Writing the Perfect Thank-You Note

The thank-you note is a staple tool for the relationship-focused real estate agent! Not only are they great for strengthening your relationship with current clients, but they can make the difference for good testimonials and even referral business. Here’s how to write the perfect thank-you note.

  • Handwrite it. Emails and texts are convenient and quick, but they just aren’t as memorable as a handwritten card. There’s something so personal and touching about being the recipient of a real, paper card that someone took the effort to write and mail. Handwritten notes will put you head and shoulders above your digital-only competitors.
  • Express Yourself. Not sure what to write? Make it personal by starting with their name. Then, get to the point by thanking them directly for whatever you’re grateful for — a listing, a showing, a purchase, etc. Including a personal detail about your experience with them is a great way to show that this isn’t a canned message. Don’t forget to sign it!
  • Personalize it. You don’t want to be unprofessional, but don’t be scared to show a little personality! Whether that means quirky stationery, stickers, or personalized doodles, the recipient will appreciate a human touch.

Everyone appreciates the personal message that a handwritten card sends! Make sure you’re making the most of this easy, highly effective tool.

Jim Passi gets results.

Jim Passi gets results. At the beginning of our process Jim told me he would “hold our hand through this whole thing, whether you like it or not”. I thought it was a good joke but as the days went by, I realized what Jim was about. He was relentless in pursuing our needs and best interests at every turn. Example #1: Even though it wasn’t necessary for him to do so, Jim came up with 2 options for us to increase our credit score(s) before they counted for the interest rate on our mortgage. Thanks, Jim. Example #2: and this is the kicker… I don’t have to tell anyone how competitive it can get when multiple offers come in on the house you want. On a Sunday, there was an open house on the home we eventually bought. There were multiple offers over asking price and the seller’s agent was calling people to find out who was the strongest buyer and/or who’s offer should they accept?. The Pre Approval Jim provided for us had his contact info and when the seller’s agent called him at dinner time with his family, on a Sunday.. and Jim picked up the phone for us. He talked the seller’s agent into accepting OUR offer – and obviously, Jim doesn’t have to do these things. It’s how he gets results and we’re grateful for his relentless nature. We both wish we could give more than 5 stars. Top Notch, all the way.
