The African-American Guide to Real Estate Investing
There’s no doubt that many of you have felt the continuous ebb and flow of the real estate market in recent years. What separates top producers from their less-successful counterparts in this and every market is their ability to work on their business while working in their business.

Have you ever played the game telephone? You say something to the person directly next to you, they
whisper the “same message” in the next person’s ears and so it goes around the circle. By the time the last person receives the message, it’s usually all garbled and funky. Sometimes the message ends up not making any sense.
Perception is in the ears of the listener.
When you are working with a real estate buyer or seller, make sure all parties are present and accounted for when the most important decisions are being made. Letting one person relay information to the other party about big decisions - price negotiations, home inspection repair issues and last-minute closing mishaps - is setting the scene for a game of telephone.
You don’t know what will end up being the final words.
Sometimes, communicating with only one person can’t be avoided. You might have a spouse who is overseas or an in-law who just can’t travel because of health reasons.
Understood.
Here is where the power of the Internet kicks in. If you can’t meet both parties in person during the listing or home finding process, get confirmation online from the person who is M.I.A.
Don’t trust that your game of telephone is going to be successful.
As a Realtor, are you having a hard time broaching the topic with your clients? Think about the grief and misunderstandings that you’ll save your clients by establishing a clear line of communication with both parties.
You don’t want to get vetoed by the missing party after all signs were a “go.” Even presidential elections have absentee ballots.
