Are You Getting the Job Done…Really Done?Do you have a checklist you follow in your work? I’d imagine that agents, inspectors and lenders have a lengthy checklist...contracts signed, inspection ordered, Open House scheduled, etc.  And by following your checklist, you make sure that you get the job done.   But is the job really done??? All businesses, large or small, have procedures they follow.  It may be as simple as making sure that the door is unlocked and all signs are on by a certain time to making sure that all steps are taken when entering a home on the MLS.  There are steps to track documents and steps to ensure that lenders and inspectors are kept in the loop. However, in your procedures or checklist, have you included the extras that will… -Make the client’s experience a posit... 08/13/2024

Pro Bono? No Bro! Funny story about a property seller who agreed with list terms and conditions and then signed paperwork. Once under contract, he began to complain about agent compensation. To his wife. To the children. To the mailman. To his neighbors. To anyone he could hold an audience with, whether or not they agreed. Once at closing, he let loose on the receptionist. To another couple who sat in the lobby. He was extremely verbal about how real estate agents do nothing but yet garner a lot of money for their services. He finally signed all docs and then moved on to the attorney, starting up again, recycling the same, angry diatribe. Come to find out the person who represented him well as the listing agent on the property during the transaction was his brother! At any time, the sel... 08/12/2024
