Do you want the real estate transaction to be all about me? Or do you want the real estate transaction to be all about you? Me or You? Which side do you stand on. This is the fabulous thing about language and understanding language. Who are you referring to? me? or you?
What we really want is for it to be about our clients. How do we protect our clients? How do you make sure that everything you do is in your client's best interest? That is what you need to think about every time. What is best for them. Read everything...all the time.
Sometimes agents just think about themselves. It is so challenging in my marketplace to get current board approved forms. I am not even sure the agents realize that their E&O coverage may not cover them for using outdated forms. Let alone their client's interest in making sure that the current laws and forms are used. What if there is a lawsuit...do you want to be on the stand telling the court that you couldn't be bothered to pull the most recent copy of a document or make sure you have all the proper forms completely filled out or that you didn't bother to read or understand the documents...or didn't have the time to explain them.
Think about how much your clients are trusting you. Think about how much they are paying for your services. What responsibility does that put on me or you?
It is about you...and me... and what we do for them
Indeed!
Yvette,
You've said it well. We really need to do the right thing and make sure all of the proper paperwork is completed accurately.
