Your Job Matters, So Do It

 

In a real estate transaction, there are many people who have a job to make the transaction successful.

 

Just as a start, here are a few of the jobs, which are potentially involved in the transaction:

 

  • Listing Agent
  • Buyer's Agent
  • Loan Officer
  • Loan Processor
  • Loan Underwriter
  • Home Inspector
  • Pest Inspector
  • Well and Septic Inspectors
  • Appraiser
  • Insurance Agent
  • Title Abstracter
  • Property Lien Reviewer
  • Title Attorney
  • Short Sale Negotiator
  • HOA/Condo Document Preparer
  • and others.

 

Some of these people may get paid regardless of what happens, but most of these individuals do not get paid if the transaction does not take place.

 

In other words, whether you get paid minimum wage or you are making $150,000 per year, the actions that you take or do not take and the speed at which you do them impact all of these jobs.  You are all a link in the chain.

 

Not only are you impacting these jobs, but you are affecting the Buyer and the Seller, which usually includes more than just the Buyer and the Seller.  For instance the Buyer is moving from someplace, so there is a similar transaction taking place to either sell or rent the place from where they are coming and the Seller is usually the Buyer or Renter for another place.

 

All of these buyers, sellers, and renters have made plans for their lives around these moves.  The plans may involve a new job, a new school, a moving company, the purchase of furniture, the opening of new accounts for utility services, and so on.

 

Just one individual, no matter where they stand on the pay scale, in this chain of the real estate transaction can have an impact on the lives of all of these people.

 

Maybe, especially if you are on the low end of the salary scale, you still do not care, however, if you do not take an attitude of caring, then you will never move up the salary scale.

 

Remember: your job matters, so do it.

Ron,

Great!  Thanks a lot!  I was going to mope around acting like nobody cares about me, but apparently the weight of the world is on my shoulders.

Ron,

So what you are saying is that it takes a village or something like that.

Ron,

It makes sense, but some people will still not care one bit.
