Why do you need a licensed real estate agent? Many people see the current market as just setting a price and waiting for the offers to roll in. Because of this, there are more sellers trying to sell their own home or believing that this is…

This is most certainly a seller’s market! It has been caused by several things coming together at the same time. First, COVID stay-at-home orders initially caused many sellers to remove their homes from the market. That shrunk supply. As the pandemic raged on, interest rates stayed low and caused many buyers who had been on the sidelines to decide it was a great time to buy. That increased demand.

Today, more than ever, buying or selling real estate is like trying to win a football game. To win the game, every player involved must do their part. There is the offense to move the ball toward accomplishing the goal of scoring. There is the defense whose job it is to keep the game going toward our goal, not the opponents! Then, often overlooked, there are the special teams. Designed to provide strategic positioning on the field these are specialists whose job is to do one thing extremely well.

I love getting new real estate recruiting ads. I continue to see claims of providing 1 to 1 support and a whole laundry list of support services while paying out something near 100%. When I look to find out how many " employees" these companies have to provide the services they claim to their real estate agents, I find the number to generally be 1 or 2 support personnel. Really?
