Having a team of PRO's is important in any market. Given the current "agent/lender exodus" it's even more crucial to have a team of trustworthy experts on your side. I interviewed and rejected a lot of loan officers and inspectors before I was able to find the top performers I work with now. While finding the "right" home at the "right" price is the main focus of our clients, that's the easy part for an experienced Realtor. There's a lot more to a successful transaction than that, a lesson our former colleagues are learning the hard way these days. Hey there Sparky, Right on with the article!
