Hi. My name is Teresa Tims and I am president of TDR Mortgage in Upland, California. I’ve been doing mortgages since 1998, and I love my job and I love real estate and I work with people who buy homes all the time. I primarily do mortgages, and I also work with lots of agents that list homes and help people find houses.

A lot of times a buyer will come to me, and just knowing what I know about mortgages and real estate I will partner with a realtor to come to a successful close on a transaction. I’ve done over 1900 transactions in my career, so I have a lot of experience in transactions, so I have a lot to say about the subject.

Why is this important?

Do they work alone or do they have an assistant or a team?

Why to stay away from a big team, it’s a cluster fuck usually and the actual agent has very little involvement and your transaction is usually handled by an unlicensed transaction coordinator or very inexperienced buyers agents.

Ideally I recommend an agent that uses a Transaction Coordinator and works alone or has an assistant or buyers agent partner.

What do they specialize in?  Buying or selling or both?

How many transactions did they do last year?  Buy___________ Sell__________

Do they own a home?

Do they own Rental or Investment Property?

Do they charge an additional fee for the transaction coordinator or legal doc coverage on top of the standard commission?

Do you like them?

Do you Trust them?
