Crossland Team Client Testimonials – What Our Clients Say

At the completion of every transaction, we mail a Customer Satisfaction Survey to our clients with a postage paid return envelope. The survey asks our clients to rate us on 10 performance factors, based on their experience working with us as listing or buyer agent.

Knowledge, Listening Skills, Problem Solving, Patience, Availability, Enthusiasm, Communication, Caring, General Conduct, and “Easy to Work With” are all scored from 1 to 10 with “10” being best. We also ask “what did you like most about working with us?”

Below are representative comments received from past clients, used with their permission.

Kelly and Scott, seller, 2008,Worked with Sylvia, rated us 9.0
What did you like about working with us?

 

“The showings were pretty hands off and we were occupying the space of course but felt awkward showing it ourselves on several occasions. -Not a major issue but some people would really have a problem I’d guess.”

Note from Sylvia: This was an unusual property (lhouse/office) which was being used as an office space. The owners felt uncomfortable giving out the alarm code and it was difficult to leave when buyers came with their agents. In lots of cases, since the sellers were there, the buyer and their agents would ask the seller questions during a showing. If I could do it again, I would explain this better to the seller so they would actually leave, or I’d go to every showing myself and field the questions so the seller would not feel they had to show and answer questions about the house”
