  1. One consistent contact who remembers their brief.
  2. Responsive, respectful communication in a usable language.
  3. Consistent square-foot and square-meter comparisons.
  4. Plans, finish schedules and a clear distinction between renderings and reality.
  5. Transparent roles for brokers, lawyers and other licensed professionals.
  6. Upfront discussion of taxes, insurance, HOA and building liabilities.
  7. A concise written summary after each important call.
