REALTOR CARE DAY

*Pictures to follow*

The second annual Realtor Care Day took place on June 5th and was a terrific success. I worked on the Columbus Board’s Committee to oversee the project and witnessed a great collaborative effort on the part of many to make the day a success. This year the CBR partnered with the Columbus Housing Partnership to enhance the Tray Lee Community Center, part of the American Addition community at Joyce & Sigsbee Roads.

The Tray Lee Community Center was raised up by Reverend Traylor and four dedicated women who wanted to provide an after school center for area children. A mural has been designed in their honor by Columbus artist, Greg Cantwell, depicting their faces and the faces of many important historical figures. It is a lasting tribute to the people whose contribution continues to enhance the lives of others.

Local area Realtors took on projects closer to their home base. Here in Upper Arlington, Realtors worked at the corner of Northam & Camden to assist a homeowner who was unable to care for the increasing overgrowth of bushes, weeds, etc. It was a great day to give back to the communities in which we live and work!

Consumer Needs

A lot of time and money is invested by real estate professionals in an effort to capture the attention of consumers. A quick glance through any neighborhood paper displays countless ads featuring agents promoting themselves. Real estate is an increasingly competitive business and self-promotion is the name of the game.

The people at 1000watt Consulting have put together this clever vox pop to clue us in on what’s really important to people looking to buy or sell a home. This business is about relationships, and Realtors have a responsibility to provide expert guidance through very important decisions.

Best advice to buyers & sellers… select an agent that you connect with and trust. This can be a long-term, sometimes emotional, process. It’s important that your Realtor be accessable, reliable & caring!
