3. Kim Knapp…………..
I want to build a business with the foundation based
on referrals from satisfied customers, friends as well
as local business professionals who see me as the
go to person for real estate.
By providing a “Raving Fan” experience while
incorporating referrals seeds along the way I can
create this model.
Always remembering that the customers do not
belong to me, they remain parked out front as long
as they perceive value.
4. Look past the person & see the need.
Attitude is the Difference
*Customers * Vendors * Realtors
You see your life and
others through your

treat them

When I am top of mind with my customers they will be more likely to
refer me to their friends, neighbors and family, which in turn I refer to
you. Let me give you an example.
I am calling to let you know your appraisal is in. It’s 5,000 over your
contract price. I know you must be very pleased with that as we do not
see that very often. Agent_____________ is a strong negotiator, and a
real professional. If you know of anyone who may be considering
purchasing a home in the next 6 months, Make sure you send them
_______’s way or I would be happy to call them for you.
Plant enough seed and something is bound to
Grow!
Jenifyr,
Hello again, I’m sure you’re enjoying having AJ back home!
I have attached your appraisal to this email, the home appraised for $274,000 (we will
thank Cari for the instant equity!). Everything looks great. We received the appraisal late
Friday and the loan was sent to underwriting today. Once the underwriter has reviewed it
they will issue conditional loan approval. We will fulfill any last requests the underwriter
has and get everything set for closing and funding by the end of the month.
