There are a lot of things that must take place in a real estate transaction...but getting to the closing table has got to rank pretty high on everybody's list!
Okay, so we have battled our way to the end of our home search--it's down to the wire. The question is, can the closer come through and score a touch down. Well, this all depends on who is going to get us into the end zone. Let us liken this to a football game; we are in the fourth quarter, and down to seconds left on the clock. The quarterback is the one who is responsible for making it happen...get the ball into the end zone--and in the real estate game, it is the closer who is the "star receiver" of the game. As we have all seen, some games are a blowout, and you can bring out your third-string players when you have a huge lead, with no fear of losing your lead. Now, here in the real estate game, the problem is...you are never so far ahead that you can let your guard down. But, you say, Skip I thought it all relied on you as my agent to "get us into the end zone"...correct! But keeping in the football analogy, I am the quarterback. I have to throw the football in the last seconds, and it is up to the star receiver to put the ball in the breadbasket, and get it into the end zone without fumbling the ball. 
If you are the buyer or the seller in the transaction then this may be the Superbowl to you...are you willing to bring out your third string players and risk losing the game? I should hope not! So, why would you choose any less than the best to get you to the closing table? Hey, right here I could bore you with the vetting process; but needless to say, experence is the way to tell who to choose and not to choose. Let your agent help, he knows the closers and has had previous experience and interaction with many closers. Through the years I have had the entire spectrum from Stellar to "well not going to be able to get this to close because I didn't do my job". Remember you hired me to get you into the end zone...let me help make sure we get there!
