Please forgive me for being a little bit "excited" on this blog, but I just got done with a very successful buyer’s seminar.
There is nothing like the satisfaction of educating people and watching that "light bulb" come on. I’m certainly in the business to make money and feed my family, but there is always a part of me that enjoys those warm and fuzzy moments. Today was such a day for me.
The key word I use is opportunity. Even with all the negative news and dour forecasts, people know and sense what a great opportunity they have in real estate right now. It’s so simple. The banks are liquidating homes. It’s either your opportunity, or someone else’s. If you are knowledgeable about your financing options, can afford to make mortgage payments and feel like you are getting a good deal on a home, why not take advantage of this market?
People asked lots of questions at the seminar. Guess what? I love that! It means they are engaged in the process and are willing to hear my opinion on real estate. Great! This is where all the research and experience pays off.
If you sense this market contains your "opportunity", please feel free to ask questions. It makes Realtors like myself feel good about being the source of information for you.
