Every profession has its tools of the trade. Traditionally, real estate agents are equipped with a mortgage broker, mortgage lawyer and often a home inspector. Paul Hammond of Re/max Escarpment Realty Inc., Brokerage has expanded his tool selection to better serve his clients.
Part of his job is to get a home ready to sell and that might require some home improvements. When faced with that situation, he has at his fingertips the resources to perform the necessary work. The real estate agent has developed a reliable network that includes house cleaners, carpet cleaners, painters, plumbers and electricians.
“A lot of people ask for these types of services,” Hammond says, adding that he has made an effort to make contacts in those businesses.
Being able to refer reliable, quality service providers is a big bonus for his clients. It’s one less thing for them to worry about during a process that can be overwhelming, he explains. In order for clients to get the best price for their home and move onto their next dream home, they need to entice buyers. A well-presented, well maintained home will command top dollar.
Hammond views his job as being a bigger responsibility than selling home.
“I like to provide extra things to make my clients happier and know that I’m working in their best interest.”
A background in marketing, sales and service, a strong work ethic and a genuine love for what he’s doing are the motivation for going that extra mile for clients. Nothing feels better, he explains than having a happy client who appreciates the work he’s done.
