THE CHERRY GROUP, THE COCONUT GROVE REALTORS, WARNS: HIRE PROS

I can't think of anyone asking a doctor friend to do him a favor and and give him free by-pass surgery or an accountant buddy to knock out some numbers for his tax return. Then, here's some good advice. Don't place one of the most important assets in your life with your "cousin" just because she's a licensed Realtor. Interview and hire the most qualified with a track record of success. The same goes for choosing a lawyer if you think you desire representation for a real estate closing. We have a client teetering on the precipice of losing the sale of his home because he selected a lawyer buddy to do a favor. The old saying, "You get what you pay for" is a truism if ever there was one!
