Every deal takes on a life of its own with its own set of twists and turns. Some deals are certainly easier than others. A difficult deal is the true test of the capabilities of those involved, it is when brilliance shines and incompetence fails and it is what makes the difference between deal makers and deal breakers.

We as realtors co-operate with each other, which is the same as forming a partnership lasting for that short span of time beginning with the showing of a house, negotiating a deal, culminating in an executed contract, cresting at closing. For that span of time, communicating with each other and working closely together creates a bond between the parties that will always be remembered and can never be broken.
