We Know Our 💩. But Do They?!!

We Know Our 💩. But Do They?!!

 

Little by little, I notice our industry has become eroded through bureaucratic overreach. The majority of people making decisions that adversely affect our industry, have zero experience but their know-it-all egos override all logic, claiming, "Real estate is so easy, anyone can do it." Well, then, I ask, why aren't they?

 

There's nothing better than getting to know buyers and sellers through a sincere connection, having boots on the ground, researching a property or feeling the dirt between the toes before excavation begins on a new home for a special client. None of those people will have the luxury or satisfaction of doing exactly that!

 

The joy of discerning whether a property will serve clients well or one that requires running away at a high rate of speed to avoid an absolute, cash-trash-tophy is top priority. Large organizations, politicians or pile-on crowds have no idea what it takes to get to the closing table with trusted clients and smiles all around.

 

While others virture signal, pander to those who can financially benefit them through simply existing, count me out.

 

I know my 💩 but do they?!!

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! unfortunately the statement you made below is true in many industries.  The know it all's who don't know anything end up making the decisions that impact those that do know what they are talking about.

Wanda, your passionate post really hits home! The frustration of experienced professionals being undermined by those with no practical understanding is palpable across many industries, real estate included. Your emphasis on the genuine connection with clients and the invaluable "boots on the ground" experience highlights the true value that seasoned agents bring to the table. It's a powerful reminder that knowing the "stuff" truly matters!

Hello Wanda, the longer I am in this business, I wonder what they teach in Real Estate school.  I just had to call a agent to ask about a home built in 2018 and he has under construction.  It was a mistake.

Chasing the money will run them all out of the industry, eventually, Carol Williams. This is a 'people first' business!

That's right, Nina Hollander, Broker! We have value, epsecially having survived a few market downturns but thrived due to adapting and adjusting to conditions.

Hi Wanda- that is the key for all of the wonderful agents that are out there...to communicate your worth to the general public. I put my money on boots on the ground agents.

What some of those KIA's fail to recognize is that what affects us, filters down to them as well, Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist. THANK YOU for the feature in CRAP-TACULAR, it might take a few flushes and a plunger to force that 💩 down the drain!

Good evening Wanda,

Isn't it amazing the bureaucratic overreach in our industry as well as others. Boots on the ground demonstrating our worth is why we keep making headway.

Please thank Mr. Crappy as well, Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist, not too many would stay in that position for long because of the stench! 🤣

We have a right to defend our industry but people are afraid to speak up for so many reasons, Hannah Williams. I will and have, pretty sure it might happen again!

Reminds me of a phrase, George Souto. The insane are running the asylum - no good comes from that!

Being effective in our industry depends on that Dennis Neal. Consumers count on us to have all the answers but if the goal post continues to be moved, we get further away from the intended goal!

Oh my! Even though you may try to educate, the other side must be willing to listen and make necessary changes, Will Hamm!

We are the ones that continue to be in the market and advertise ourselves to local consumers or those who are looking to relocate, Kathy Streib. There's only so much one can do by typing remotely!

WE can provide local insights to people coming or going by traveling to each property, while others can read or scan overhead on a map to locate those same areas. We demonstrate value every day, Dorie Dillard Austin TX and that will keep us in business!

Hello Wanda - being the best you can be as well as regular improvement is a good path.  Not necessarily ignoring the other $<!+ (it's likely going to exist, anyway) but be sure to outpace it so you don't step in it.

Bureaucratic overreach prevents so many good things from happening as they should, with the unnecessary regulations that they put in place.

Knowledge prevents being mired in the yuck, Michael Jacobs, while being aware of industry changes that may come. Then it's using caution before proceeding!
