When I read this article I thought it was so valuable. We all know that once the pandemic is over we will have to deal with a fall out and it seems like we are continually questioning what that could be. It is definitely going to take a big dose of thinking “out of the box” and trying things that we haven’t done in the past. That being said, there are still so many unknowns. There is confidence that the housing market overall is much more stable than 2008 so riding through this with creativity is very positive & hopeful.

Amy Dobson, senior contributor for Forbes.com, delves into a few ideas.

I confess, I spent way too long researching and looking at pictures of different things I could do to update my kitchen after I read this article. So I thought maybe you would be interested too in some easy updates that aren’t a lot of work. Right now I’m waffling between new cabinet hardware and organizing containers. Organizing doesn’t seem to be in the cards for me though!! Maybe a new faucet?

Your CRM is the hub of your client operation. If you use it properly, your CRM tracks every client interaction, helps you identify lead opportunities, and gives you the tools to manage your lead funnel so that the most important clients get the attention they need at the time they need it.

A CRM’s effectiveness is extremely effective when your clients’ profiles are filled out with as much information as possible. A name, phone number, and email address are great, but imagine the sort of personalized, timely communication you could plan for your clients if you had birthdays, anniversaries, and closing dates?

Go through each of your contacts one by one, find and fill in as much information as you can. You will be so happy you did it later.

5 Ghost Pony Road is under contract, and these new homeowners are going to be in heaven. What an amazing house. I can’t decide if I think they will love the theatre room or the sprawling land around them more. One thing is for sure, they are going to enjoy Rose Hill more than they know. Just driving through the winding roads filled with nature and horses is relaxing.

Luckily I’ve been fortunate to stay pretty busy these past couple of weeks but yesterday, well…let’s just say that I was going a little stir crazy. So I asked myself, “Allison, what do people want to see right now?” And what came to my mind was that you want to see things that are beautiful and that make you feel good. That led me driving to Beaufort and taking photos from my car. No one called the police on me — so that’s a win! I hope this jogs your memory of where we live and the beauty of it all. Enjoy!

We have many creative ways to view homes during this time and video is just one of them. Whether it’s Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Beaufort or anywhere in the Lowcountry, we’ve got you covered! Give us a call to start your home search now.
