So I spent most of the day driving in the rain, previewing properties for clients that are flying in from NH. (I sure hope they too believe in the "Live free or die" slogan) I have received so much feedback just for being the lucky person with the 1,000,000th blog and I have had to explain to many what a blog actually is. I am not sure I did a great job explaining this because I am so new to it myself that I am not sure why the idea of a blog was actually formed. My guess is that it is the easiest way for us to share information and ideas.
I did observe something today that I would like to share. While previewing homes in new communities I took notice of the way the on-site agents represented their builders. Only one agent actually stood out as being enthusiastic about being at her job. She mentioned that her community was receiving a good amount of traffic and that about 75% of the buyers were coming to the community with realtors. The other on-site agents seemed burnt out. They obviously weren't seeing the traffic that they had hoped to see this spring, and I hope their attitudes change before they come face to face with my clients.
This all comes back to ActiveRain and how it can keep our attitudes positive. There are thousands of stories here about meeting new prospective buyers and sellers. The information that is spread through blogs should really help to keep us motivated and on top of our game.
I know that every real estate market is different, and in Charlotte the market is totally different neighborhood to neighborhood. There are more sellers than ever...but many are scared to spend too much money and time on overpriced listings. Being a young realtor I have had most of my success with buyers. There couldn't be a better time for first time home buyers.
Water boils at 212 degrees F. and most of the on-site agents were luke warm. This is no doubt a tough real estate market but it will take the extra effort to get the results that they are hoping for.
Help me become a better blogger. I am appreciative of any feedback or tips that you have for me.
