Hire a Professional

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Pareto Realty TN #251071

I cannot BELIEVE I am writing this post.

My livelihood depends on Home Buyers and Sellers hiring me or one of the Vital Few Real Estate sales professionals of Pareto Realty.

Every minute of every day, we work tirelessly to be the best REALTORS we can be.

We pride ourselves on our knowledge and dedication to learning as much as we can, so we can deliver nothing but the best service to our loyal clients.

After all, we are “commissioned” to serve and protect our Principals (Home Buyers and Sellers).

Indefatigably, we study the Local, Regional, and National trends in the economy as they relate to the health of the housing industry . . . from housing starts (New construction), to new products, to the myriad and always morphing mortgage lending guidelines and products.

Day in and day out, we encourage Home Buyers and Sellers to hire a Real Estate Sales Professional rather than going the route of “DIY” in the form buying a house unrepresented. We have great passion about this not because we are defending our commission income as much as to protect these Home Buyers and Sellers from the harm that so often happens when they go it alone without professional representation.

Throughout my 26+ years as a REALTOR and Owner/Principal Broker, I have witnessed many unrepresented home buyers and sellers suffer egregious angst and financial damages because of “innocent ignorance” or worse . . . being taken advantage of by “opposing” savvy parties.

Almost always – by the time they call me for advice – It’s too late. The damage is done, and there’s no easy way of inexpensively (In terms of time, energy, or money) extricating them from the tangled web of a transaction they’ve contractually committed to perform.

So . . . Why can’t I BELIEVE I am writing this post?

As I prepare to go out of town for a week later this month, I’ve been searching for a friend (any friend) who would be willing take care of my 4 GoldenDoodles while I’m gone. This is what I’ve done EVERY time I’ve gone out of town with very mixed results . . . I seldom got regular updates, and a few times thought the dogs had been neglected . . . yet – to “save a few bucks” I didn’t hire a professional dog sitter.

The peace of mind of knowing that my pups are in great care along with photo up-dates and fun anecdotes is worth whatever it costs . . . Signing up for Rover.com now

Whatever the need . . . Hire a Professional!

Lesson learned (AGAIN)!

How often do YOU need to re-learn this?

Sometimes lessons learned from other life situations are worthy to retell as educational and applying equally to real estate. Hope you enjoy your vacation and your trip and the dogs have a good time as well.

Always hire a professional, it's less expensive in the long run!  Peace of mind is what you want when you are away from the puppies you love. Have a fun time!

I don't think we have any professionl dog sitting people in our small town. If I ever had to leave my dogs behind, I'd have to board them with our veterinarian.

Hiring a friend isn't always safe. One time, years ago when I was with animal rescue, we took in an older dog - a German Pointer. After she'd been with us for a couple of weeks, members started talking about trying to find her a new home. I said "No, someone will be looking for her."

Sure enough, one day a young man walked in and the minute he spoke, that dog jumped up and started to bark. He had left his dog with a "friend" while he drove his Grandmother to a cancer clinic in Seattle. When he returned and went to get his girl, the friend said "Oh, she's not here. She took off the day after you left."

I told him he needed better friends.

I own two felines, and I can tell you it has kept me from traveling as much as I'd like because I worry about them so.  However, I am fortunate to have family who do take good care of them when I do need to be away.

Kathy Streib It was awful that the young man  had such an uncaring friend, but since the boy and his dog were reuinted in the end, it had a happy ending.
