It's human nature to be proud of our successes...and to use those in our marketing. Truthfully, who would really trust a broker who did nothing but talk about mistakes? Well, mistakes do happen and it's part of the reason to use me as your agent.
Real estate has a lot of moving parts. As a real estate broker, I often have a number of transactions going at the same time....each with different moving parts. I don't think I've ever had a seamlessly smooth transaction without any issues to resolve.
Most often these issues are easily overcome and handled, but there have been times when I just blew it. Not necessarily meaning the transaction doesn't close, or the parties are injured...in fact, if I make a mistake that could damage a principal financially, I ALWAYS compensate for it. But mistakes do happen and they turn into lessons.
Why would you want to hire me as your agent when I've just admitted to mistakes? Because these mistakes turn into lessons and then into experience. The more experience I have, the more I know how to address issues and the smoother your escrow will go.
Quick example from this past weekend. I have a listing ready to close this morning at 8am. Saturday, I got an urgent call from the buyers agent saying the buyers never received HOA documents. (yes, they have already removed this contingency). Based on my experience, I knew that title could get these documents. A quick call to my title rep resulted in HOA documents emailed within a half an hour.
Problem solved!
Would a less experienced agent know that this was the answer on a Saturday morning? Hire me for my good experiences, but also for the lessons I've learned along the way.
