Here’s something that probably won’t surprise you…
Numerous studies confirm that people looking for a professional, such as a roofing contractor, trust recommendations more than advertising.
Like I said, there’s no surprise there!
It’s becoming more and more common for people to ask friends and neighbors for recommendations when they’re looking for a professional. In fact, it’s one of the more common types of posts on community Facebook pages.
Why am I bringing this up?
As you may know, I’m well-connected in the local “home” industry. So, if you or one of your neighbors is looking for a reputable contractor, decorator, or other professional, I may be able to recommend someone. Please feel free to ask.
I’m happy to help.
And, by the way, if you come across someone looking for a good real estate agent, I hope you’ll feel comfortable giving them my name. My business is built on referrals from valued clients and homeowners in the communities I serve. Any referral you send my way will be greatly appreciated!
