Expanding your transaction coordinator business? If so, we have some questions that will help you during the on-boarding process. Getting off on the right foot is imperative, and so is giving each and every one of your clients a personalized experience in doing business with you. The best way to kick things off with a new client is by getting all the details.
Real estate transactions are not something to take lightly. The sheer magnitude of property prices establishes these sales as not only high-profit but also high-risk. There are many risks associated with the real estate business. While there are risks in both buying and selling properties, the stakes are heightened for sellers. However, many of these harsh realities don’t hit until after the transaction has been finalized.
It’s no secret that the latest advancements in tech tools are completely changing the game by giving a competitive edge to players in nearly every major industry - real estate included.
Adopting new technologies isn’t always easy. It can mean changing up the way we do things, adjusting workflows, and taking the time to settle into the new software — and we haven’t even mentioned training and troubleshooting.
Home sellers often think that once the sale is complete and the new owners have moved into a property that everything is done. But, for many home sellers, what should be an exciting post-sale time takes an ugly turn when new owners bring forward legal action, sometimes referencing issues that the home seller had no knowledge of.
Agents, it’s time to up your listing presentation game. The real estate industry is competitive as ever, and agents need to find their edge to get noticed. Winning a listing is all about putting your best foot forward — and luckily, listing presentations allow agents to do just that.
When purchasing or selling real estate, contingencies are your protection. A deal’s contingencies are pre-set terms that must be met in order for the transaction to move forward. These ‘make it or break it’ points stand as powerful security measures set in place to protect everyone involved in a deal - both buyers and sellers alike.
It’s estimated that there are over 40 million lawsuits filed in the United States each year. And, you can bet that in a transaction as large as the purchase and sale of real estate, that if a buyer or seller feels they were wronged — they’re going to sue.
Although unfortunate, lawsuits in the real estate industry are more common than you might think. When navigating through property transactions, real estate agents can be legally vulnerable — as buying or selling a home is a complex undertaking. As a broker, this liability extends to you and your business.
In nearly every industry, there’s been a recent surge of enthusiasm and interest in consumer experience (CX). Brands are shifting their focus to producing a positive experience for their clients, and it’s completely transforming contemporary business.

Selling a home isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. From choosing the right asking price to open houses, paperwork, inspections, and more — there are a million things to check off the to-do list before closing.
