6. Be respectful to all agents you speak with, especially the listing agent.

5. Be respectful to everyone during the transaction, and that includes all parties, even those you’re not representing.

4. Again, RESPECT YOUR LISTING AGENT!

3. Always respect the deadlines laid out in the original contract.

2. Do not overreact to what the inspector says of the property – it’s not going to solve anything.

1. Always wear a smile. Being courteous can help turn what can be a stressful process into an enjoyable one…for everybody!
