Service and Real Estate Representation - “Heirloom Real Estate” By Carl Shurr.
Why do we hire people to do things?
- Someone else could do it better.
- You want a particular result done correctly the first time.
- It would help if you had an expert on your side.
- When you're juggling multiple tasks, it's often more efficient to delegate.
- You have other vital activities which you need to focus on.
- You prefer a wealth determiner to make sure your goals are reached.
There are many reasons we hire people to do things. We hire experts to help us go faster or reduce the ambiguity of reaching a goal. We hire CPAs, attorneys, wealth managers, house managers, lawn managers, and other services to make our lives easier or help us stay on track with our goals and/or the experiences we wish to have.
When we think of real estate service, I believe in a full life cycle experience that includes real estate planning, selling, buying and support, real estate wealth development and management, and assistance with real estate wealth transfer or “legacy real estate.”
Real Estate is about your lifestyle, and serving someone else’s vision for their life in real estate takes a deep commitment. This is especially true when serving a buyer who is willing to become a mover for a new experience or lifestyle. Even a seller is often a buyer and a mover. It is the movers who have a vision of where they want to go, how they want to live, and how they want to begin the architecture of change. And I believe that my purpose as a real estate advisor is to help you fulfill that vision so you and your family can live your best life.
The architecture of change is a delicate balance of chaos as the first idea begins that it is time to move. Once the idea has been seated in the mind, the work begins. Then, the first how begins: How am I going to get this accomplished? For some, the next question would be: Who do I need to call? Who can serve my vision? Who can make it easier to make this change?
It will never be about the market, as our life changes follow a different course. While no one can truly time the bottom or top of the real estate market, we do know that how someone purchases real estate can make a significant difference in their wealth position. We can always decide what we want to pay for something, and another can choose to accept it or not.
So this brings me to the market of the moment and the value I see. In June, we saw an incredible amount of price reductions in the luxury market sector, including a slowdown in closed trades. July was quiet, which is not unusual, and August is usually very quiet, yet in the last two weeks, we saw more energy in showings, and now properties are going pending. What does this mean?
The value in the market is shining, or some would say timing; what this means is prices have adjusted to what buyers are interested in spending, the interest rates are predicted to drop, and the climate is looking very nice to purchase in many of the top real estate markets in the United States. I can tell you areas that have softened in Austin, and I see the potential of an equity purchase up front. Regarding sellers, there are areas in high demand that would allow more seller profit.
With the real estate industry moving through more defined representation of buyer agencies, buyers and sellers have opportunities to win. If you are interested in having a deeper understanding of where I see value and where I see trends, reach out to me. It would be a pleasure to serve your vision or be your real estate wealth determiner. - Carl
