The Real Estate Process - Prepare to Be Judged!

Gary, I so enjoyed reading this post.  It is so true.  And as I was reading I was thinking of how one might be "judged" by a judge if they get caught failing to disclose material defects in a home.  

Hi Gary- it's good for buyers and sellers to know that they will be judged during the real estate transaction. But with preparation and by hiring the right agent, they can minimize or address any judgments. 

It's always interesting to hear the judgments that my buyers make when they walk through homes. They definitely judge, mostly negatively - and that's why it's so important to clean a house out and stage properly.

Congratulations on the feature, Gary! I love this post...it gives an entirely different perspective to what buyers and sellers should expect...so much emphasis is put on the agent's role that it overshadows the fact that buyers and sellers are also being sized up and judged.

Here comes the judge. We are always judging and evaluating. I appreciate the different perspectives you share Gary. Walk in another person's shoes. 

Hi Gary

I really enjoyed this and there is so much truth to what you said. There is lots of people interaction in our business, and online, and lots of opportunities for judging among many different parties. Something that many may not think much about!

And then there is the question, "what does the buyer plan to do with it." Ah, although the seller can ask this question, unless the answer is incorporated into the contract, it means nothing.

I love the blog Gary L. Waters, Broker Owner, Waters Realty of Brevard, LLC , it is so important for consumers to know what to expect, some get very upset when you start asking questions that need to be asked

Good evening Gary L. Waters, Broker Owner, Waters Realty of Brevard, LLC ,

Congratulations on the well deserved feature post! Questions need to be asked and communication is so important ....proper preparation and counsel is the key!

Congrats on the well deserved feature!

As a stager I must add that sellers are judged by the appearance and presentation of their home for sale too!

Gary,

Judgment is part of human nature.  Wherever you go, whatever you do someone is judging you.  Carefully thought out presentation is key for all parties, because all those little things can make or break a transaction.  A

Sometimes one can't tell if it is the Buyer...or the agent that brings an attitude to the table that costs them the deal....and how you wish you could tell the Buyer !

Gary,

Everyone constantly makes "judgments" whether they voice them or not. It's the way decisions are made.  Excellent discussion of what happens when the agent and buyer or seller are brought together. 

The judging that goes on while homebuyers go through homes on the TV shows is always interesting to hear, Gary L. Waters, Broker Owner, Waters Realty of Brevard, LLC ... sometimes frustrating, sometimes hysterical.  Everyone has an opinion.  Some are more willing than others to share it ...

I'm a little late to the party, Gary but, fantastic post - the judging part of your title also reminded me of disclosing - it's part of what we do that should always be top-of-mind.

And,  to you post points, every buyer and seller is judged by the other party - and the other agents and the participants in the transaction. ALWAYS put your best foot forward! Being adequately prepared and counseled is most certainly warranted by all buyers & sellers.

Happy Sunday, Gary!
