Principles For Doing Business

"You win in life by helping others." I share this conviction with you because it defines how I feel about helping people find the home of their dreams. It also explains why the following principles have been incorporated into the way I do business:

I will always remember that to have a winning relationship for my clients, we must always have a mutual goal--their complete satisfaction.

I will provide the best service possible for every client I represent. Subject to the North Carolina Real Estate Law, I will always promote the best interests of my clients, disclosing all facts that might affect or influence their decisions.

I will never enter into a client relationship in which I know what is expected of me cannot be done in good faith.

I will always be honest in making recommendations: I will not tell clients what they want to hear if it is not realistic. Consequently, I will never enter into an agreement with a client whom I know remains unrealistic in regards to home purchasing and value. I acknowledge that I may periodically lose business because I am truthful with my clients, while my competitors may tell those clients what they want to hear to attract their business.

I will always treat all parties honestly and fairly and will list/show properties without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin, handicap, or family status.

I am committed to furthering my professional education so that I can
better service my clients and will set aside time from my other commitments to do so.

I will never lose sight of the fact that my honesty, loyalty, understanding, accountability, and creativity are what distinguish my services. People often ask me how I'm able to sell so many homes and assist so many buyers and sellers. The answer is simple: Teamwork. The strength of the Tingen Team is based on specialization. When you work with me, whether you're a buyer or a seller, you get a lot more than just Pistol Tingen. You benefit from the service of my entire professional staff--each proficient in their special area of expertise. Their added attention to detail in the various facets of the transaction allows my focus to remain on you--my client, and your satisfaction.
