Helping Clients With Their Moving Needs

Helping your clients with their moving needs may not be in the official job description as a real estate agent, but many times they turn to you with helping them find a reputable Moving company.

It’s not the best of thoughts to tell your clients they have to use “Company ABC” or “Company XYZ” for their moving needs – unless you’re VERY confident in the service – otherwise it could come back on you if they have a terrible experience. Instead, it’s best usually to give them a list of companies they can choose – or of course refer them to a website that lets your clients compare and choose across several Moving Companies. Sites such as Movers.com can even help clients find International movers.

You can never be too careful when referring services to clients – be it home inspectors, real estate attorneys, moving companies, handymen and other services they might need that you can’t provide yourself. Giving them a resource that lets them compare and research various services will help them make their own independent, well-informed choice. Also importantly, it lessens your liability if the client should choose a company and then choose you’re the one to blame for them using the service and encountering problems.

What do you reckon? Have any terrible experiences with referring clients to another company for services? Do you practice the habit of giving your clients a choice?
