Transparency is Key in Real Estate

Expert Real Estate Broker Scott Underwood Explains the Value of Openness 

Investing in real estate is no simple decision. The process can be clouded by misinformation and confusion for either party, further complicating already intricate transactions. Those involved in the industry—buyers, sellers and brokers alike—are now realizing what many may have already deduced from their prior experiences: transparency is key to real estate.

Transparency is characterized by visibility or accessibility of information especially concerning business practices. In real estate, transparency means all parties; buyers, sellers, brokers, agents, lenders and escrow have access to information about the transaction. Candor with all parties is the best way to achieve true transparency.

Before, internet real estate was a closed system where only the players had information about properties for sale. Now, real estate information is available to everyone. Transparency is more vital than ever before, as realtors are needed to translate and illuminate the information buyers may stumble across online.

The flow of information and data between parties can become convoluted, however, without the proper authority to assign its meaning. The best real estate agents and brokers will take on this role, becoming the interpreter for all involved. By interpreting data and information, real estate agents add value to the interaction, which in turn expedites the process and eases the nerves of buyers. Brokers and agents who practice this type of transparency enlighten and guide their clients to make the best decisions.

One simple rule of thumb to be practiced by real estate agents is to CC clients to keep them in the loop. Realtors who practice transparency and involve buyers in the process bring a sense of assurance and comfort to their clients, ensuring they will walk away feeling good about their investment.
