I’ve always thought that a real estate investor just bought houses, fixed ‘em up, and sold them for more money or something of that sort.

Am I completely off the mark?

Can a real estate agent of broker please help me answer these questions?

I am currently attending the University of Western Ontario to obtain a Bachelors degree (in my second year). This summer (and the next summer) I want to attend OREA (Ontario Real Estate Association) to get my real estate license. Is this all I have to do to become a real estate agent? Do I need other experience, and what else can I do to guarantee that I get a job in the field?

I’m thinking of majoring in real estate and had a few questions for this job. What are majors required to become a real estate agent? Are there any colleges that specialize in that major? How about the required degrees? How many years of education will it take?
I also live in California to be specific.

So, you have the most advanced and dynamic real estate agent website on the web. You got all the bells and whistles your buyers and sellers would ever want. The traffic is rolling in, but there’s still one problem. Where are the leads?

Like every other real estate agent, you know how tough it is to find quality real estate leads. You need potential clients to take action now! Not wait, sit on the fence for a while and eventually slip away. So how can you catch these clients hook, line and sinker? Learn how to market and advertise YOURSELF! Take advantage of the features your realty website offers that allow you to show off.

Write a catchy and creative blurb on your professional skills, attitude and star sales qualities.

Remind your clients to interact with your website. Ask them to fill out a form, contact you and save their favourite properties. Make them communicate with you in any way possible.

Take advantage of every touch point. Store clients’ e-mails, phone numbers and addresses. Make sure to contact every single person that makes contact with you.

Don’t fall into the background. Stay top of mind with a monthly newsletter, deal of the month or open house invitation.

Always show customers what’s in it for them. Sell yourself through your abilities, actions and services not through boasting, bragging or arrogance.

Make an offer they can’t refuse. Promise a free home staging quote, t-shirt, mortgage broker quote or even a useful real estate report if they fill out a form. Remember, everyone LOVES something for free. Tag team with an industry specialist to make it happen.

Identify what makes you different from every other money-hungry agent. Create a Unique Selling Proposition for your services and run with it. Make it the bread-and-butter of your business.

Ask them for referrals, testimonials, questions and requests. Keep your phone number and e-mail visible and in the right places. Present a call to action that encourages them to follow through.

 

Make your REALTOR® website a real estate research headquarters. Give your visitors ALL the info they need to know. You can bet buyers & sellers will get online to make an informed decision long before they take any definitive action with an agent. Why not be the one-stop-shop? Appeal to their every real estate need, want and desire. With the right marketing and advertising strategies, they will stay on your site longer and visit more often. That’s how you ring in the qualified sales. Cha-ching!

 

A Snapshot Of Coastal San Diego’s Luxury Real Estate Market: Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Coronado, and La Jolla

Snapshot Of Coastal San Diego’s Luxury Real Estate Markets | Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Coronado, and La Jolla.

While there has been a surge in recent luxury home sales, we have noticed some trends that have become apparent in today’s market, effecting both pricing and sales. Rather than provide puffery, let’s look at some concrete data from the current marketplace provided by Altos Research LLC. Surprisingly, the results have been better than expected; however we need to keep a close eye in the coming months for a more grounded and substantive sample.

For Sellers: The coming months are going to be the best opportunity to sell with low interest rates and the seasonally active marketplace.  Unfortunately, there are many more luxury homes for sale than qualified buyers, which will leave much inventory unsold or stagnant. In looking at pending homes sold in Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Coronado, and La Jolla, most have been priced very aggressively or have had a substantial price reduction prior to the pending date due to softness in the luxury market. Selling an estate in this current market takes aggressive pricing, superior marketing, and a value substantive presentation. This is what buyers are looking for and they are definitely out there to be had. First and foremost, inventory is on the climb throughout San Diego. All markets have shown an uptrend in inventory with data going back to 2007.

Median Asking Prices: Rancho Santa Fe has shown the largest downward trend in median asking price, while the other markets have shown to be a bit more stable. Upon analyzing the recent sales in Rancho Santa Fe it has become apparent many low-priced bank owned or distressed sales have created softness in this upper-tier market.

The Good News: The average days on the market is actually trending downward, showing a surge in demand, however the average amount of days on the market remains slightly above 200 days, a trend indicating active buyers are being selective and cautious.

The Indicators: A good snapshot is how many listing prices are being reduced.  This would signify a weakness in the market with Sellers pricing downward in hopes of a quicker sales. There has been a downward trend in listing price reductions however.

The market active index is still very much a “Buyer’s Market”, all registering below a scale of 15.

For Those Looking To Sell: June, July, and August will be the best opportunity for Sellers as the market cools towards the end of the year and interest rates are likely to increase.  It’s going to be a long crawl back to a more normalized market and REO (Bank Owned) sales will continue to be the benchmark for market value.
