There are seven deadly sins in real estate, offenses that could turn off any consumer. (Actually, I can think of many more sins, but we’re keeping it simple for now.) If you commit any of them, then you can blame yourself for the loss of a client. As real estate professionals, we can be amazing advocates for consumers, but there’s always room to improve. Start by absolving yourself of these shameful transgressions.
Sin No. 1: Abandonment
Sin No. 3: Not Asking Enough Questions
You work your butt off to earn clients’ trust and win their business. They share intimate details with you, and you become their confidante. But after the sale, where do you go? Don’t stop calling, texting, and e-mailing your clients after they had the nerve to — gasp! — actually buy a house. Check in every so often. See how the kids are adjusting or if there are any questions popping up that you can answer. Call them when the county tax office does a re-evaluation of their property to see if they have any concerns. Be a resource forever. My clients know that unless they beg off or die, they are going to hear from me forever.
Finding out how to best serve your client isn’t just about asking their price range and how many bedrooms and bathrooms they need. If you don’t know why they want to move and what their goals are for buying or selling, then you don’t know what’s really important to them. Ask enough questions to get them to tell you everything, and listen.
Sin No. 2: Cherry-picking If you care about serving clients only in higher price points, you’re turning away a ton of potential business at the lower end — and future referrals. Treat all price points well. It’s smart business. And if you’re so busy you can’t see straight, then set up referral partners in your own amazing real estate community, and make sure that every potential client is cared for.
Sin No. 4: Too Much Ego Clients are coming to us armed with more knowledge and education than ever before, but they still crave professional guidance and advice in understanding the data sets surrounding local real estate. How does your trumpeted-up marketing hailing yourself as the king or queen of real estate provide that for them? Instead of talking about ourselves, let’s focus on the consumer. Figure out what you can offer that helps them reach their goals — not yours — and start setting yourself apart. Need a starting point? Read Simon Sinek’s book, Start With Why. Sin No. 5: Reluctance to Call I don’t know why it’s said that the two things people fear most are public speaking and death. I’m inclined to think picking up the phone has
an even higher fear factor, since people use them almost exclusively to swipe and poke instead of talk. How about actually dialing a number or answering the phone when it rings? Vocal inflection makes a huge difference in the outcome of a conversation and can’t be replaced by text and e-mail. Sin No. 6: Fluff and Puff We’ve taught the consumer not to trust us by using deceptive marketing. We keep going back to the same tired phrases that don’t realistically describe properties, and we use photos that are so doctored, they might as well be animations. If we want the general public to believe us, we need to use smart marketing words that are vivid but also accurate. Photos should be as flattering as possible, but they should also accurately depict a property. We need to do this for reasons beyond following the Code of Ethics or doing good business. It’s just the right thing to do. Sin No. 7: Inverted Priorities Getting a call or a text? Drop everything and answer it. Supposed to have a date night? Reschedule it. Kids playing a ball game? Catch the next one. Church? Get there next week.
Is this what you’ll do for a deal? Too many real estate professionals who are amazing at their jobs and would walk across hot coals for their clients get life completely backwards. They’ll put everything — the most important things, such as family, worship, or themselves — on hold to catch a deal. But you know what happens when real estate becomes your 24/7 be-all and end-all? Burnout. Make yourself and your family your most important clients. Block time on your calendar for you and for them. Create a life environment that is healthy because when you are healthy, your client relationships will blossom and grow into more than you ever imagined.

