Day 1 of 90; Becoming the best journey

Day 1 of 90; Becoming the best journey are words that I wrote 8 years ago when I started this real estate journey back in Dallas Texas. For the first 90 days of my real estate career I followed a regime that included sharing what are considered best practices in real estate for successful Realtors®. I do this now again to pursue the next level of service to myself, my community and the people who live here. In this way the focus is on our shared and collective community and not on leads, listings and leverage as the end goal. The goals of closing deals and earning commission are just part of the process that you employ every day.

My schedule through the years has been fluid and this has kept me from being free from needs. The truly successful Realtor® has a schedule that is locked and loaded to free themselves from worry. They feed their mind in the morning, they challenge their body physically and mentally before they begin to serve the community. My schedule is Meditate, Read, then Write before I exercise. All this work connects me to my inner self which I know through meditation and study that this connection is the deepest connection to all energy and all opportunity.

When I get to the part of the day when I begin to make calls to prospects I am calm in the knowledge that should they need help, I am here for them. The calls and conversations are never forced or false. They are true efforts to connect to their needs and understand. Once the connection is made, or blocked the next actions come from that. It is not negatively or positively charged as emotion, it is a furtherance of our energies becoming focused on a common goal. So today in Day 1 of 90; Becoming the best journey I am off…

Boston Area Luxury Homes Market Report Thanksgiving Week

Boston Area Luxury Homes Market Report Thanksgiving Week comes to you from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing for which I am a Million Dollar Guild member which is 1% of all the Realtors in the country. Interest rates are sneaking up since we now have a new President Elect. This happens with each election. Before the election investors pull their money from the more volatile stock market and put it into treasury bonds. Now that this is over the interest rates will move forward. The better the economy, the higher the interest rates. Prices across the 10 towns in the Boston Area are moving up.

When there is more inventory, the prices slide a bit. We see this in towns like Weston which is flooded right now with luxury listings. Pricing can be tricky and it is essential that you price your property in relation to the competition on the market at the time you are on the market. Forgetting to consider your competition is a typical average agent mistake. A house is a commodity to the Buyer while it is a home for the Seller. These disparate valuations can cause issues with the sale.

The longer your house is on the market the lower the perceived value is to the Buyer. The key is to price correctly right out of the box and get under agreement in the first 30 days. From there it can be a down hill slide. Strategic pricing and aggressive marketing make all the difference. Make sure you choose an agent who knows who your buyer will be and how to communicate with them through the internet. The days of your local broker being the “go to” person is forever changed. Your “go to” person is one who understands the market and the marketing.

The number of homes on the market can impact your sale both positively and negatively. Your agent should be speaking with you weekly about what is happening in the market. With luxury homes you can not leave things to chance. While there is a smaller pool of people who can purchase luxury properties these people are sophisticated buyers and so you need a sophisticated and strategic approach to the sale.
