team: Team Decisions
- 12/06/08 09:41 AM
I love working with a family team - my son, my daughter, and my "assumed daughter" for the last 20+ years. We talk about things a lot, and it's interesting since each of us approaches a situation from a different perspective. Do we want to open our own office? Which contractor shall we choose? Do we want to take this listing? What more can we do to market this property? Where can we find what this client needs? What are our goals for 2009? We all know all of our clients, and we think as a team. Brainstorming is wonderful, and … (5 comments)
team: Teams - you're ALL the team
- 03/15/08 11:58 AM

I was only involved in one of the negotiations, I was in Texas, the buyer's agent in … (0 comments)
team: Post Closing Debriefings

After each closing our team of four get together to discuss the closing. One of the things we do is to rate each participant in the closing - buyer, seller, lender, title insurance company or attorney, inspectors, insurance agent, etc. We often have some interesting discussions on which letter grade to give them, because we don't all agree, but do come to a joint decision. That rating goes into our contact management system, ACT, so that any of can see at a glance who to recommend, what to expect, what to tell our client to expect. We also talk about anything … (3 comments)
