Keep the Best Interests in Mind
This isn’t just about avoiding liabilities and making sure you look good. It is most important to note that it is in the client’s best interest that you are the one negotiating their inspection. Again, you are the one they hired for the job. And you are the agent who owes your client a fiduciary duty to act (negotiate) in their best interest.
What’s better for your client, a professional transaction coordinator negotiating things, or a professional real estate agent ? This absolutely not a knock on the transaction coordinator’s capabilities. However, when your buyer or seller clients decided to hire you, I highly doubt it was because you pitched them on how great of a negotiator your transaction coordinator is. Nope. You’ll tell any prospective client you meet about how great of a deal you’re going to help them secure. So, do it.
It is in your best interest to make sure your client secures the best possible deal on the purchase or sale of their home. This doesn’t end once you have a contract in place. In fact, that’s when things usually get more interesting. It’s highly critical that you guide your client through the entire inspection process, ensuring they are not gouged by the other party. Or, even worse, the deal falls apart.
Do you clients a favor – make sure you negotiate every bit of their transaction – to get the best deal possible. While you do that, our Transactly Coordinators will take care of the rest!
