It is VERY IMPORTANT that we all work together toward the common goal...get the transation closed. The key to success is for EVERYONE to do their job. If just one person fails to do their part, it causes the whole transaction to stop.

Karen, This was perfect. We are all trying for the same goal. So being confrontational gets you nowhere.
Thanks.
I agree with you completely. My broker recently had a transaction with an agent that was so into being "in charge" and wanting to "control" the transaction, and she wasn't very nice about it, that she forgot about the inspection objection deadline.
On the other hand, I just closed my first commercial transaction. It was a lease to own. It was so great to deal with a reasonable buyer and a reasonable seller. We went back and forth once and both parties came to an agreement. Everyone was happy and worked together. It was a beautiful thing.
Unfortunately, for some people, there is no other way to be. All you can do is your job to the best of your ability and hope that the professionals around you are committed to doing the same.
Take a break or two when needed. Don't fly off the handle and remember you may need them on your side sooner than later. It is good to keep a level head and always follow up!!!!
When the leaders of our country can't get along then how are we suppose to?
You are right Don. Confrontational = stressful for everyone involved. It just doesn't have to be that way.
Debbie, It makes for such a more pleasant experience when everyone works together. I guess you have to experience the bad to appreciate the good.
Nice way to put it Joshua.
Yvonne - follow up is the name of the game
Rob - sometimes we just have to decide we are going to be the bigger and better person.
The key is always to that email in drafts and read it in the morning. Most of the time, you will rewrite before you hit send. I am sure tabs we all feel better when we can rant and scream, but in the interest of making a smooth transaction, we need to keep our claws where they belong and look out for what is best for the clients. Great post!
Karen you are spot on, I am always concerned when the ego of the other players gets in the way of a Transaction, what annoys me most is when the clients are cool and then there is one ego maniac agent on the other side.....
The Banks and the Underwriters are not interested in getting along.
Occasionally, I encounter a "Prima Donna" Real Estate Agent, or an Agent that wants to play Hardball.
If these people would stop being such jerks, more deals would make it to closing!
Karen - My mom always taught me to NOT SPEAK in the heat of the moment. One of lifes greatest lessons that we all should take to heart.
Endre - it's sad when the client has to calm their agent. Being professional and a good negotiater doesn't mean being an ego maniac. There is a BETTER way!
Fred - Ding Ding Ding!!! You win the prize! UNDERWRITERS - no they don't want to get along. BUT, if we want to get paid, we do what they ask...nicely. Others are depending on us to get them to the closing table.
It's so easy for ruffled feathers to get the best of someone.... especially under stress. If we all would step back sometimes and shake our feathers before entering a conversation or room it would go a long ways. I love your post!
Thanks Lindsey! We should all realize how our reactions have such an effect on others. It DOES matter!
