Sisters That Sell

You have ruined the first time home buying experience for me in San Antonio, Texas!

These are the words I heard from my buyer today. Not about me, about him….the lender of “her choice” (not mine or I would even venture to say, anyone’s).  These are the words I dread.

All I can do is educate & hope folks listen to me. All I can do is speak of experiences with other lenders, title companies, contractors, etc.  If you still choose to choose your own, all I can do is listen to you & be baffled.

Yes, I will try to contact the lender when they won’t return your call, yes, I will re-schedule the closing when we can’t close on time & yes, I will help you re-arrange your schedule with the movers, babysitters, employer & school so you can still move in before the weekend.  I will.

But I will also ask you again…………

Why wouldn’t you want to go with someone who is tried & true? Why wouldn’t you want to go with someone I can give you references for? Who will call you back, do whatever is possible to close on time & truly EARN your business so you will call them, 4,6,9,22 years from now when you buy again or refinance?  Why wouldn’t you want to go with someone who works on commission?  Wha-wha-wha-wha-WHY?

The home buying process is like putting a puzzle together. All the pieces need to fall into place for a buyer to get to the closing table & make that home theirs.  Ask questions of the professionals you choose to represent you, Realtors, Loan Officers, Inspectors & Home warranty companies.  Make sure they have the answers you need & are committed to you & your dream of home ownership.
