Not on Schedule

When real life, real people and real things happen.

Real estate transactions are all unique. Its amazing to me. No matter how many clients I service and settlements I am a part of there is always something different. Each transaction goes through the exact same steps but the outcome is always different. In the beginning of the process I sit down with my clients and create a timeline, a scenerio of events that will take place throughout the real estate transaction.

And then real life, real people and real things happen.

This week an important document from the lender didn't get a signature on time. These things happen.

Last week a home owners insurance quote required a timely trade technician's report about the house. These things happen.

The movers show up late which starts a domino affect of a late settlement, an even later walk through and a delay in move in which includes the delay and rescheduling of all the professionals lined up to service the events scheduled after the move out. It happens.

I strive to stay on top of all the moving parts (pun intended) of a real estate transaction. When a curve ball gets thrown in (and it will!) we address it and move forward. We always get through it, whatever the real life, real people and real things that come our way.

Each transaction has it's own unique reality. Certainly it doesn't make one deal better or worse it's just the reality of that transaction and house. Maybe the garage door has a quirk when it opens and the living room paint looks pink in certain light. Life happens all around us. It's never picture perfect for long but that is the beauty of life. Enjoy your real life Christmas and holiday season!
