This real estate attorney and REALTOR® author duo combine the experience in getting transactions through closing, as well as avoiding lawsuits in the process. One of the points stressed the most in this book is that communication and record-keeping will avoid most problems. Common sense help with how to keep your client(s) informed throughout the process, as well as how to document what was said, when and to whom is invaluable information.
There is even advice and example documents for situations in which you may want to sound very formal or in other cases be more friendly in your approach. It's all structured around providing good client service, but doing so in a way that doesn't put you at risk. Throughout the book we are reminded that even the best client, a friend or relative, can have selective memory when it's in their interest.
