I just received a touching call from a client of mine whose house is finally under contract. She is packing up her household of 25 years, throwing out, giving away, etc. etc. promising never to become a packrat again. Well, one of the items she ran across was the very first newsletter that I mailed her in 2002!!!! My first listing was in her neighborhood, and just after it sold I had started writing a newsletter and farming her neighborhood.
Over 3 years ago she called me to enter into discussions about selling her house - and it took 3 years for her to be mentally prepared to sell it and to get it "show ready" in order to list it.
Anyway, I am very touched that she kept my newsletter for 7 years and excited that I am able to help her move on to meet her new life goals.
So, yes, farming does work! And I thought this might be encouraging to others in the office.
