Yesterday I had my turn to speak at my business networking group, BNI Noon Networkers. I get a chance to speak every few months and as I was preparing for this turn it came to me that I have been incredibly blessed with phenomenal people in my life. Not just personally, but professionally. They are really the ones who make me good at what I do. So, instead of speaking about my own credentials I decided to talk about the team of people I work with on a regular basis.
There are others, for sure, but these are the ones who I talk to weekly, if not daily. First is Vince Lotito who is the branch manager at Prime Lending. I’ve worked with many lenders in my 24 years but he is the BEST. We have a great working relationship based on trust and teamwork. He has gone the extra mile on many occasions.
Ticor Title is top-shelf in this town for Title and Escrow. They also have a great reputation and aren’t in the business of doing some of the more questionable practices that have surfaced in the past few years. I’ve worked with several escrow agents there but my shout-out goes to Alice Escalante. She’s the one I have on speed dial and she is a great “team-member” whenever I have a question about something…even if it’s not a transacation she’s working in. She is great with clients under stressful situations and is a genious when it comes to working out the numbers and troubleshooting things like short sales.
There are a few good home inspectors in this town and I’ve worked with many of them. Tony Nannini, owner of Armstrong Inspections, is one of my favorite people. Not only is he a master inspector and well-respected in his association, but he is incredibly caring. I’ve seen him exhibit a great deal of patience with people (who don’t always deserve it) and has gone over and above the call of duty on many occassions to explain issues before and after the sale.
Last, but certainly not least, I had to mention my family and friends who encourage me everyday as I work through the ever changing Reno real estate market. So, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am grateful to you all. You know who you are!
