Why We Need Agents

THINGS CAN GO WRONG IN A TRANSACTION

THAT’S WHY YOUR AGENT EARNS THE FEE

Y

ou take a jet liner from Honolulu to Seattle. It’s a day light flight with clear skies. The plane lands safely (maybe the on board 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, your Windermere agent foresees problems. Your agent heads them off with due diligence and proper contract provisions. The trained professional makes it look easy. That’s attention to detail and experience at work … earning its keep.

When the unforeseen occurs in a real estate transaction, when things go wrong that could not be anticipated … the sudden crosswind, the fog bank … then your agent really earns that commission.   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 a Windermere agent to bring your plane in on time, profitably, and safely.

 

What can go wrong:  Discrimination Claims; Do I Have to Disclose that My Siding Manufacturer is a Class Action Target?; Do I have to Tell Them I Need to Sell My Old Home to Have Closing Costs?; I Have to Pay What! Surprise Charges; Failure to Give Lead Paint Disclosure Could Result in Fine; I Thought the Warranty Covered It!; Should I Disclose the Sex Offender in Our Neighborhood?; Abandoned On-site Septic Systems; Consumer Protection Violation Looms if A Seller Advertise a Home Incorrectly as to Bedrooms; My Seller is a Foreign Person and I End Up Paying the IRS; The Pest Inspector Turns out to Lack Proper License. …

Just to name some things that can go wrong that your agent deals with you for you.  A good pilot, read professional real estate agent, is a thing of beauty.
