Buying and selling property can be a monumental, life-changing event and will likely be one of the most significant financial decisions you will ever have to make!
It’s pretty amazing that we get to be a part of that milestone for so many people, but what actually goes on in an average day in the life of Team Etchells?
Administration Duties
The dreaded paperwork. Nobody escapes it! Not even Donna! Coffee helps!
Buying and selling property generates a lot of paperwork – completing, submitting and filing agreements, maintaining databases, and data entry… it all has to be done to ensure the process is as smooth as possible for our clients and is a vital part of our working day.
Generating New Leads
Generating leads is the backbone of the Real Estate industry. And between the three of us, we do a daily trawl through websites such as CoreLogic to analyse market data to understand trends and areas to focus on.
Everything we do in our day-to-day transactions can impact generating new leads. Establishing good relationships with clients can result in being recommended to future clients, and here at Team Etchells, we pride ourselves on building this rapport with our Vendors.
Working with our Clients
This is a crucial part of our job as agents, whether it is spending time advising a seller on the correct way to present their home so that it might sell for the best possible price or working closely with a buyer to let them know of any new properties that have come on the market that will meet their requirements.
Buying or selling a property is incredibly involved and can be emotionally taxing. Being at a client’s beck and call to answer some of the more complicated questions regarding buying or selling is vital, so that’s why our door is always open.
Conducting Inspections
We must know everything about the houses we are selling, so inspecting listed properties is also a big part of our day as real estate agents.
In-depth knowledge of a particular area is essential when gauging the correct price for a property, and estate agents build up this knowledge by visiting and inspecting hundreds of properties throughout their careers.
Donna has lived in the Shire for over 35 years; likewise, Tamara and Nicole also live in the area. As a team, we can offer the kind of extensive knowledge that only locals can provide.
Training
Ongoing development and personal training are a huge part of what turns a good agent into a great one – and a big part of the average day in the life of all McGrath Estate Agents is set aside for training purposes.
This emphasis on continued personal development creates more well-rounded agents. It is essential in the rapidly changing real estate industry – where knowledge and professionalism pay dividends for both the agent and the client.
A Typical Day?
With all these different factors to consider – is there such a thing as a typical day? Well, no, but that’s why we love this game and are SO good at it!
