Is Bill Belichick on your Real Estate Team?

Football season is upon us and I am struck by how much the road to the college National Championship, or the Super Bowl is a lot like buying/selling a house.

When the season starts, or when you begin your search for a new home, there is boundless enthusiasm.  Every team is a title contender, and most every house you look at on-line is perfect.

As the season progresses all but a few teams will lose a game or two, and those houses that looked perfect on-line, end up on the sidelines in real life.

Come playoff time, Just a handful of teams remain in contention for the championship, and only a few houses remain on the list to be your new home.

In football, however, it’s not always team versus team and a game played on the field.  Every once in a while, those "pesky" zebras or officials throw a flag that can and often times does influence the outcome of a game.

In real estate, we also have “officials” that can interfere with getting a transaction across the goal line. Officials like lenders, underwriters, appraisers, home inspectors and others can and do influence the negotiations or getting the deal to closing. 

As a realtor, I often serve as the “Bill Belichick" or coach of your team throwing the challenge flag for you, my client.  I can think of numerous times where I helped “overturn a penalty” that resulted in a win for my clients.

While it’s fun to make analogies between football and real estate, I don’t play games when it comes to handling your real estate transaction.  I provide top level service and advice to ensure your transaction is penalty free!
