How long does it take to get into a rhythm with a new account person? I'm losing a good one and this new person coming in has me a little nervous.

What is a good account person ?

One who understands the client, but also understands that clients are a pain in the a--.

Look at them as an entirely different person, which they are. Try not to compare them to the “good one”. This new one could be good in their own ways too, you’re just not used to them yet. Give it a couple months.

Same thing is happening to me too, really nervous 🥲

What is making you nervous? Everything is fixable. The secret is giving them the ability to rely on you to make them look good so you can rely on them to make you and your work look good. And that requires building a good relationship. Friendly. Cooperative. On the same page. They need to be emotionally invested in the success of the work and in your success. They could turn out to be a raging a hole. They could also turn out to be the best friend you ever had. But that’s the risk you take working in this business.

If I'm adding multiple people to purchase a property but not on the mortgage, when do they get added - do they need to already be on the purchase agreement?

If someone could please help clarify - how do I add other people on the onset on buying a property? This is a new build, buying directly from the builder.
