By team players, I mean Agent, Attorney, Mortgage broker, Appraiser and Inspector. When the team is truly looking out for the best interest of the home buyer, the buyer is relaxed, happy and generally enjoys the home buying process. How do you build the right team? Ask alot of questions with respect to years in the business, client profiles that they are most likely to work with and anything you can think of that might get you more acquainted with them.
How accessible are you team members? This one is huge because many times you will need them on the spot to answer a question, get you into a house or any number of things. Always ask for their cell phone number. If you only get the office number, it may be a sign that future communication could be a problem.
Patience. I'm going to guess that you (the home buyer) are not an expert in this ever changing real estate industry, and that's OK. So, what you want are people on your team that have patience with you and take the time to explain things. I have always believed in asking questions and if you don't understand the answer, ask more questions. Don't be afraid. If you feel that you are not being taken care of, get new team members.
At House Detective, we understand our job is not just inspecting houses. It's helping people. We are truly committed to serving our clients and getting them in to the home of their dreams.
