This is an election year and that means the fear and loathing over the economy, housing market, interest rates and inflation, social issues will only intensify. You know that the headlines can't be trusted, but the facts can.

From NAR this week:
National Association of Realtors® Chief Economist Lawrence Yun forecasts that interest rates will fall in the long term, 2024 existing-home sales will rise to 4.46 million (up 9% from 4.09 million in 2023), and 2025 existing-home sales will increase to 5.05 million (up 13.2% from 2024).
Yun also explained that rents will calm down further, which will hold down the consumer price index (CPI) and make the Federal Reserve cut interest rates.
Yun said that based on April's employment data, there are six million more jobs compared to the pre-Covid highs, and jobs are boosting home prices.

Spring 2024 Must Know Real Estate Market Facts

Real Estate Agents: Are you finding it challenging to determine which of your buyer leads will actually buy? Will they buy with YOU?

Facts:
-There are more buyers in today's market than there are listings to sell them.
-Even when your buyers are both motivated AND qualified, you have no guarantee that you'll find them the right house, win a potential bidding war, and soon you may have to worry about how you'll get paid for your hard work.  Prequalification just became more important than ever!
HUGE Announcement: You will love this! Looking for the full outline from today's presentation? Our DAILY Newsletter featured lead generation systems, real estate scripts, daily success plans and (YES) the notes or today's show. Best part? The newsletter is free! https://harrisrealestatedaily.com/
How do you determine which of your buyers will actually turn into a closed transaction?   Who should you set appointments with to have a Buyer Presentation and get the Agency and Exclusive Agency documents signed?
The Buyer Prequalification Script is simply a conversational outline, using questions to find out the following from your buyer prospects.  After using the Buyer Prequalification Script, you'll meet your buyer prospects and use your Buyer Presentation to solidify your relationship, how you work, and how commissions work.

Today we are showing you a few questions from the Buyer Prequalification Script.  For the full script and the Buyer Presentation, simply join Premier Coaching for free today.
1.     "I assume because you're calling/emailing/texting me directly, you're not already working with another agent?" This question happens early in the script, so you can skip the rest of the script if they're already committed to another Realtor.
2.     "What price has your lender told you NOT to go above?"  This question covers all of the bases with regard to finding out about their financing.  When you ask this question, they'll tell you if they're all cash.  They'll tell you that they haven't got a lender yet, they'll tell you if they're pre-approved, and what price not to go over.  Instead of asking all those individual questions, the script "What price has your lender told you not to go above?" gets straight to the answer.

3.     "Which home in the neighborhood do you plan on selling?"  This helps you determine if they are also listing leads!  Note: many agents never ask this question when they get buyer leads. Don't make this mistake! Many buyer leads are listing leads in disguise.

You need two things: to get your buyers in contract and to find more listings for your own inventory.  
In this 2-part podcast series, we will show you how to accomplish both!
PART TWO.

7.     Connect with Assisted Living Care housing intake directors.  Most people pay for their assisted care living costs by selling their homes and cashing out the equity.  The housing intake coordinators are a great source of those leads.  Provide value by being a liaison between the homeowner and the director, and the director will love you!  Modify your Pre Listing Package to include contacts for estate sale specialists, pet rescue, moving and storage, etc.
8.     Find the Notice of Defaults.  Search the zip codes your buyers are looking for for  NODs and see if the homes fit your buyer's criteria.  These are not usually listed, but they are usually motivated!
9.     Mine your own database (your past clients and people in your sphere of influence) as 'shadow inventory'.  Who owns a home currently that may be a match for your qualified and motivated buyers?  This creates two to three transactions for you.  
10.     Call 100% of your database to see who is curious about what their home is now worth in today's market.  If they knew their home is now worth ____, what would that do to their plans?
11.     Search your neighborhoods for 'half-done flips'.  The cost of building materials and labor has increased dramatically.  Which flippers are feeling the pinch?  Certain buyers may be willing to purchase the home and finish it themselves or at least get into a contract pending the finishing of the project.  
12.     Condo or apartment conversions.  There are still new or newer neighborhoods or buildings that have been rentals but are now becoming resales.  
13.  Expired listings... recent expireds and older expireds. You probably CAN get them their price in today's market. Offer to provide a new comparative market analysis and see what that does to their plans.
REAL ESTATE LEADS, LEADS and more LEADS: Question: What is Tim and Julie Harris's favorite PROBATE LEAD PROVIDER? Simple, alltheleads.com/harris
14.     For Sale By Owners (unrepresented sellers), especially if they have been on the market for more than two weeks and still haven't sold.
15.     Absentee owners.  RE-InvestorList.com and other companies provide this information.  Get the address, make sure it's not already listed, and connect with the owners to see their plan for the property.  Offer a free CMA to help them decide!
16.     Vacation Rentals (VRBOs). Look at the rental history and pursue property owners who own homes in the areas you or your buyers want to see if they would consider selling. Their phone numbers and email addresses are almost always listed online. Many VRBOs are experiencing new rules that limit their rental options, thus reducing their profitability.

