Why Barney Fife Could Not Close The Real Estate Deal -By Arielle John

Legendary television character Barney Fife had a tendency to misplace the law enforcement tools he needed to apprehend criminals. If he didn't forget to place the lone, department-issued bullet into his service revolver, Deputy Fife forgot handcuffs, misplaced keys to jail cells, and one time, the deputy from small town North Carolina could not find the town's only patrol car.

How would Barney Fife fare as a real estate agent?

Real estate agents have to possess superior organizational skills to go along with the ability to sell a home's features, without going overboard in the sales department. They must understand the specifications of numerous homes that their company has on the market and manage a very tight work schedule. If Barney Fife was unable to keep tabs on a patrol car, chances are he would fumble the real estate football within a few minutes of showing a prospective homebuyer the mailbox.

Chances are he should have used software for real estate brokers and agents.

Even if deputy Fife made it to the closing phase of the home buying process, he would most likely encounter the following problem:

Fife: "Well, $225,000 is an excellent place to start."

Homebuyer: "It's my only offer."

Fife: "The house is almost worth twice that."

Homebuyer: "Take it or leave it."

Fife: "Aren't we supposed to haggle over price?"

Homebuyer: "Do you want a commission?"

Fife: "Sold to the lady in red."

Homebuyer: "Let's finish the paperwork and close this deal. I'm late for a session with my therapist."

Fife: "I'll grab the paperwork out of my car."

When real estate agent Fife reaches his car, he realizes that he left all of the required paperwork to consummate the home sale back at the office, or maybe at home, or maybe even at the gym next to sauna after a large, hairy man frightened him away from the foggy chamber. By forgetting the paperwork he needed to close the sale, real estate agent Fife put the home transaction in serious jeopardy.

Why go through the home selling process and not have the paperwork required to close the deal. When you have to return to the office to retrieve closing forms, it provides the prospective buyer with time to reconsider not only the financial aspects of the deal, but the deal itself. Real estate software for brokers and agents seamlessly allows you to transition from negotiating the deal to closing the deal. Upload all of the documents you need signed and utilize our e-signature platform to obtain the client's signature.

Even bumbling Barney Fife knows how to hit the print key.