GENERAL COUNSEL
401(K) PLAN NOT MENTIONED IN FATHER’S WILL – NOW WHAT? Q: THE BIGGEST PART OF MY FATHER’S ESTATE WAS HIS SIZABLE 401(K) PLAN. HE NAMED MY STEPMOTHER AS THE BENEFICIARY OF THE 401(K) PLAN, BUT IN HIS WILL, HE LEFT EVERYTHING TO ME AND MY BROTHER. THE WILL DOESN’T SPECIFICALLY REFERENCE THE 401(K) PLAN SO WHO GETS IT? DOES THE WILL OVERRIDE THE DESIGNATION IN HIS 401(K) PLAN? A: In all likelihood, your stepmother gets your father’s retirement account.
Stephen J. Oats
Even though your father stated in his will that you and your brother were to receive all of his estate, that provision had no effect on his 401(k). Retirement accounts, payable on death accounts, trust accounts and other annuities are all examples of properties that usually pass outside the terms of a person’s will. Normally, the owner of these types of accounts or properties designates with the managing company, who they want they beneficiary to be upon their death. Your father’s will left you and your brother only those properties and items that didn’t already have specific beneficiary designations.
WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF A TITLE OPINION? Q: A FEW YEARS AGO, MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED SOME ACREAGE NEXT TO INTERSTATE 10. OUR ATTORNEY PERFORMED A TITLE OPINION PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE. AFTER OWNING THE PROPERTY FOR A YEAR, WE HAVE UNCOVERED NUMEROUS TITLE PROBLEMS. WE STILL HAVE THE PROPERTY - WITH UNCLEAR TITLE. WHAT EXACTLY IS A TITLE OPINION, AND WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF GETTING A TITLE OPINION IF IT DOESN’T ACTUALLY GUARANTEE CLEAR TITLE TO PROPERTY?

The information contained in this article is intended to be general in nature. Before any action is taken based upon this information, it is essential that competent, individual, professional service be obtained. Send Questions for this column to General Counsel, 100 E. Vermilion St., Suite 400, Lafayette, LA 70501 or e-mail your questions to generalcounsel@oatsmarino.com. Sorry, no personal replies.

A: A title opinion is a written statement from an attorney, wherein the attorney states his opinion as to the merchantability of the title to the land in question. The opinion should contain a brief description of the property (usually a legal description), and it should give the full names of the owners. If the attorney has discovered any exceptions, they should also be listed within his opinion. There are some exceptions that are always listed – and those exceptions are acceptable because they don’t really interfere with the merchantability of the title. For example, things such as recorded building restrictions, servitudes, right-of-ways, and building set-backs should be disclosed on a title opinion, but they don’t necessarily mean there are title problems.
29
Most title opinions also include a statement that the attorney’s opinion is based only upon what he found in the public records of the parish where the property is located. Most attorneys usually clearly state that they are not responsible for improperly recorded or unrecorded liens, surveys, zoning restrictions, and inheritance rights of illegit¬imate children. Thus, if the problems you have uncovered were not things the attorney should have discovered when checking the mortgage records of the parish in which the property is located, the attorney might not be at fault. However, if the problems were recorded, and should have been discovered by the attorney, your problems are probably more serious. This is because, in Louisiana, when you buy property, you become liable for any charges or debts recorded not only against the property, but also against the person from whom you are buying the property (but up to the value of the property). A title opinion is essentially a low-cost insurance policy that lasts as long as the attorney is legally obligated to fix any problem he overlooked. Of course, this obligation is limited to the same period of time that an attorney can be sued for malpractice – in Louisiana, there is a three (3) year limitation on malpractice claims. The amount of protection available to you, at this point, depends on a couple of things. If you took out a mortgage to buy the property, the lender probably required you to purchase lender’s title insurance. However, lender’s title insurance only protects the lender’s money in the event of a title problem – even though the borrower has to pay the premium. Most lenders require a borrower to purchase lender’s title insurance because in all likelihood, your mortgage will eventually be sold to another investor, in another state. That investor will probably want to be able to recover against a national insurance company rather than a local attorney. If you purchased owner’s title insurance, then you have some additional coverage. Since mortgages are almost always less that the purchase price, owner’s title insurance provides coverage up to the purchase price of the house – above and beyond the amount of the mortgage. If purchased at the time of closing, owner’s title insurance is usually pretty inexpensive. If the title opinion given by your attorney says that there are no mortgages or liens on the property, and it turns out that there are, he is personally responsible for either fixing the problem at his own expense or maybe even paying the mortgage or judgment. However, you will have to file a claim with his malpractice carrier, and maybe even eventually file a lawsuit to have the matter resolved.
