Teamwork Makes Things Work
Kobe Bryant is an amazing player on the Los Angeles Lakers, yet he did not win LA's NBA championships on his own.
The Boston Bruins did not just win the Stanley Cup because of the effort of one person.
The Dallas Mavericks did not just win the NBA playoffs because Mark Cuban is a great owner.
Instead, all of the above situations took place because it was the effort of an entire team that made everything turn out positive.
I played sports while growing up, so I have the same approach to my business -- teamwork makes things work.
Even though in a real estate transaction you will spend the majority of the time working with just one agent, great agents use the resources of a whole team to make it all come together. From working with a great lender, escrow officer and title officer, a buyer or seller should never feel like they are along when working through their transaction.
If you are a distressed home seller, then the team approach is even more important. Having a good team is important because unlike a standard sale where the seller will receive money out of the transaction, in a short sale there are legal and tax implications that you need to ask about to make sure there are no surprises on the closing day.
To help avoid any surprises, I provide clients with resources to real estate attorneys, tax advisors and other resources to make sure that a seller is not going through the process alone.
Superstars are fun to watch, but at the end of the day the process is much easier because it was an entire team effort.
