Off on an Indiana Jones Adventure - This One is a Movie Entry
Thanks to all of you who commented on Off on an Adventure with Indiana Jones expecting it to be an entry for Roger's contest. It got me thinking that perhaps I should write an entry for best actress. Yes, I know that Indiana wasn't an actress, but my life as a real estate broker some days feels like nothing less than an Indiana Jones adventure.
Trying to close certain transactions for our clients can make Indy's adventures feel almost tame. Poison darts? How about all of those poison darts created by the inspection? The buyer is now completely freaked out by aluminum wiring that will burn down the house while his family sleeps! Five figures worth of termite damage that needs to be repaired!! Like Indiana, it's my job to find away around the poison darts and save the day.
Let's call in an electrician and find out what the cost is to pigtail the wiring at each outlet. Maybe we don't need to rip out all of the wiring from the house. Let's have another termite company and contractor give us a second opinion or show that part of the reason the house is under market is because of the termite damage.
Cool heads can save the day and like Marion and Indiana surviving the spirits of the ark by knowing they must close their eyes, understanding the ups and downs of a real estate transaction allows us to help our clients survive and thrive when buying or selling a house.
Are you looking for a broker who understands the ins and outs of the adventures of home selling and buying? Please give me a call at 714-319-9751.
