Very good points – thanks for sharing. Buying or selling – your Realtor is your advocate, your advisor, your negotiator, and your confidante throughout the entire process.

I agree with all that is mentioned in this article. I have been told that I have the perfect mix of parents to become a Realtor. My father owns his own CPA firm and my mother is a Therapist. These attributes are often in need as a Realtor.

Real Estate Agents converted to Psychologists, Mediators and Marriage Counselors in 1 will that something really interesting. But I think realtors should not think of just making a sale but as well as a person who will extend help especially to his or her clients and build a good relationship.

I just had this same conversation in the office yesterday after getting off the phone with a client. Houses are only a small part of the business, and so many things can stop a transaction from getting to closing.

If the Real Estate agent has really got it together they’ll start by asking the buyer what types of houses they have lived in before their current search. This shapes all of our attitudes toward purchasing a new home. I know the features I liked (and didn’t) from the previous places that I’ve called home.

How true it is. Because of all the reasons you mention, I have found over time that I much prefer to work with investors rather than residential buyers/sellers. Its just about numbers instead of emotions with investors.
