Your Real Estate Team
What is the law of significance? Simply defined..."One is too small a number to achieve greatness." According to John C Maxwell, "You may be good, buy you're not that good." Why is that? Because greatness involves teamwork.
Why is teamwork important? Because as one Chinese Proverb states, "Individuals play the game but teams win championships." Teamwork is important in most every aspect of our lives. Teamwork is important in families, in careers, in friendships, and in real estate too! Having a good team on your side is important to a successful real estate transaction.
Who is on your team? The real estate listing agent, the buying agent, their brokers, the home inspector, the appraiser, the lender, the bank, the pest inspector, the escrow officer, the employer, the landlord, the buyer, the seller, and the list goes on and on. It is vital that your team plays well together. If your team isn't the right team, you will never achieve the end result.
Your real estate agent is the team leader. What qualities should your real estate leader possess? Here are just a few:
- A good communicator - It is extremely important that your real estate agent communicates well. They answer their phone when possible, return phone calls, and they keep all parties involved up to date on what is happening in the transaction.
- They take initiative - They know what needs to be done and they do it. There is no beating around the bush, no sweeping matters under the carpet. They take matters in their hands and get things done!
- They listen - They know what is important to you and they do what is necessary to get you to what you want. They listen more than they speak, their main concern is YOU and what is important to you.
- They are trustworthy - they do what the say they are going to do. It is important that you can rely on your agent. The real estate transaction can be bumpy so it is important to have someone on your team that you can trust completely.
- A team-player - With all the parties involved in the transaction it is important that your real estate agent is personable and plays well with others! No one succeeds alone....your team=your dream!
Leaders are just people leading people....make sure your real estate leader is leading the way to your successful close!
