Eli Manning, New York Giants Quarterback and MVP of Superbowl XLVI. YOU are the quarterback of your home purchase...make sure you have the right team around to support you.
Netter Real Estate is proud of the New York Giants victory in Super Bowl XLVI! Eli Manning was a true field general, earning the quarterback the title of MVP of the Superbowl. But it takes a team to win the Big Game. The same is true when it comes to buying a home. YOU are the quarterback of your home purchase but you need to have a great team supporting you to make the touchdown. Our friends at KCM broke it down in such a great way, we just had to share it with you on Super Bowl Monday…
- Head Coach (Your Loan Officer) – Your loan officer should be the Head Coach. After careful analysis of your income, credit and assets, this is the person in the best position to make sure you are playing to your strengths and minimizing your weaknesses. Your loan officer can discuss the economic realities of homeownership, while listening to your quality of life concerns. (How often you’ll be able to eat out or vacation, for example.) The loan officer can set up the game plan.
- Offensive Coordinator (a great real estate agent — like any of Netter Real Estate’s professional staff) – Your real estate agent is your offensive coordinator. Armed with the game plan (which includes your limitations), the agent calls the plays, counseling you on the geography, the competition, the best ways to negotiate your way to your personal touchdown. Agents know the playing field (the inventory and the market). If you hire them to represent you with a Buyer Brokerage Agreement, they can disclose the weaknesses of your competition (the seller).
- Offensive Line (Your Attorney, Accountant and Financial Advisors) – Your attorney, accountant and financial advisors are your offensive line. They are there to protect you from the blitzes that come from outside (sellers, title issues, tax consequences, and protecting your assets). Not the glamour positions, but vital to any success you are going to have.
- Running Backs and Wide Receivers (Your Friends and Family) – Your friends and family are the running backs and wide receivers. They often receive the glory and attention, but honestly, if everyone else doesn’t do their job, they rarely ever see success. Bad game plans, weak play calling, poor execution on the offensive line or by you, as quarterback, leave them merely as names on the roster.
Working together as a team, the New York Giants achieved victory in Super Bowl XLVI. Together with your team, you'll be victorious in achieving homeownership in 2012.
As with any team, communication is the most important component to getting the desired results. Being the center of the action on the field, the quarterback (you) needs to honestly talk with your coaches and coordinators (Netter Real Estate), so they can help direct you on the proper play calling. Simultaneously, you need to heed the feedback from your offensive line, running backs, and receivers to filter wise advice from emotion. Be the quarterback of your own home-buying process and you’ll be more likely to realize your dreams (and not the dreams of someone else).
Interest rates at historic lows and reasonable home prices are a winning combination. Now is the time to take the field, find your next home and win it with your team of Netter Real Estate professionals taking you all the way home.
