Realtors and Lawyers are too often like cats and dogs. As a lawyer, I have often worked closely with Realtors but too often I've been unnecessarily rude - ok, downright nasty - to Realtors whose only concern seems to be that the deal close so they can get paid. As a Realtor, I've been frustrated with slow moving and obstructionist lawyers who never seem to appreciate the effort that the Realtor puts into the process of buying or selling a piece of property. Maybe this can be fixed. But as with cats and dogs, sometimes it can be. Sometimes not. Caught in the middle of this of course are the parties to the transaction. It's their money and their property. All subjects for further discussion.
Buyers and Sellers really have to understand the process of buying and selling. They really have to understand the roles of the Realtor, lawyer, mortgage broker, lender, title company, the inspector, the surveyor and every one else who is involved in the transfer of real estate. All subjects for further discussion.
From time to time, there will be pertinent issues concerning real estate: cost versus value analyses, interest rate and market fluctuations, tax benefits and detriments. All subjects for further discussion.
There will be other topics to be discussed. Hopefully it'll be interesting, informative and fun.
