Good communication with your real estate agent is a key to selling your Tennessee Lakefront home. Lakefront Living Realty‘s agents provide a Communication Guarantee. This guarantee means you will be completely informed about every aspect of the marketing and sale of your lakefront home.
The number one complaint from sellers and buyers of homes involves their agent’s lack of communication. Many times once an agent or broker gets a listing contract, the seller never hears from them again. Meanwhile, buyers complain the agent either doesn’t return their calls or is not available to show properties.
According to the National Association of Realtors, 70 percent of people thought their agent did a poor job communicating with them. We hear it all the time when sellers switch agents after their listing contract expires. “I didn’t know what was going on” often is their biggest complaint, even above the fact the home didn’t sell.
At Lakefront Living Realty, we believe it’s important to explain up front how we will communicate with the seller throughout the process. Our agents tell you exactly what you can expect in terms of communication. We’re also going to put it in writing. Our Communication Guarantee is a key to selling your Tennessee Lakefront home.
You hire a real estate professional for his or her expertise and help. However, all the knowledge in the world is useless if it’s not communicated to the customer. But when sellers and buyers know ahead of time what to expect, they trust the agent. They know the agent is doing everything possible to ensure a successful sale.
An important aspect of our guarantee is providing feedback on what the house-buying market thinks about your property. Unfortunately this feedback is lacking with many agents. For example, you spend all morning getting your house perfect for a showing. You clean. You put away all the laundry. You sweep off the porch. Then, after the showing, you hear nothing. Even a quick text can help the seller feel at ease that they can come home! 
Our agents realize that feedback — what the market thinks about your property — is important to you, and we will give you that. Guaranteed.
Our Communication Guarantee is a key factor in selling your Tennessee Lakefront home. Here’s what it looks like:
- We guarantee we will provide feedback to you after showings within 48 hours.
- We guarantee we will call you bi-weekly to discuss feedback, showing traffic, market activity, price adjustments with regards to positioning your home on the market.
- We guarantee we will be available to receive your calls between 1 and 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
- We guarantee we will return all phone calls between noon and 1 p.m. daily and emails even more quickly.
- We guarantee that you will be kept informed regarding new homes that come on the market to compete with yours, as well as recent sales around you.

When hiring someone to sell you home, make sure you ask about communication so you know what to expect. Communication should be among the top criteria for determining which agent to hire.
