When I meet people buying
their first home, they always tell me stories of their friends who, by
the time
they were done, hated the home because it caused so much stress
during the home buying process.
This amazes me as one of the
things I enjoy
seeing is that
smile on peoples faces when they unlock THEIR door for the first time. But if it was a stressful
transaction, how could
unlocking that door be joyful?
Now, I do have to admit
that at times there are things that can cause stress in a real estate
transaction, and I write about them
everyday, but you know what? My clients never hear about that kind of
stuff,
they only hear what they need to hear. I promise you they
don’t need to hear
that the other agent is having a bad day or that the inspector
got delayed in getting the report out.
All you need to know is that everything is going along smoothly and that if I see something that is out of the ordinary and that I think will actually affect you and or your pocket book, then, at that point, I will bring you in and only then.
There are a lot of things that go on behind the scenes in a real estate transaction that have to happen, but my job is to take care of those and make sure your first time home buying purchase the best it can be. I’ll take care of the little problems and you can take care of the big ones, like where will you put the couch and the television once you move in?

TC,
It is the job of all the Real Estate Professionals involved in a transaction to take outreduce the stress so that it can be a pleasant experience...!!! Thanks, Fran
P.S. BTW, This is my 12000th comment...!!!
Fran - #12,000, wow do I feel special! Thanks for the honor and I hope to return the favor with a big # one day.
Todd --- I agree with you --- back when I was listing and selling, I treated my clients the same way --- and I agree that the best feeling was when they got to closing and were so excited about their new home.
When you have a trusted real estate professional to navigate the waters of buying and selling, the joy of that new home purchase is really the focus for most buyers. Todd -- you can even send me over to help them place that sofa and get the right paint color!
Buy with Todd...my limited experience say he has the highest integrity around.
Mama Liz - I love taking that picture just as the put the key in the door for the first time as owners.
Margaret - Can you help with houses that have bad Karma?
Larry - Thanks Larry, that means a lot.
Under promise and over deliver. In today's market place we all need to make sure our clients have the smoothest transaction possible.
Terry - As a Floyd Wickman SMART graduate, isn't that we he says always to do!
That is so true. TO hold integrity throughout the whole transaction process. At times it seems impossible to do, but customers always love the results.
