That “kind” of Agent

Meeting people, during the last days of 2022, and – of course – the real estate conversation pops up.
Asking them, “do you have a real estate agent?” – the answer came to be, “well, kind of…”
Digging deeper, I discover frustration, abandonment, lack of communication and very little investment in the relationship. A “kind of” Real Estate Agent is one who is not a proactive advisor. It is someone who most-likely doesn’t understand that this might be a fabulous opportunity to buy. Someone who is listening to media noise rather than helping their people.
So, how can we help the Client?
First of all, there are strategies to succeed in today’s market. Making offers that work for their budget on houses that haven’t sold for 30 days below list price to compensate for the interest rates. Maybe try and check out hybrid mortgages.
Sifting through the noise and help our buyers succeed in this unique moment. For the last two years we were losing properties for our buyers to multiple offers. Now, let me write an offer for my buyers. Something that works for them even if it is lower than what logic and common sense may feel “might work”. Let the seller decide whether they want to accept it or not.
You will be surprised.

Negotiating, like swimming, cannot be learned by reading about it
