How To Buy or Sell Your Home With Strategic Connections

By Erin Catron

I am a multifaceted entrepreneur and real estate leader dedicated to making a meaningful impact.

Is your real estate agent well-connected with different stakeholders in the industry? One of our duties as real estate agents is to be a connector to our clients. When I say connector, we want to connect you to all the right people when buying or selling a home.

Connections are important to us because we are in the business of making home sales, having sold over 500 homes in 2024. It’s impossible to close as many deals as we did without our great network, which you might need as a buyer or seller. I’ll mention some of the essential connections you need to have in real estate.

1. Title companies. When buying a home, you want to ensure that the property has no liens or encumbrances clouding the title. When you finally own that home, it should be free and clear, and no one will come back claiming you owe them money.

We can connect you with title companies and help you through the process with our outstanding transaction coordinators to have your title work done correctly. If you want to, you can receive title insurance.

2. Local mortgage partners. You need a reliable mortgage partner when buying a home. I prefer working with a local mortgage company since it’s better to see them in person if you need to ask them questions, have your documents printed out, or go through the process with them.

Having someone available during evenings and weekends is also essential. If you’re out looking for a home and you don’t have a pre-approval yet but want to make an offer, you need someone who will be available to help you whenever you need it.

3. Repair and inspection companies. There are many other aspects to consider when buying or selling a home. For sellers preparing their homes, we can provide referrals for repair professionals who have delivered great service to our clients. If you’re having your home inspected—whether you’re on the buying or selling side—you want to ensure that you have a top-notch inspection company. We have referrals for that as well based on our client’s positive experiences.

Finally, we help you secure competitive insurance rates through our trusted partners. If you’re having your home inspected—whether you’re on the buying or selling side—you want to ensure that you have a top-notch inspection company.

A great network is another reason to have an experienced and trusted Realtor® in your corner. We are here to guide and connect you. Call us anytime at (918) 984-0994 or (918) 396-8247. You can also send an email to erin@tulsasharkbroker.com.
