Lori Cain’s Preferred Vendor List – the absolute “best of the best” in midtown Tulsa real estate

Lori Cain’s Preferred Vendor List – the absolute “best of the best” in midtown Tulsa real estate

I blogged the other day about the Listing Sales Book that I include in my homes for sale to include a list of home improvements but I forgot to mention including my list of vendors in the book. I can advertise that there is fresh paint and refinished hardwoods, but I am equally proud of who painted those walls and who refinished those hardwoods.

Jane Halliwell, owner of Prime Painting and Restoration has been in business in Tulsa forever and has painted almost every home in midtown Tulsa. People know that her work is quality work. My hardwood floors were refinished by Gil DeLozier, and his family’s business has been around for an even longer period of time. Gil learned from his father, and now Gil’s son works with him – between the three, they probably have refinished every midtown Tulsa home’s floors.

Renowned Tulsa arborist, Greg Cole, trimmed my trees so that they will heal and grow and be a part of Tulsa’s future. I didn’t just pay some wandering handyman to trim my trees, I hired someone who knows everything about trimming trees to maintain their health and longevity.

Now, these vendors don’t have web sites to which I can link, because most of their business is word of mouth or referrals. That’s why I keep my “Preferred Vendor” list on my web site, LoriCain.com. As I work through transactions in midtown Tulsa real estate, I meet the best of the best. When I’m pleased with their work, they get added to my Preferred Vendor list.

Found several places on my Preferred Vendor list is my savior repairman, Gary Ellis. Almost all of my clients keep Gary’s number programmed in their phone, because Gary can fix ANYTHING or he knows who can.

My clients and friends are good about checking my Preferred Vendor list before calling me for a reference. I was at the lake once checking FaceBook, and my client posted that her air conditioning had broken (yikes – it was over 100-degrees that day!). Five minutes later she posted that she found a repairman on my Preferred Vendor list and that he was on his way. An hour later she reported that AC was operational again! And, I never lifted a finger.
