Be the glue, not part of the puzzle!
As a REALTOR® I feel my role in a transaction and in advocating for my clients is somewhat that of working through a jigsaw puzzle. There are many intricate pieces to the big puzzle and each must fit perfectly and interlock with the others to create the final picture.
The finished work of art being a picture of an elated seller and thrilled buyer hugging each others necks in front of the “Just Sold Home” Here are the many pieces to this puzzle.
Puzzle Pieces; AKA Those involved in the transaction
*Buyer(s) Spouses, Kids and Other family members i.e. Father, Mother, Brother etc
*Seller(s) Spouses, Kids and Other family members plus 1 cat and two dogs
*Co-Agent and any assistant plus their Managing Broker
*Loan Officer and their assistant
*Lenders processor
*Loan Underwriter
*Loan Investor
*Appraiser
*Insurance Agent
*Home Inspector
*Termite Inspector
*Other pertinent inspectors i.e. Well, Septic, Radon, Lead Paint, Mold, Duct work etc.
*Contractors or Trades (Repair People) Plumber, Electricians, Roofers, Flooring
*Escrow/Title Officer and assistants
*Attorneys (some states)
*Surveyors
*And if things don’t go perfectly maybe the seller or buyers attorney..Yikes!
Anyway, a lot pieces to a complex and often difficult puzzle. The border is typically created 
by the buyer and seller (the contract) while the guts of the puzzle is fulfilling the contract terms, making the necessary contacts and managing objections. There is one final and very important component to this complex puzzle and that would be the REALTORS® We are the architect of this awesome puzzle and the GLUE that keeps it all together.
Just be sure you're the glue and not part of the puzzle!
