What Is All This Hoopla About Real Estate Teams?
As great as Michael Jordan is, he couldn't do it all by himself. He needed a team and each team member had a position, a job to do. The better they worked together the more championships they won.

| A Team Player |
If everyone on the team was a point guard, no matter how good they were they wouldn't get the job done and win.
Real estate transactions, have become so complicated over the past few years it is nearly impossible to do it all yourself. If an agent is listing, showing, doing contracts, coordination inspections, doing all of the paperwork and scheduling the closing, they must be exhausted.
Thus the advent of the Team concept in real estate. Each person on the team has their role, with a certain amount of cross training.
It is important that you, the buyer or seller, know that just because you talk to several people throughout your transaction it isn't that you are getting "passed around". It is because in each stage of your transaction you will have an expert to handle that particular aspect.

| Team Work Makes The Dream Work! |
Take the listing agent, for instance. Their role is to know the market, the value of houses, market trends and be able to use their expertise to give you the best available information on pricing your house. That person will complete the listing agreement paperwork, unless you would rather have it down electronically. We have a person for that.
A buyer's agent on the other hand, works only with buyers and is an expert in helping buyers get financing, discerning needs, helping to determine what a fair offer would be. This person also searches houses with you the houses and completes the contract, and negotiates the contract on your behalf.
A transaction coordinator is the one that does all of the paperwork. We live in an electronic world so 95% of the paperwork is done electronically. Her job is to keep on top of the paperwork, stay in touch with the lender and the title company and to report any problems that may need to be taken care of.
There are even more specialized positions on a team, depending on the size of the team and how many clients they are able to help at all times.
With great systems in place and experts in their positions, you are less likely to have something "fall through the cracks". Admittedly it does happen now and then. After all, we are human.
