Doing the Opposite

By
Real Estate Agent with AllMountainRealty.com

When we formed all Mountain Realty in Sept of 07 we set out goals. I laugh about the one I tell folks , We want to get in at the bottom. (Achieved). Some tell me at least you didn't have to go through the pain of scaling back.

One of the goals was to go after buyers. That has been a strategy. Contrary to the mantra you need sellers, and you do, we focused on buyers instead. Why , we figured that is who has the money. Kind of Willie Suttonish.

Now in ths big buyers market we are shifting our focus to sellers. We are not dropping our buyer campaigns but are now adding seller campaigns and tools. Why? Because we are doing the opposite. The herd is usually wrong and we feel this market turning. If you are ahead of the curve  yes you will on your own for a bit but when the market hits you will be in the right place. So look long term in your market . Some times you have to go opposite. Guess what the market will catch up to you and your long term will turn in to cutting edge. Good selling!!

Charlie, I aint picky, bring them all! I could have more listings, but, only if sellers are realistic. How did your listing appointment go?

Charlie, When its a sellers market you need listings. When its a buyers market you need buyers. I seem to always go in the opposite direction. Rich

Hi Charlie:

For me, I'm always focused on listings...

Because, when you have listings, you'll get buyers.
