Fishing with Explosives

 

You wouldn't dare take feelings to a fact fight, right?

 

So, I must question why so many people continue to show up unprepared and do exactly that! Little is gained except perhaps a combative, explosive environment, embarrassment and disappointment, especially when the other side shows up armed with reliable, up-to-date information.

 

• • • 💥 🧨 💥 • • •

 

Properly representing a client to the fullest means being prepared, it can prevent costly results, unfavorable terms and potential, legal consequences. Tempers can flare for some, because of the emotional nature of the real estate process when things go south. Facts clearly outweigh feelings.

 

Taking a proactive approach reduces stress for your client and increases the likelihood of a successful closing, avoiding the dreaded "the deal fell through" notification. Coordinating effectively with all affiliates and other parties that are involved, matters for a successful closing.

 

• • • 💥 🧨 💥 • • •

 

And when it comes to fishing in Utah, avoid taking any shortcuts by leaving your crossbow and explosives at home. According to the Utah Fishing Guidebook, it’s illegal to use any chemical, explosive, electricity, poison, firearm, pellet gun, or archery equipment to take fish or crayfish.

 

These are facts folks and must be abided by, just like real estate rules and regulations that guide our industry. Show up prepared for clients sake, it builds trust when representing them and becomes crucial, as part of the success story, instead of a blown up fish tale about the one that got away!

One of my first jobs was at Lloyds of London working in Aviation Insurance with Norwich Union who were always one of the lead underwriters for policies. I clearly remember a claim being denied for a hovercraft being used in the Suez Canal which had been insured when it was discovered they were throwing explosives off the front and driving over the top to record the seismic report. As my underwriter said, "Do you really think that was a good idea, and why do you think I would have insured that if I had known that was what you were doing." As you say, the broker had not been prepared and had not told the underwriter all the facts. Imagine his clients who discovered they were not covered for their destroyed hovercraft when they thought they were.

The words, "I don't know" for simple questions, Brian England, may be reason enough to release that agent and find a better professional who is definitely prepared!

Their exciting excursion reely cost the owner of the hovercraft, Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543. Dr. Phil has a saying that came to mind as I was reading your comment, "You can't fix stupid." He is right about that!

Yes indeed, facts matter, and being prepared matters, and not throwing dynamite in the lake matters.

Oh yes, we do need to be fully prepared when representing a buyer or a seller in any market. It always amazes me when agents from a few hours away represent clients in my area. They know nothing about our lake, sub-divisions, etc.

The interesting title of your blog led me to read it. The body was equally interesting. While I was never a Boy Scout, I respect the motto "Be Prepared." Be prepared to serve your clients at the highest level possible.

At one time, there was talk of one MLS for the entire state. I could see lawsuits going way up if that happened because everyone would practice real estate all over Utah, Dr. Paula McDonald. Glad the discussion went away.

Hello Miss Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! - I went fishing for your post because the title caught my eye.  

Facts are very stubborn.  Emotions must be checked at the door. A level head will lead the way and prevent an explosive unintended outcome.
