WOW! What a Week in Real Estate!

Coaching For Real Estate Agents

This is the reaction to all the news media regarding how prices are going down, down, down! There are hundreds of expired listings in our market.

This past week we did the following:

* We have a property that is listed for $ 200,000; we got an offer for $35,000! Can you imagine that? And because it was an offer we had to take our time and the sellers’ time to tell him about this low ball offer! Gag me with a spoon!

* We have another property that is listed for over 2 million US dollars and we get an offer at $1.4 Million dollars! How embarrassing is that? The seller had more money into the project than the offer was for!

* We have a lot that is listed for $120,000 and got an offer of only $65,000 on it!

* And last but not least, we are negotiating on a property that the seller is selling for less than what he paid for it and the buyers are still not happy!

That seems to be a typical week here in this market these days. But with the law of attraction we are also attracting great deals and counting our blessings every day that we have action and deals that are closing. Many Real Estate agents in our market are quitting or getting supplemental jobs.

I met a Real Estate Agent working at a home depot design center because she needs the health insurance. I think we are going to see a lot of this. But this makes a Real Estate agent part time and then it is not possible to give great service and really take their real estate business to the next level.

So how is the Real Estate Market in your area? What is your typical week look like?

What are you doing to attract the right clients to you?
