What Does Frozen Tundra Have to do with Real Estate?

Real Estate Agent with RI Real Estate Services ~ 401-529-7849~ RI Waterfront Real Estate

What Does Frozen Tundra Have to do with Real Estate?  That long expanse of frozen white ice that goes onfrozen tundra for miles and miles which seem to have no end.  You know from all those National Geographic specials and History channel shows that give you that sense of forboding.   Sometimes in RI real estate there is just no mutual love between buyers and sellers.  It seems as though the frozen tundra is on the table and all around you.

 
There is more than the cold chill in the air, it is the lack of courtesy and poor sense of manners that amazes me.  It is like buyers and sellers revert back to their childhood behaviors if they were not disciplined properly.  OMG, perhaps we might try separate rooms for each side of the house sale...compartmentalize them...warm the chill on this real estate sale.  It just is not happening on some RI real estate transactions.
 
So how do you prevent this escalation of icicle greetings on any real estate deal?  Never having the parties come in contact with one another prior to closing.  That is why they have real estate agents.  However, there are times due to structural home repairs or mini rental home agreements prior to closing that necessitate buyers and sellers meeting.  Normally not a wise idea...I will say it again...not a wise idea.  Personalities do come out, one or the other becomes incensed and there goes that huge snowball heading down the hill at someone. 
 
What is the end prize? To reward someone with a home they want, love and to hopefully fill the coffers of the other party.  This is what buyers and sellers need to focus on.  Melt the tundra, just smile for a bit and know you never need to see that other party on the other side of the table again.  What Does Frozen Tundra Have to do with Real Estate?

So Ginny is it not a wise idea for seller and buyer to meet before the closing? (lol) jokes aside, I totally agree with your blog it's not a good ideal. I've had to melt the tundra a couple times and smile. Good Stuff

Ginny, The same practice is normally in place here.  Keep things as objective as possible, no face to face meetings usually to prevent the accidental statement that is misinterpreted.  We've had closings where people can't stand to be in the same room, and others where you'd swear they were old friends even though they just met.  You never know how the personalities will mesh.

I actually would prefer it this way. .

My most anxious moments is when my seller and potential buyers meet and have a conversation. . "like when the police was all over the neighborhood or the nudist across the street. ."

Ginny: To avoid any undue drama, I always prefer that buyers and sellers do not meet until at the closing table.

Ginny this is unfortunate but true, and a deal can fall apart very quickly because of it.

Ginny, we had 2 settlements this year where the parties could not even be in the same room. All over tiny inconsequential things on half million + homes. Folks....do not be this way. Life is too short and a loose doorknob is not the next thing to nuclear conflagration.
