Break time: How Real Estate Agents Take Vacations Without Losing Business - AgentFire
Abstract
Get a Fellow Agent or Assistant to Lend a Hand Once you've chosen a time for your vacation, you'll want to choose a trusted coworker to cover you while you're gone. It's common for clients to reach out to other real estate agents when their agent is out of town and has not connected them with a partner agent. Reach out to an agent you trust and ask them if they wouldn't mind taking care of your clients needs while you're away. Establish Rapport Before Vacation It goes without saying that you should be giving your clients 100% whenever you're working with them. Give Your Clients and Other Contacts a Fair Warning Before your vacation, start to notify clients, coworkers, and other relevant contacts about your vacation plans well ahead of time. Starting a month before your vacation, notify clients and other contacts that you will be absent and that they should get to you with urgent requests before a set date. Focus on Relaxing, Not Work You won't get to relish the joys of a great vacation if you're always returning phone calls and responding to client questions.
