Million Dollar Year Day 6 Just like high school

©Jim Long Photo Million Dollar Year Day 6 Just like high school, you can work with an A student, or you can work with a C students, those are your options. The public believes it is easy to buy or sell a house without engaging a professional.  This very important transaction in a life, quite often the largest transaction in your life, these people go it alone. There are people who thinks this is no biggie.  And maybe it isn't, you might not know right away. There may never be anything wrong with the deed, or survey, or permits for repairs, a cloud on the title, you get the idea. And then, there might be something wrong that you didn't think of because you don't do this ever day as a professional.

It was the first day of Spring this week and the weather has been inspired by the calendar. the market is looking a touch on the Buyer's side right now. The Fed this week projected no rate hikes through the remainder of this year.  Inventory is low and the stall is in finding replacement homes for the boomers. This market is still evolving and not all towns are showing insight into this change with zoning variances. Most towns take years realizing that their population is always evolving and therefore the zoning should. More on this when we talk about these new concepts for an aging community.

The process for buying or selling a home is simple and it is complex.  Understanding zoning, legal, plumbing, electrical, building, materials, surveys is an expected base of understanding. As a professional you don't need to know all of this but you most certainly need to know the person who knows all of that area. An agent is a general contractor for the process of buying and selling property. Their skills and techniques are honed daily, it is evident when you speak to the A type student. Work with people who you like and trust. Million Dollar Year Day 6 Just like high school

Larry, you are so right.  Life and real estate are what you make it.  This year is going to be a roller coaster with a shortage of inventory.  Good luck!!

Thanks Gwen Fowler-CRS- 864-638-3599 SC Mountains & Lakes-- I think with interest staying low this whole year there will be an uptick in the inventory.  Best to you and make it a fantastic year.

HelloLarry - yes real estate like life is viewed as rather simple but exceedingly complex. It's a choice and one that is available to us.  How we act upon that choice makes a difference.  Hopefully wise minds will make the right choice for them and their situation.

Hello Larry,  Good point for people to understand about our profession.  Some people do not make it because they do not put in to it what it takes to make it.

Will Hamm Thanks for the comment Will. What I would like to leave this community is a day by day actions and thought process. It will be a primer of success, failure or mediochrity and it will be honest if not occasionally preachy. I don't like preachy. I prefer self deprication.

Good afternoon Larry - I love your analogy to a general contractor but the sums up the knowledgeable real estate agent.  You can do without but you shouldn't.

Grant Schneider Some do go without and it is for varied reasons. A portion is because they don't know what they don't know and the agent has not clearly communicated the benefits in a way that changes the mind.  "What we have here is a failure to communicate" Cool hand Luke once heard said.
