Staying Connected
Initial Setup and Expectations
Introductory Email: After receiving a new transaction, I’ll send a welcome email within 24 hours to introduce myself, confirm transaction details, and outline the next steps.
Agent Dashboard Access: You’ll receive access to a personalized agent dashboard where you can view real-time updates on all transaction milestones and check the current status at any time. This dashboard is updated continuously as tasks progress.
Weekly Update Schedule
Weekly Update Emails: Every Monday morning, I’ll send a summary email highlighting:
Key progress from the past week
Upcoming deadlines
Any pending actions or decisions required from you
This email complements the agent dashboard by drawing attention to critical updates, ensuring clear and consistent communication.
Milestone Updates
Key Milestone Notifications: I’ll provide email notifications for critical milestones, including:
Earnest money received
Inspections scheduled/completed
Appraisal ordered/completed
Loan approval milestones
Closing date confirmation
Two-Week Countdown to Closing:
Starting two weeks before closing, I’ll send more frequent updates (every 2-3 days) to ensure all final tasks stay on track.
Copying Agents on All Communication
Consistent Transparency: You’ll be copied on all communication with clients, lenders, and vendors to ensure you stay fully informed throughout the transaction process.
Availability and Response Time
Response Time: I aim to respond to all emails within 1 business hour during my work hours (listed below). Any planned unavailability will be communicated in advance.
Work Hours:
My typical work hours are: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
Work-Life Balance
Real estate may never sleep…but I do! All new contracts/listings received after 3:00PM may be processed the next day. Emails & new contracts received on the weekend will be handled on Monday. Emergency situations will be discussed as they arise.
