Real Estate is Not a Part Time Profession Today

Depending on who you talk to you will get a different answer about the current state of our economy.  Some people will say that we are in recovery, some say it's a double dip recession and some even go so far as to say depression.  Whatever we call it, there is no disputing that we have all been effected to some degree.

In the real estate profession, we have seen some lenders and Realtors make adjustments.  Some have left the industry and others are changing professions and working real estate or lending part time to supplement their income.  They are doing what they have to, to get by.  And it's likely that when the economy turns around, they will be back.  But what about today?

When you are buying or selling a home, you deserve to have  professionals fully invested in their jobs, today.  Someone who is working in the real estate business 100% full time, today.  There are just too many details and deadlines that can be overlooked when your transaction is not a priority.  And it should be.  Missed deadlines or details can mean that you do not close on time.

When you begin interviewing lenders and Realtors to represent you, ask "Do you do this full time?"  If the answer is no, I suggest you move on. 

I want you to know that aside from my health and family, real estate is my priority.  So, your transaction will be my priority.  Call me at the CENTURY 21 Goodyear Green office today, 405-359-7400.  Ask for me, Kristyn Grewell.  I promise, I'm working today.  And tomorrow.
