The Ups and Downs of Real Estate

I’m a local San Diego real estate agent and part of my business plan and job duties is to assist as many people as possible with their varying housing situations. The primary two of these situations is selling and buying of property. The thing is that in these current volatile times, some of these situations are newer in nature and present more challenges than in the past. The advent of new types of financing has changed the topography of the real estate landscape. The times have changed and as a modern day Realtor I feel that I would be doing a disservice to the public in general if I didn’t try to help as many  people as I’m capable of. 

As I walked my “Farm”, which is the geographical area a Realtor is more familiar with and is ususally the neighborhood he or she resides in, I made a tough decision. I decided that as I knocked doors I would make the extra effort to approach those people who I thought might be in a slightly more difficult situation, requiring more immediate attention. Talking to people in these more difficult situations can be unnerving because the subjects the conversation touches on are of significant size and importance. A home, in andof itself, is a person’s largest asset and carries with it emotional attachment that other possessions don’t, thus making people more reluctant to open their door to a Realtor and talk about their situation.

I feel that a good Realtor can be extremely helpful and I believe it starts by being a good listener foremost and secondly by then presenting all possible options. As a Realtor, I feel that when I knock on someone’s door, all I truly want to accomplish is an opportunity to present all of the potential scenarios. Whether you need to get a loan modification, short sell your home, do a traditinal sale or achieve a complete clean start with bankruptcy let’s sit down and talk about all of the options available to you and find out which would best serve you. A good Realtor shouldn’t advise a client with their own interests in mind nor should they shy away from challenging situations and tough topics of conversations and that’s the way I do business.  Can we talk?
