Here’s an intriguing task. A family sits before you—Mom, Dad, two girls and a teenage son—and they say their male teenage cousin is coming to live with them. Their space needs are changing. They want to take this opportunity to find and buy the house that truly works best for them.

The Dad starts to list off the features he thinks they need, but what they need involves a bit more magic than finding four bedrooms and a big living room. In truth, they feel both excited and lost. They have no idea how to effectively translate what they need from a house to support and empower how they live…other than, perhaps, just to look at a lot of houses with the faith that, “We’ll know when we see it.”

This is one of the most crucial and rewarding jobs a real estate professional faces again and again. It requires an extremely good awareness of what is available for sale, an ability to listen closely and hear between the lines of what the members of the family have to say, a nearly intuitive sense of the house that will truly work for this unique family, and the ability to make the transaction happen. One of the real estate professional’s greatest rewards in this process is the look on the faces of all the family members when he or she shows the truly “right” house.

The point of these few paragraphs is that this simply cannot be done by a computer. It is one of the invaluable services a great real estate professional provides, worth its weight in gold.
