Relocate to Wisconsin : Time is of the Essence for Everyone in Every Way....

   This phrase " Time is of the Essence" has become to some agents, buyers, sellers, like the picture on your desk, the mirror on the wall....you get soooo used to seeing it, you forget that it's there...that it is a very big part of "THE BIG PICTURE."

It is a HUGE part of he rules that we all play by...the legal thread that binds the contract...the obligations that the buyer and seller have to each other.  The professional courtesies that should be extended to agents...co-brokes...the one at the next k....every agent. The one who referred the business from across the country...the one who wrote the offer for half price at the direction of the buyer.

Everyone runs across the agent, the buyer, the seller that comes from the "My way, my time" school or "If I don't want to, I don't have to" monarch of irresponsibility....and the sellers house is not ready to show...the call is not returned for a showing...the buyer doesn't have their earnest money in, the inspection hasn't been scheduled. The listing agent did not return the calll...and oops forgot to show the listing as active with offer...the selling agent neglected to remind the buyers to____________, the buyers didn't complete the loan application, give their landlord timely notice... You chose not to, did not read/respond to e-mail from the agent, lender,buyer, seller ....and the list goes on.

   Whether you are as an agent, buyer, seller, lender..."contractually bound" to dates....or it is a matter of professional courtesey...timely response for showing reports...inquiries by fax or e-mail...don't throw the watch down the rabbit hole...heads up....before the time's up....be a Nike devotee...Just Do It...Make it now !
