Real Estate Professionals – our most valuable asset is our ability to deliver

Buying or selling a home can (and should be) a pleasant experience but it rarely comes without stress – our challenge as real estate professionals is to deliver excellent service to our clients and promote a profitable and positive transaction to both home buyers and home sellers.

It doesn’t come without pitfalls. If I recommend an inspector that misses something and my Buyer winds up with an unexpected out-of-pocket expense three months after closing, my Buyers will look to me for an explanation. If I recommend a Lender and the Underwriting process takes longer than expected, that also is a reflection of my performance as a professional within the industry. If my preferred repairman corrects a defect found during inspections and doesn’t fix it properly, that’s another hit against me.

What home buyers and home sellers need to understand is that real estate professionals do not get paid until we reach a successful closing of the transaction. Realtors don’t get paid if the transaction falls through, Lenders don’t get paid . . . and the domino continues. So, rest assured that we ALL work together to promote a successful transaction and the ability to deliver positive results.

Buying or selling a home can be a truly emotional experience, so make sure you are working with a real estate professional who can negotiate in a calm manner and will communicate with you as often as you require. Home buyers and sellers often feel that everything is out of their control, leaving them feeling extremely vulnerable – and they look to their real estate professional to “make things right.”

We can’t always “make things right,” but we can involve you in the process as much or as little as you wish. Sometimes the update that there is no update is better than no communication at all. Realtors adhere to the code of ethics as dictated by the National Association of Realtors and are held to a higher standard of service in our ability to deliver professional, ethical and beneficial outcomes.

As a real estate professional, MY most valuable asset is my ability to deliver positive and successful results to my clients. Sometimes it’s a rocky journey, but I will never leave your side, and I will always be your advocate.
