Buyer's are now extremely weary to work with a Realtor, let alone have a conversation. Fewer conversations lead to fewer sales. I have to make 10x the calls/texts to have 1 conversation.
I’d like to hear about how to best use AI in real estate. Best practices in passive marketing - YouTube channel and website best content and use
**My revamped website won’t be active until 12/1/24**
The way to get more listings is to do well with the listings you have. I have a great presentation. I have 3 listings. Still not sold since july. I need this income, or I will be poor. I need to sell these listings, so I can get more listings. My problem is getting these listings sold. I have great photos great exposure, i do good c m as and priced it right. I get showings.
Consistently but no sale! 2 of the homes could have looks inproved, perhaps I need to be better when I take the listing and say, Hey, if you really want this to sell you need to.
Make the home looked the best it can, it's tough because they already did a lot in their mind, and i'm pressing them to do more, and its work & money, without the improvements, I price, it lower, still does not sell. Price is typically why it does not sell. My sellers do not want to lower price., therefore, it may not sell and I lose six months of working and not earning anything but spending money. If I can get the houses to sell, I can get more listings. My market has alot of inventory and next year will be a huge new development.Of the new homes which will compete with the old homes. I've been in real estate over fifteen years and i'm 57, I can't bow out now, i need to up my game to survive.
People are concerned about the economy and jobs and the belief we may have a recession. Interest rates also holding people back as there is the a myth that rates will go back to 2% and the price of houses will decrease.
People are waiting. Buyers are non existent or want to view every house on the market before making a decision and twice again.
Renters are not wanting to move and are being very picky about their decision. Issues with tenants and wanting cash for keys to move or simply stop paying are frustrating investors and making investors not purchase.
Capital gains has increased which means people are holding onto properties such as cottages and investment properties
There are "farming areas" where people don't want to move.
This has been one of my toughest years.
I’ve been in real estate full time for 23 years. My business is 98% past clients and referrals. I need some new clients. I need new listings that are saleable. I fear I’m losing my motivation. Your buyer representation class really helped me with buyer presentations. I haven’t taken your listing summit but do look forward to it. Your information is very helpful and your affordable compared to other coaching programs.
Sellers are reluctant to sell. Buyers are reluctant to buy. extremely low inventory here.
The market affects us realtors and the NAR changes have complicated it. My problem is, I was a top producer with mostly buyers that I had gotten from Open Houses from 2013 to 2019. I would get 3-4 buyers on the weekends. Closing 16 to 18 deals a year consistently. In 2022 my number of closings dropped in half and then 2023 I couldn't get a deal together. Mostly buyers not qualifying as they use to. Now with the changes to who pays commissions it has complicated how to work out how to get them qualified. Buyers now having to come up with the Realtor commission plus the down and closing costs has put too much onto buyers. If the seller agrees to concessions it great, but there are deals sellers don't. Has there been any changes with Lenders in putting the Realtor commission into the loan? I haven't noticed it, but it would be great to see if there has been any movement here. Also, Zillow recently has come after me to get me back. I asked how they deal with getting the buyer agreement signed before showing. They have a general template they provide to buyers, but allow agents to do their own too. Wondering if this has helped buyers agents.
In looking forward into 2025 seems like I need to change my focus to become a listing agent. I didn't learn how to create my own marketing plan to get listings. I work in the Tri-Valley of the East Bay SF, I don't work just one neighborhood. Is this my problem? Now meeting buyers at Open houses they are not as motivated to buy like they use to. I do believe now that Trump was elected in we will see a great market again. Lower interest rates, lower taxes in general, which will help people to buy and sell. With Trump's policy's he wants to enact. How do you feel it will affect our market, and people in general wanting to buy and sell?
I have been in real estate most of my life I’ve. I have seen fallouts, high interest rates and uncertainty many times worse than it is right now. Affordability is the reason we are not selling as much. My mentor Tony Robbins says when it is winter in your business you must innovate! Do something no one else is doing, serve at a higher level, give more than you expect to receive.
I would say that my biggest issue is attracting agents to our brokerage. We are looking for a non pushy, no salesey way to attract motivated, productive agents.
The NAR Settlement has put the kibosh on getting buyers and a 'scrambled eggs' brain effect on sellers in my seniors market. It's no wonder over 70% of agents hate this devolvement of our once proud profession.
