Don't ever say "anything is a sure thing," even if you have the strongest buyer or the best house in your market. These last couple of months have been very enlightening, to the fact that even though you may have the strongest contract, a listing that offers the best price per square footage and an optimal location, this does not mean we have control over the process. We as professionals', buyers and sellers need to take an extra roll and initiate in making sure your needs are met for you as a consumer and us as a working entity.

We need to ensure that our clients are fully aware of the process that is going on out there in terms of, time frames, numbers that can adjust closing terms, buyers incentives and notifying sellers that buyers may ask for a 10% discount including their closing costs, even if it is an FHA/Conventional loan.

Loan terms and regulation changes have made some adjustments to the way we communicate and how we can actually follow through on deadlines for the consumers. So make sure you and your clients are educated, so we can make it as easy as it can be in the home buying process! Home buying does not need to be the most difficult thing to do.
