Our guest on this episode of the Start With A Win podcast is Vince Malta, President of the National Association of Realtors. Vince is a real estate broker in the Bay Area who volunteers as the NAR President. He was voted California’s Realtor of the Year in 2007. Under Vince’s leadership, NAR created new mission and vision statements and reaffirmed their commitments to their realtors and homeowners across America by extension. During this pandemic, Vince has seen the great resolve and agility of realtors all over the country who have kept their clients safe while still getting more work done than anyone could have predicted. 

In most states, real estate was deemed an essential business function, perhaps thanks to the efforts of NAR to publicize their national guidelines about the necessity of realtors in providing shelter for so many Americans. Realtors are real estate agents who have aligned themselves with the NAR code of ethics in efforts to serve their clients with the highest levels of integrity, and they have lived up to their name these past few months. Vince has seen first-hand the ingenuity and resilience of realtors as they quickly adapted their normal business practices to handle most of the real estate transaction process virtually while still achieving high levels of engagement with their clients.

Vince shares the current opportunities for realtors in this market, including differentiating yourself as an agent and realizing people are looking at their properties differently now. Perhaps people are investing in home improvements to either make their house meet their needs or to prepare it for selling. If you have had your own thoughts about your current living situation after spending three months at home, hopefully, you have a realtor in your corner to help you navigate your questions and any next steps. 

June is National Homeownership Month. Vince encourages realtors and other listeners of the podcast to check out and share the posts from the Homeownership Matters accounts, as well as share your own stories about home using the hashtag #createhome.
