Today on The Epic Agent Success Podcast, Jerry and Jacobe are talking about buyers. What is happening with the crazy market? What are buyers saying now? Knowing that buyer demand is down, how do you get them off the fence? Tune in for all the important details.
Episode Highlights:
- What is the rollercoaster of emotions that real estate agents have been on the last couple of years with COVID, rates, etc?
- Jerry talks about how it was a rough spring and summer for buyers as he would have clients go out every weekend and help them write offers over list, waiving contingencies, etc.
- Jacobe says, “I think buyer demand went to the basement here.”
- How are you going to pivot and make it work?
- Jerry talks about how the booming business with low rates and everybody buying had a lot of downfalls too.
- Jacobe talks about the unique circumstances in his market that he hasn’t seen before.
- Sellers for a while were not required to do anything to sell. Now it is time to do the things required and make sure you price it right.
- From the public’s perspective, all you are seeing is a lot of price reductions and then hearing the media saying there will be a market crash. Jacobe warns that then you are not really getting the full picture then.
- How is it going for wholesalers?
- FHA buyers are coming back around along with first time buyers and those who couldn’t compete in the housing market earlier in the year.
- Rent rates are way up which is forcing people to be buyers in Jerry’s market.
- Jacobe says agents are telling him that many people are holding off for rates to come down but Jerry says in his market rates are not even a conversation.
- Jacobe asks Jerry where he is finding the leads for the buyers that are motivated even without this market changing.
- What type of buyers are now staying put?
- Jacobe talks about how they are trying to counsel younger, inexperienced buyers.
- Could now still be a good time to buy because of less competition?
- What is the 2-1 buydown?
- Jerry talks about the strategy he likes right now. He says, “As agents, we have to do our work and know what options we can give these buyers.”
- Jacobe talks about the real conversations that should be had with buyers so that they can make the best informed decisions.
- What about referrals? Where is the value that you can bring specifically to the buying/selling process right now?
- Jerry talks about their VIP buyer advantage program.
- What do you say to everyone who is hearing and saying that it is a terrible time to buy?
- How does Social Media impact leads? Jerry talks about how being on TikTok has given him conversations with younger buyers that need help.
