SHOW NOTES

How are you creating certainty with your clients?

The October 4th episode of This Week in Housing covers the latest data on the economy, inventory in the housing market, and the 3 reasons homeowners are NOT putting their house on the market.

I was joined by David Childers from Keeping Current Matters, as well as fellow Rockstars Glennda Baker, a leader who runs an incredible all women real estate team in Atlanta, Tim Smith who runs one of the top-performing  teams in Orange County, and Treasure Davis, who runs a powerhouse team in Colorado Springs focused on military clientele. 

This week has created a lot of uncertainty, and we knew it was vital to create more certainty by giving you the facts and data so you can clearly communicate it to your clients. These are the times when the data points are moving the conversation. 

We covered the latest stats on the lack of inventory, the changes in consumer spending this year, and how to communicate this data through your marketing.

Each guest specializes in different markets and they were gracious in sharing how they safely work with their clients, innovative marketing strategies, and how to deliver clarity and become the expert real estate agent for 2021. 

If you’ve been waiting for certainty, then you’ll be paying a price for waiting and not taking action. Focus on knowledge, on providing credibility and certainty to clearly communicate with your buyers and sellers. 

Listen now to know how to effectively talk with your clients so they can make the best decisions for their future.
