When it comes to a major purchase, involving the commitment of a large sum of money, trust is a big factor—trust in both the product one is buying and in the seller. There is generally no more major purchase in a person’s life than a home, often involving a substantial mortgage extending over several years. Trust is something that is not bought, it is earned. It comes from establishing a solid reputation built over a period of time and through supplying a consistent, solid and reliable service.
