- Find your agent: Agent gets a phone call around 8 pm but didn’t see the missed call until 9:32. Respectfully shoots a text stating “I’m just now seeing the missed call and will call first thing in the morning”. 9:34 client says they can talk now. 9:36 agent calls new client back and proceeds to answer a slew of questions for the next hour
- Get your first batch of listings from your realtor: With such a generous footprint, and solid budget.. there were a lot
- Respond to your agent with homes you want to see on Saturday: 12 of them….
- Get a feel of what you like and don’t like: Bouncing from $200k-$500k… all over the place.. New and used, getting dazed and confused
