The Real-Estate Professionals Daily Work Out.

Real-estate Professionals get a work out daily, building their broad shoulders. Many of complications, blips and missed closing dates get laid upon their shoulders.

After reading a frustrating post on DeAnna Woody Blog of trying to get her first transaction closed, I couldn't help but put my thoughts in writing.

DeAnna is running into a delayed closing due to many parts of the puzzle not fitting together. Guess who is taking the heat?

In Real-estate the transactions from start to finish is much like a production line. One piece missed or delayed to build a transaction can put the entire process into a tail spin. Some cases this is self inflicted, but in most cases it's part of the production team that added the blip.

Much like the "Server" in the restaurant you visit. When the food you ordered comes out late, wrong or cold it's the "server" that get's the glare. In reality it most likely was the kitchen staff that created this unpleasant dining experience. Luckily for the kitchen staff they are invisible to you the client.

 The same goes for the Real-estate Professional. They are the "Server" to the buyer or seller. Many aspects of the transaction are out of their hands, but still the glares come to them. Meantime the invisible ones save face.

In closing, I believe that the Real-estate Professional will stand out in the crowd merely by the large shoulders they must develop.

Burr you must be freezing up there. In our profession we are always the messenger and if it's bad it's really our fault, if it's good well you might have had a little to do with it.

Heather, LOL, so true on having a little to do with it.

You're right Duane, it falls on us often. The difference is in having the confidence to know you've done your best and not buy into it being your fault...ad getting defensive. It helps be able to communicate better with the clients.

Duane, I love the server analogy in the restaurant to the Realtor. When I'm taking the heat I'll point that out to the parties involved. Sometimes they do want to shoot the messenger.

Colleen, thanks for stopping by. Confidence is a great aspect, it's selling that confidence that you did the best you could for them, the client. The new buzz word some times is Sell, Sell, Sell, Resell, Resell, Resell.

Gary, thank you.

New marketing slogan for the Real-estate army: Real Estate Professional, the do all, be all you "have" to be! LOL

Keep your head low if they start shooting....

Duane-

I always tell clients that, after Mutual Acceptance, I become a 'General Contractor', putting together the best team possible and managing that team toward the closing table.

Lucky me!  I have super resources for all of the different aspects of the process.

Live good. Be happy.
