II. Ore

La mia disponibilità:

Apprezzo la disponibilità e il risparmio dei miei clienti quanto più tempo e denaro possibile, sia in acquisto che in vendita. Lavoro intorno agli orari dei miei clienti e sono generalmente disponibile 9-5 e 6-7:30 EST dal lunedì al sabato a meno che non abbia già un appuntamento, anche se in alcuni casi farò eccezioni per prima o dopo. Ho iniziato le proiezioni con gli acquirenti già alle 6:00 e in alcune occasioni ho terminato dopo le 21:00. Tendo ad avere meno appuntamenti prenotati dal mercoledì mattina al venerdì mattina, dove il mio programma è in genere il più flessibile. Credo che sia fondamentale prendere sul serio la mia fede cristiana e la mia stessa famiglia, ma rispondere comunque a questioni urgenti limitate la domenica e alle questioni urgenti dopo le 19:30 lun-sab. In un campione di 5 settimane che ho estratto, la domenica aveva 1/47 del nuovo input di annunci e il sabato solo 1/20. Sebbene l'origine del mio ragionamento sia la fede, prendersi almeno un giorno libero ogni settimana è supportato dalla scienza per essere più efficace nei restanti 6 giorni 1 , 2 , 3 . Per acquirenti e venditori che necessitano di una disponibilità più regolare la domenica e dopo le 18:30 per proiezioni e comunicazioni estese, posso indirizzarti ad altri agenti che lavorano regolarmente in quegli orari. Nel caso in cui le mie preferenze di fede siano una preoccupazione a causa di esperienze negative con il cristianesimo, si prega di notare questa raccomandazione di un ateo sul mio profilo Linkedin che dovrebbe alleviare alcune preoccupazioni. Decollo anche in alcune ma non in tutte le festività, ad esempio Natale e Ringraziamento.

 

Cosa dicono i clienti:

Questioni urgenti e il mio tempo medio di risposta sono probabilmente i motivi per cui persone come Aaron Bonanni hanno dichiarato in una mia raccomandazione su Facebook : "Non importava a che ora era sempre disponibile e pronto a lavorare per noi". Carlos Rivera ha anche affermato nello stesso gruppo di recensioni: "Ha risposto rapidamente alle nostre domande e quando non conosceva la risposta ha trovato la risposta e ci ha risposto in pochi minuti".

Fastest Way to Reach Adam & Contact Methods:

The fastest way to reach Adam is generally going to be via call or text.

 

While I won't typically respond at 3 AM, I have no problem with clients reaching out in the wee hours of the morning as I turn my phone to silent when sleeping.

 

Please leave a text or voicemail if you call & I don't pick up at the time.

 

If you're unable to text, you can email texts to me at 7578799651@tmomail.net & please CC agarrett@ggrva.com .

 

I'm also available via Facebook, Whatsapp, Zoom, etc.

Holidays:

I also aim to abstain from work on Thanksgiving, the evening of Christmas Eve, Christmas, the evening of December 5th (my wife's birthday), the evening of December 9th (my wife & my anniversary), and certain other times that vary by year save limited urgent matters (see exceptions here). In fact, an agent working all holidays and never taking vacations is actually hurting their own business & the clients that they serve due to the positive impact of rest, including holidays, on their work (1,2,3). In fact, I would argue that due to the extremely low volume of listings input on Christmas Day last year, 2021 (0 in REIN MLS, the primary MLS of Hampton Roads), combined with the high volume of buyers that stop looking in November/December every year, as well as the high number of other agents taking off the same day, it was the best day of the year that an agent could take off.

Sunday Policy:

I believe that it's critical to take my Christian faith and my own family seriously but still respond to limited urgent matters on Sunday & urgent matters after 7:30 PM Mon-Sat. In a 5 week sample I pulled, Sundays had 1/47th of the new listings input, & Saturdays only had 1/20th. While the origin of my reasoning is faith, taking at least a day off each week is backed by science to be more effective in the remaining 6 days 1,2,3. For buyers & sellers who need more regular availability on Sundays & after 6:30 PM for showings & extended communication, I can refer you to other agents who regularly work those times. In the event that my faith preferences are a concern due to negative experiences with Christianity, please note this recommendation by an atheist on my Linkedin profile that should alleviate some concerns. I also take off on some but not all holidays, i.e. Christmas & Thanksgiving.

For more details including examples of exceptions (i.e. me arranging another experienced agent to show you a property at short notice on a Sunday & how in such situations I can still write an offer with you when a seller is planning on making a same-day decision with other active offers present), go here.
