Why Weichert. And, Why It Matters

Avery stood across the street watching every move the real estate company’s work crew made as they placed the “FOR SALE” sign in the front yard.

Earning the trust and confidence of the homeowners, and to be awarded the listing of their property was not only hard work, it was an honor. Avery chuckled quietly knowing most people would laugh at this sentiment, but it was true. Avery enjoyed helping people achieve their goals in life. And, in partnering with Weichert, Avery found a career that was as rewarding as it was challenging.

When the crew was finished, Avery crossed the street and stress-tested the sign post before sliding in the topper that read “Virtual Open House This Sunday.” Avery smiled again, knowing that now the real work starts. With that, it was back to the office on Main Street to prepare for the newest listing and to secure the right buyer.  

The Right Skill Sets and a Good Mindset

Avery wasn’t always a Weichert Agent. In the short time it took to drive to the office, Avery thought about the unpredictable course of events that turned into this current gig as a leading Weichert Sales Associate.

Before that, there was an entirely different career. When leaving the corporate world, Avery realized the skill sets acquired and honed to perfection from a different industry were absolutely applicable to the world of real estate.

There was even a short stint at a competing real estate broker. When leaving the other brokerage, Avery understood there must be a better way.

The Weichert Difference

Once on the inside of the real estate market, Avery found a tremendous amount of sameness. And that wasn’t necessarily a good thing to discover. During a period of frustration, Avery took time to consider the important attributes that make a difference in the way business should be conducted and how customers want to be treated.

In an off-chance discussion with Diane, the Office Manager at Weichert Chatham, Avery learned more about a company that shared many of the same positive attributes. Topping the list of The Weichert Difference was their model of long-term success - helping people achieve their visions of the future as smoothly and with as little stress as possible.

That’s what Avery was looking for! The ability to deliver a higher level of service that would cut down on everyone’s level of stress. With Weichert, there was now an opportunity to be successful through a customer-first philosophy – one that would enable Avery to build trust and create an amazing experience throughout the entire home buying and selling journeys.

Arriving at the office, Avery was greeted with a few fist bumps and elbow taps to show solidarity in the new normal and to celebrate the newest listing. It hadn’t been that long of a drive from where the new sign went up, but the look back at what had gotten Avery to this point was miles in the rear-view mirror.   

All Under One Roof^sm

While preparing the new, Virtual Open House formatting, Avery reviewed the technology tips received during training earlier in the week.

Initially, the training for the new, integrated platform was the cause of collective angst amongst the local team. At first, it was viewed as just another training class, but after the rollout, everyone agreed their customers and clients would now have a significant competitive advantage via technology.

The other new component of The Weichert Difference launched last year was a new organizational structure designed to be more reflexive and responsive to the evolving behaviors of home buyers and sellers. Now, Avery was able to offer clients and customers the benefits of integrated services spanning Real Estate, Mortgage, Insurance and Closing Services.

What is affectionately called Weichert All Under One Roof is the simplification of the Real Estate buying experience. With a team of Home Ownership Advisors, Avery leads a seamless customer experience tailored to their personal home buying needs. From determining purchasing power to home selection, financing, insurance, protection, closing, and move-in, Avery and Weichert have everything covered – And, it’s all under one roof.

Meeting and Exceeding Elevated Expectations

Avery’s journey to become a successful Real Estate Agent mirrored that of Weichert Realtors. Both of them have found their way to professional and personal fulfillment by helping others discover their way home. 

As a Weichert professional Sales Associate, Avery confidently serves as a "Neighborhood Specialist.” One who is familiar with Chatham and the surrounding local communities, knowledgeable about home values, and understands price trends.

With top professional skills continually refined through Weichert training programs, and the trusted support of a uniquely qualified team of Home Ownership Advisers, Avery’s Virtual Open House was well attended and ran smoothly.

Afterward, Avery prepared to follow-up with all the visitors who attended the Virtual Open House. With updated feedback from guests, Avery took time to connect with the homeowners to review a detailed report and summary of the week’s activity and interest in their property.

Avery knew it wouldn’t be long until the topper sign would change again to “Under Contract” and then to “SOLD.”
