After reading the barrage of articles about all the changes or should I say impending doom in real estate such as real estate 3.0, more transparency, etc. the one thing that is not being said or highlighted is: Real estate agents are salespeople who are licensed! Pretty simple! And yet, how many real estate agents think of themselves as salespeople? I remember taking my 90-hour pre-licensing course and the instructor told all those in attendance that real estate was all about marketing and they as real estate agents were marketers.  With over four decades of sales experience, I knew that was false and decided not to engage in a fruitless discussion. Marketing is about attracting, hopefully positive, attention from the targeted audience. Successful salespeople understand that sales is e... 04/21/2024

Sometimes the most simple question must be asked “Why do people buy?” In this book, buy•ology, the author, Martin Lindstrom, looks to answer this question from a three years of extensive research into neuromarketing and the impact to the subconscious brain.With 11 chapters that range from discussing the study to learning is “sex” sells, the reader gains some greater insight as to why people buy.  For those in real estate agents this research may provide even greater clarity.Several chapters I found particularly fascinating. As in Chapter Four entitled “I Can’t See Clearly Now” Subliminal Messaging, Alive and Well.” I did not know subliminal advertising was banned by the National Association of Broadcaster in June of 1958. This was due to one incident (later claimed to be a lie) where su... 04/21/2024

I am not a big fan of time share units but if that is what you want to talk about, lets get it on.  It was another rough week for would-be-buyers, with 30-yr mortgage rates approaching 7.5% in response to hotter retail sales data and comments from Fed Chair Powell.Despite this, the spring buying & selling season is definitely here, with rising competition levels and faster sales.Looking to take some profits or make a move?Let's talk! #housingmarket #realestatenews #housingmarketupdates #realestatemarket #mortgage #realestate #whatsupwithrealestate 04/21/2024

      Most people are satisfied with their realtors. Surveys suggest that 90% percent of clients would do business with their realtor again---and most would recommend their realtor to a friend. Yet, only 30% of the time do clients actually return. Now, of course, some clients are moving away from the area, but you would still expect people to use the realtor who helped them buy when they subsequently sell. Why don’t realtors see more client referrals and repeat business?    Transactional Nature of Real Estate: Real estate transactions are typically infrequent compared to other industries, such as retail or service-based businesses. Clients may only need the services of a realtor when buying or selling a property, which means there may be long periods between transactions. During these l... 04/20/2024
