Every now and then human nature takes its course and we find ourselves uninspired, down in the dumps, kicking dirt, stuck wondering what the hell is next …. In business, in life, with the economy, the housing market, etc etc? Well, I found myself there last week (albeit a brief visit to the down-in-the-dumps zone) and now I am back, more inspired than ever. Today, my surge of inspiration came as our team at TRE puts the finishing touches on some unbelievable buyer tools and services that we will be rolling out in short order.
Nationally the real estate markets are getting crushed, DUH!, we know this already (and can we please stop repeating it?!). And who is at the helm of this “crush?” Home buyers. So, why-oh-why would this possibly inspire me? Read on …
[Reminder: Home BUYERS dictate housing markets. Ok, now read on …]
Buyers are the most important indicators and dictators of real estate market values and trends. (If you didn’t know this about yourself then you should). So important that I would argue you (buyers) are everything to real estate markets and trends. Think about it this way, even when the market is cranking (and by is I am referring to when it was- flashback 2003-2007), it is only doing so because your (buyer) lifestyle allows it: you have a job that is paying (not laying off), you have banks giving you money (not taking money), and you have cash to invest (not cash lost); All things allowing you to act on that very natural human instinct to put a roof over your head that you own ( and not just any roof, the best roof, regardless of price). In a down market (and by “in” I mean the one we are in), you also determine the trends which allow for readjusting of home prices (lower) and neighborhood trends (back to the basics). How? Because this time you want the best house for the lowest price, this time your job may be in jeopardy so you are taking your time searching and you refuse to over pay (actually you aren’t able to over pay because the banks simply won’t allow it).
So, I am inspired by this very notion: Home Buyers, you are the Real Estate market. Not until now - not until companies like ours have started their quest to protect your interests - have you been able to really define this incredible place in the market and maintain it. I am inspired to deliver you the tools you need to keep doing what you do and do it even better than before. Today home buyers have an exclusive real estate agency dedicated to empowering them to buy like they want to buy, interests 100% protected.
Truth is, if you are dictating the residential real estate market doesn’t it make perfect sense to have your own real estate agency?
