Here’s how Olympic sports relate to real estate
Nothing gets us more excited about protecting the American Dream than rooting for Team USA at the Olympics. Today, we’re talking all about how our favorite events in Milan mirror what we do in the real estate and title industries. As always, thank you for trusting us to deliver gold-medal service on your residential or commercial transaction.
Curling. Let’s start with the sport that has a cult-like following every four years: Curling! This game, affectionately known as “shuffleboard on ice,” has a scoring area called “the house.”
While these Olympians make it look easy, curling is all about a team working together, where both communication and precision matter. It’s one part strategy and a lot of parts skill, and if one curler isn’t on the same page as everyone else, even the best plans can go awry. During each stone throw, everyone involved has a specific job that must be done correctly to achieve the winning result, which sounds a lot like the different roles in a real estate transaction if you ask us!
Skiing moguls. Mogul skiing is all about control amid constant change. Athletes face a course filled with bumps, quick turns and unexpected challenges, and they must maintain speed and balance from start to finish.
That kind of adaptability feels familiar in title work. We all know that real estate transactions don’t always follow a perfectly smooth path. Timelines shift. New information surfaces. Unexpected issues arise. Title professionals are experienced at adjusting quickly without losing momentum or focus, and our team is always here to guide you to the finish line.
Luge: One of the fast-paced Olympic sports certainly belongs on this list. That’s why we picked luge, which can be done both in pairs or as an individual sport.
Consider your closing the fast trip down the track. It’s full of twists and turns – and through each one, we’re all gaining momentum. You don’t want just anyone leading the way. You need someone with clear eyes and a full heart. Someone who’s confident enough to treat a closing like an everyday occurrence, but nimble enough to make the small adjustments to keep everything on track, even if your closing is headed a bit offline.
Know that our closers and settlement officers have the knowledge it takes to get you safely – and quickly to the finish line. Just like a good coach or training partner, our teams are always here to help and guide you home. Reach out to one of our branches anytime.
