You can take a sad song and make it better, or you can start blaming someone else and pointing the finger.  Good to great agents never point the finger and will always look to make any sad song better.  For instance I just closed on a home with clients where everyone at the table was happy.  There were Seller  shared stories of the house construction, the quirks of the property shared with the Buyer.  On the Buyer's side they shared that although they had never met the Sellers and had not lived in the town for some 20 years that the Buyer's sister was a friend of the Seller's daughter.  Once these connections were made at the table al... 05/15/2014
