Welcome back to all who were gone for the Holiday.
I spend part of my weekend going to open houses around town. I went to 13 open houses around my area (Kenmore, WA and surrounding area) to get an idea on the "flow" of sales in our area.
I was surprised to hear from almost all the Realtors that I had spoken with that sales are not getting much better. What is your opinion on that?
On the mortgage end, I have found that loans are starting to pick up again and things seem to be moving in the right direction. 75% cash out re-fi state stated on investment are back (although not nearly as easy to get them through as before) and higher LTV loans for new buyers.
Over the summer, myself along with some of our LO's attended marketing and lead generation seminars around town and although the buyer (or re-fi client) are still around, the way we go about getting them has changed a bit according to the "gurus". Thoughts?
I figure it can't hurt to try everything and see what works. This leads me to my next question; What does/has worked for you? Anything new and different that you have tried lately?
In speaking with many Realtors this weekend, I have found that many are doing the same thing as before with little or the same results. Many have changed the way they do things with better results.
Overall, what is your feeling on the way we do business and what is needed to continue to be a success?
