Realty — the Twin Cities’ biggest broker by number of Realtors, and with the most local branches — you make one phone call.
In this case, to the co-manager of Edina Realty’s nearby Roseville office, Patti Jo Fitzpatrick.
After explaining why I was calling, Patti Jo said she’d be more than happy to educate my client about local schools.
Then, I called my client to pass along Patti Jo’s contact info.
Thanks, Patti Jo!
P.S.: And how long does it take to send an email “thank you” to the other Realtor?
If they’re in same online company directory, you start typing “F-I-T-Z-P . . . ” and it autofills the right name.
Elapsed time: about 2 seconds.
