I recently completed a RYC qualification and an ICC qualification to allow me and my family the opportunity to charter yachts around the world and have a different kind of experience. To date we have chartered yachts in Thailand and Croatia.

I write about this because it highlights a few significant factors about proven performance that may be important to you. These factors apply in a yachting context but can easily relate to selling your property. Sailing and Real Estate are the same in that you make the best of external factors:

• In sailing we consider the wind, the direction and the strength. In Real Estate we consider the buyers in the market, the ability to get money and the strength of buyer engagement.
• In sailing we plan the route, time over distance and destination. Real Estate has a process, a course, and a time to achieve a result. 
• In sailing we understand the principles of our vessel and it's capability. Real Estate has clear principles but a variable tide and changes that we must acknowledge and act upon.
• In sailing the conditions may force us to change our destination. The same in Real Estate, where you may want to sell, but the price you may achieve may force us to consider renting for 12 months until a better price can be achieved. 

Proven performance therefore is not about the act of sailing or selling a home it is about understanding all the elements that co-exist, making the best decision at the best time and showing strength and patience in the eye of the storm or in the lull of the buyers decision making. 

Having an agent that can make the decisions around selling or renting your property is unique and invaluable.

I like to think that I apply all my skills and experience to my role selling homes as I do on the water keeping my family safe and ensuring the journey is smooth. 

For me, the journey you experience in selling your home should be well planned and executed well, ensuring a great outcome.