How To FINALLY Find A Home For Your Buyer! (Part 2)

Where's all the inventory?  Yes, it's growing, but it's also all selling nearly immediately.  There are buyers who are all cash, loan-committed, or at least pre-approved, anxiously waiting for you to get them what they want ASAP.

Before we get to the secret sources and strategies, here are some thoughts to consider:
1.     How well do you know what your buyers are actually looking for?  Are they (or you) being too specific or overly obsessed with certain areas, amenities, or schools?   It may be time to discuss having some flexibility.  Know your buyer client's 'must have' versus 'would be nice to have' criteria.
2.     Stop relying only on your MLS.  This is one method but is no longer THE method.
REAL ESTATE LEADS, LEADS and more LEADS: Question: What is Tim and Julie Harris's favorite PROBATE LEAD PROVIDER? Simple, alltheleads.com/harris
Commit to following these strategies for every qualified and motivated buyer (especially those who also have listings to sell), or simply refer them to an agent who will do a better job for them. It's not fair for buyers to not be in contract simply because you haven't been strategic enough to find them something!
The goal of the following strategies is to:
-Find off-market homes for you to list.
-Find off-market homes to sell to your buyers so they no longer lose out to competition. If you want to stop competing (and losing), you MUST find homes they're unlikely to compete on!
Ready to become an EXPIRED Listing Agent? As promised, here is the discount link for the EXPIRED LISTING LEADS: https://www.redx.com/affiliate/tim-and-julie-harris/
Now for your 20 Strategies to find off-market or hidden listings:
1.     Get more creative with your MLS searches.  If your buyers keep losing out to multiple bids, search your MLS using the same criteria but for homes that have been on the market for more than 60 days, more than 90 days, etc.  They probably won't be competing for those homes.  Maybe they would consider a duplex in the same area, especially if it provides income for them.  Have you had these conversations?
2.     Expand the search for your buyers geographically.  If they say they want 'these three zip codes in Austin,' for example, identify WHY those zip codes and find other areas that have more inventory but feel similar to those zip codes.  Same for school districts, amenities, etc.  Maybe they just like the neighborhood park in that neighborhood, but there's a BETTER one 10 miles away.

How To FINALLY Find A Home For Your Buyer!

Real Estate Agents:  Are you finding that most of your deals are with people who already know you?  That's normal, and that's great...until you run out of 'easy' deals.

What happens when you meet someone new, someone who might be talking with other agents and trying to decide who to represent them when buying or selling real estate?  What if their spouse also has someone in mind?  How can you more easily win their trust and earn their business?  Do you feel you can compete and win in any situation, in front of any personality style or price range?

If these thoughts make you even a tiny bit nervous, It may be time to upgrade everything! Here's a quick list of just SOME of the things we work with our Premier and Elite Coaching Clients to accomplish:
1.     Upgrade your presentations.  To be successful nearly 100% of the time, you'll need to have a competitive and proven Listing Presentation, a Pre-Listing Package, and, now more than ever, a Buyer Presentation.
-Do you have these presentations?
-Are you using the presentations?
-Are you getting signed listing and buyer contracts at least 90% of the time?
-Do your presentations specifically answer, 'Why should I hire you versus another agent, or versus not using an agent at all?'
REAL ESTATE LEADS, LEADS and more LEADS: Question: What is Tim and Julie Harris's favorite PROBATE LEAD PROVIDER? Simple, alltheleads.com/harris
If you answered YES to all 5 questions, then you should be able to list between one house per month and one house per week, no problem.  (Assuming you know how to lead generate, and that will be a future point!)
If you answered NO to any of these questions, it's time to upgrade your presentations.  Get help with this by joining Premier Coaching today for free.

-Are you converting leads to appointments and appointments to contracts?
-Do you understand and follow the Spokes in the Wheel model, and are you actively working on each spoke well enough to get results?
3.     Upgrade the look and feel of all of your marketing and presentation materials.  
-Do you have the same professional and authentic picture, logo, and colors on all of your assets, both online and off?  
-Do you look like the same agent on every item?
