Why does the fed raise interest rates? Well, we know it's to cool off inflation but this is complicated stuff when it gets down to it. Real estate agents need to have a basic understanding of how inflation works and why the Fed does what it does. A few weeks ago I was having happy hour with my good friend, Max Leaman and he went into detail about it. I was impressed by the way he explained it and thought I'd have him on the Podcast. By the way, this is a 2-part podcast. The second part is the amazing story about how Max started Loan People. It's not easy to start your own mortgage BANK and it's a very interesting story. So...Like and subscribe to see that interview in a week or so.

You’re going to get objections as a real estate agent and you’re going to need to handle those objections in order to move your client forward. Otherwise, you’re going to find that you’re not closing deals. You’re going to find that you’re working your ass off to stay in the bottom production of your firm.

This is not the same real estate market that it has been in the last 3 years. Most home buyers under 30 years old have not seen rates above 5%. It's important that you are able to ask the right questions to buyers that are hesitant and then provide them with historical data that guides them to make the right decision on whether they should buy now or wait. We believe the best sales people sell by consultation and not by trying to get someone to do what they don't want to do. But in order to show a potential client or homebuyer what is going in the market, you need to figure out their home ownership goals and go from there.
