When I first started real estate some years ago (like 1979!) I was taught some very basic premises, that I use to this day. When I side step or try to bend my own rules – there is usually trouble. I know I have a great committed client, when they follow the necessary steps to keep their transaction moving in the right direction.
First, it is imperative, that I sit down with my potential buyers and we have a discussion, about your expectations, what is important, setting priorities, and then I talk about my background & experience in RE sales, What I will do for you, to keep you on MLS alert for all new listings & price changes matching your criteria. It is important for me to educate my clients on what happens when we find the right home and remind them that the first thing they need to do, if they haven’t already done it, is to contact a lender of their choice to be pre approved. I am always glad to offer several lender referrals. So when we find the home of their choice, and present our offer, we are prepared, pre approved and ready to move forward. With the accepted offer the work begins.
Second, One Step at a Time, works best for me, rather than spinning our wheels trying to anticipate what might happen down the road, I believe in taking one step at a time & keep everything moving in the right direction.
Third, at the same time keeping our focus on the BIG Picture – a smooth and successful transaction close, with all parties happy! Most things work out the way they should, and getting past the “small battles” as they come up, (and I promise you they will!), moves us closer to our Happy Ending!! Mine & yours!
Over and above all I have a smile in my voice & on my face – because I love what I do!
So have a happy day and remember to contact me when you or someone you know is considering buying or selling real estate property in the Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley areas - I committed to putting a smile on your face!
