Most everyone is familiar with what the letters in TEAM stand for. It's an acronym popular among the Motivation crowd, but Together Everyone Achieves More, is much more than a simple phrase that goes on a poster, it really should be embraced. You the client are the most important piece of the puzzle, and deserve to have a team built around you, focusing on helping you achieve your goals.
So who should be on team you? The usual suspects obviously, realtor, mortgage broker, lawyer. But also consider some others. Inspector. Accountant. Electrician. Plumber... the list goes on. But the first 3 are probably most important, and you can't/shouldn't purchase or sell real estate, without them. In fact, in today's market, you'd be absolutely crazy to even try. But what about the others? Having access to an accountant to quickly answer questions about HST on a purchase, capital gains tax or residency, is a huge benefit. Similarly, being able to snap and send a photo of something weird you see at a house to a home inspector for his opinion, is truly invaluable. Keep these in mind when assembling your team: The Late Jim Rohn famously said, "you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with." So doesn't it make sense to surround yourself with successful people? People bringing you closer to your dreams?
