Why?
We all have patterns of behavior that we¹re accustomed to, and we¹re not always fully aware of the impact that we have on the people around us. For example, if you¹re a ³creative genius² type and tend to be disorganized, and the clients you aim to work with expect someone who¹s in complete control of all the details associated with their listing, you might find yourself constantly struggling to create the experience you need to.
Two ways to manage the customer experience is to keep a journal and to solicit feedback from your clients. The journal can force you to evaluate and re-evaluate the service you¹re providing. It¹s most helpful for tracking objective steps you can take. For example, you might decide that part of your brand is personal care. In that instance, you might want to track specific steps that you can take to create the appearance of personal care for your clients. Maybe you will decide to send a closing gift to your clients after a transaction has been completed. Maybe you decide that you¹ll send them one helpful tip each week. Recording what you¹ve done can help you evaluate which things have an impact on your client.
To find out how you¹re perceived, there¹s only one surefire approach: ask.
Companies survey their customers from time to time. You can do the same. You can either do this informally, or you can send out a survey after working with a client. One easy way to do this is online  there are plenty of providers that allow you to send out an online survey via email. It¹s a quick and easy way to give your customers a chance to provide feedback to you. Just the very fact of asking may change the way you behave and interact with your clients.
Another tactic is to track repeat business. Do customers come back to you?
If you haven¹t heard from a past client in a while, you can reach out to them and inquire whether they¹ve had any real estate transactions since you last worked with them. If customers aren¹t staying loyal to you, that¹s a sure sign that the customer experience isn¹t living up to your brand aspirations or that you might need to re-evaluate the qualities you think customers want to see from you.
In Conclusion
It might seem a bit abstract, but the concept of brand can be a helpful way of thinking about your business, and it is most definitely a business. Don¹t get carried away  some businesses have been known to lock themselves in paralysis by planning and obsessing about things that are important to them and lose sight of what really matters  what¹s important to the customer. As long as you think about brand as a way of interacting with what your clients want, it will be a powerful way of thinking about who you are and why people want to work with you.
