real living orlando: The Burden of Being a Great Realtor... - 10/06/09 02:10 AM
As I have always said the burden of being a great realtor is "thinking" for all parties in the contract...
I approach each transaction as if I am the only representative in the deal... that strategy will get you and your customer(s) to a happy and stress free closing.   Now don't get me wrong, I don't represent all parties.   And on occasion, I relax knowing that I have an experienced agent on the other side of the transaction.   Overall I attribute my success and my customer's happiness to asking a lot of questions and thinking for all parties...
