Experienced Agents Can Smooth the Way When Things Go Wrong in a Real Estate Transaction

You take a jet liner from Honolulu to Seattle. It’s a day light flight with clear skies. The plane lands safely (maybe the onboard computer puts it down).  You’re thinking those pilots are overpaid. You take the same jet liner, at night, when there’s a vicious cross wind at Honolulu and dense fog at SeaTac. You’re thinking those pilots can’t be paid enough when my life is on the line.

Similarly, some real estate transactions move ahead with little or no turbulence; others, as in the fog and crosswind situation, are fraught with dangers. With an attention to detail bred in the bone, good real estate professionals foresee problems. The good brokers head them off with due diligence and proper contract provisions. The trained professional makes it looks easy. That’s attention to detail and experience at work … earning its keep.. 

Consider these bumps in the night: a fair housing claim, the unexpected LID charge, the dishonored earnest money check, an abandoned on-site sewage system, the buyers suddenly want to store things in the garage before closing, the pest inspector turned out to lack a proper license.  

Between the lip and the cup, between mutual acceptance and close … lots of unexpected winds may call for a steady hand at the controls. 

As the case with air flight, despite best planning … real estate transactions can get bumpy.  It’s then that you want your fate in the hands of the best professional the industry can produce  … you want an exprienced agent to bring your plane in on time, profitably, and safely.
