I Did Not Know That?

I was sitting down with my new financial advisor (FA) the other day discussing an annuity I had purchased from my previous FA. He explained to me what I should have known when I purchased the annuity 6 years ago. I remember saying to him, “I did not know that?”  My previous FA did not explain the documents to me as my new FA was doing now. No matter, he (the previous FA) did give me a prospectus which explained everything I needed to know. There is a problem here that you may have experienced. Even if I had read the prospectus I likely would not have understood any better than by not reading it!  

  What should you know about selling or buying a home?

 Real estate transactions are the same way. There is a lot of information you need to know. But buyers and sellers may be involved in 2 or 3 transactions in their life. Those transactions are probably separated by years and the laws governing real estate transactions can be difficult to understand when only handle 2 or 3 in your life. So it would be understandable if you said, “I did not know that?”  

 A professional Realtor® may handle 2 or 3 transaction a month, or maybe a week in some cases. A Realtor® is a professional required to take part in continuing education that keeps them up-to-date on the rules and regulations of the industry and the state. An experienced Realtor® will work closely with their client to make sure that their transaction is handled in accord with those rules and regulations. A Realtor® is trained to look out for your best interest.

 My wife, Patricia, and I are Realtors®. Each year we take classes that keep us up-to-date on things we need to understand to better serve our clients. We work together with clients to understand their needs and their dreams. When we understand those things, we can put into place a plan to satisfy their needs and realize their dreams. We don’t hand our clients a stack of real estate rules and regulations and expect them to read them on their own. Our clients are important to us! We explain the way things work and what they need to do. We team up for success with every one of our clients.

Team UP for Success!
