Privilege and Trust!
AFTER 23 YEARS marketing and selling real estate in this area, specifically around the Montville region, I genuinely feel privileged to have been invited to so many interesting and varied properties and to have met so many varied and interesting people.
Those working in real estate should consider what they do as a privilege. They get to meet so many interesting people they would otherwise not meet, both buyers and sellers, from a wide variety of backgrounds, very often with an amazing range of experiences.
In the case of potential buyers, in assisting with one of the biggest purchases of their lives the agent is trusted to help them find, in many cases, the property of their dreams, and if not of their dreams, then one that best fits their expectations and budget.
In fulfilling this obligation, the agent needs to be informed and conversant with all, and every aspect of the property and the area it occupies, passing information on honestly so that the buyer can make considered decisions.
In the case of sellers this leads to the privilege of being invited to inspect and explore properties which under normal circumstances would only be available to friends and acquaintances.
With the agent and agency entrusted to give advice by way of market appraisals, marketing advice, state of the current real estate market etc., and more importantly entrusted to work in the best interests of the seller, whilst of course treating all potential buyers honestly and fairly.
One of the greatest examples of trust is when an agent/agency is given keys to a property.
The keys are not just providing the agency with access – they are allowing the agency to take perfect strangers into an owner’s private place, one of the most private of all, their own home – a privilege indeed!
