About MARIA HETHCOAT
Interview with Mari Hethcoat
1. Why did you get into real estate? I came through the back door so to speak since I was exploring the home loan part of it to expand my business funding venture at that time. I was informed by the Mortgage Broker I met with then, that I needed to get a real estate license, so I did. I realized that while performing as both a Mortgage Loan Officer and a Realtor® , I found the real estate practice both intriguing and challenging and I got hooked. 2. What excites you about the business? Aside from my clients, the deal itself. The negotiating part and the problem solving I just love it. These are what’s keeping this business exciting for me. Others think real estate is about finding the house –boom, the deal’s done. But that’s only part of it, in fact it is only the beginning of the transaction! Unexpected things can happen in every turn. Why? Because there are many factors and parties that could be involved in one deal – from the sellers, buyers, inspectors, contractors, title companies, banks, building and planning divisions, counties, associations and regulations, not to mention dealing with all types of personalities behind these and the emotional roller coaster that both Buyers and Sellers are going through – and I’m there right smack in the middle of it, trying to hold things together. 3. What do you consider outstanding customer service? When the client says it is so. It’s not what I think but what ultimately the client thinks.
4. What was your best/most memorable deal? They’re all memorable.
