As a successful agent of 14 years and typically working with the upper clientelle, I have shifted my business to where the business is and that is typically in the low end with first time home buyers, investors and those few taking advantage of the move up opportunities they have. Challenging yes but what I am finding more challenging is dealing with the publics perceptions.
Here's a typical conversation. " Hey Joe, so nice to meet you" (small talk) then he says "ohhh, you are in real estate, that can't be good right now". I say "Joe that depends on your perception, there are the best deals out there in years!!!" I give him a couple of examples and then he says, " wow, but it doesn't matter cause you can't get a loan anyway!" and I say, "truthfully Joe, you can. If you can document your income and have good credit, I can get it done. Example, I just did 95% financing for a single woman and secured the loan in 10 working days. From bid to closed was just three weeks and the best thing is that this market afforded her her dream."
So if you don't have a script, use me as an example. If you don't have a loan officer who can get it done for you, let me know, I'll share mine. The money is there, the deals are there. If you are content in staying in your old ways then be content in the slash your income has likely taken. If not, get busy, there is money to made! Moreover, if you want to the training to achieve this and more for free, contact me about Keller Williams. What's that old saying? "The proof is in the puding"? Meet these great agents that are thriving in this market and you'll know you found the absolute best puding.
