BLACK FRIDAY CAN, INDEED, BE RELATED TO ESTATE. However, the differences may exceed the similarities.
Inspired by an article by Lola Audu about Black Friday. Is there "pent up demand" for real estate? Probably. That said, buying real estate is quite different from retail purchases.
Buying a sweater is a quick SIMPLE point of sale purchase transaction.
Buying a HOME is a process that is not a quick or simple transaction. It's a complicated PROCESS.
Black Friday was all about "Point of Sale" transactions.
We want,
We shop,
We find,
We exchange money for goods.
That's a "Point of Sale" transaction. Buying real estate is quite different.
So, Lenn, what's the point? Point is, there are significant differences between "point of sale" retail purchases and real estate transactions.
We want,
We shop,
We find,
We agree to buy,
We negotiate,
We agree on price and terms,
We process financing,
We finalize purchase agreement,
We exchange money for deed.
Sometimes the property purchased doesn't transfer until the land is "improved", which may delay the final transfer or exchange of money for the deed.
Buying real estate is a unique process in the U.S. and the process is, hopefully, not subject to an "impulse purchase" on which many retailers relied on Black Friday.
Merchants rely on Black Friday sales to bring their balance sheet into the "BLACK" or profit for the year. Why not?? Most consumers have considerable EXPERIENCE with point of sale transactions.
MOST HOME BUYERS HAVE LITTLE TO NO EXPERIENCE WITH REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS, and if they are wise, seek the advice and help (representation) of an experienced real estate agent or real estate broker.
Just what is the "experience" of the home buyer in the market today,
May have purchased one or more homes,
Likely to begin their research on the Internet,
Will see Internet advertisers based on the site SEO, not the experience of the agent advertising,
May tour a high ranking web site and contact the agent advertising,
If the site holds their interest (well constructed), the consumer may contact the agent/advertiser, THEN - -
If the site owner, the agent, manages their web site traffic well (ANSWERS THEIR PHONE AND/OR E-MAIL), that agent may "connect" with the home buyer and acquire a buyer customer or client.
Finding a home to buy that satisfies the buyer's wishes is a lot harder than finding a sweater to buy.
WHICH IS, OF COURSE, WHY THERE ARE REAL ESTATE COMPANIES that offer help to home buyers. Working with an EXPERIENCED real estate agent will help a home buyer Locate homes for sale that meet their criteria (or as close to it as price, location, condition will permit).
Buyer's Agents also:
Assist with the financing, inspections, title/closing process based on the agent's experience with:
*Numerous closed transactions
*Continuing education to enhance the agent's knowledge base
*Availability to guide a home buyer through the very complicated process of buying a home.
Buying a sweater is fun for a limited time. Go buy a sweater and heve some fun.
Buying a home may be a life changing experience. Seek experienced help with this complicated transaction.
