Real Estate Agent Tips To Clobber Competitors In 2010
Visibly the Real Estate market isn’t even remotely similar as it was a few years ago. At that time, Investors and homeowners were in the market for investment property like nobody’s business. During that time, the sellers was a level playing field for brand new Real Estate agents including part time agents. Almost a fanatical frenzy, I still remember when as quick as a For Sale sign went up, it was quickly taken right down again. In the same day.
Stop and think of the industries this affected. It wasn’t just the Real Estate agents and brokers but mortgage financing companies as they supplied loans to the purchasers, home improvement professionals who made upgrades on the homes before they were put on the market, any company focusing on mortgage leads generation, home appliance stores, the classifieds department for local newspapers, lawn and garden companies and no doubt a multitude of others that I’ve failed to list.
In today’s marketplace, the new consumer is sharp, shops around for the better offer, won’t make quick decisions, and isn’t actually just wanting the the best price. The new prospect is now the mogul of the marketplace be it retail shopping, finding a service provider and all the way to the Real Estate agent. The consumer of 2010 wants to know what providers are able to do to get their business, they want to know how long the provider thinks it might take, how you’re going to provide this service, and why they should trust you. 2010 will be the year of “how high can you jump” and “What have you really done for me lately” Consumers have the upper hand.
And, just because there are still families wanting to buy a home, these consumers aren’t prepared to take the first deal offered to them by a real estate broker or agent, they may, however take the “most trusted” deal explained to them. They are actively and aggressively searching the web, even as you read this, to find the person they feel comfortable with to help them.
And it doesn’t stop there, if the Real Estate Pro who eventually lands this potential consumer doesn’t make good on everything promised, this consumer will let as many people read about it through online consumer review and complaint sites such as Yelp and other community web boards.
Afraid? Shouldn’t be. It will be a ruthless, but rewarding road for the sales agent in 2010 and the individuals who are frank, aggressively try and sell their own listings, and attack as many ways as possible so they can keep their pipeline full, and acquire new home buyers by using quality mortgage leads, online resources, and real estate agent tips, will be the ones who stand out above the rest and hopefully set new standards for the industry. Be “that” person.
