Who Are You, What Do You Do?
There is no doubt that 2024 will be a year we return to normalcy. Home price appreciation levels will return to their 40-year average annual rate of about 5%. Mortgage rates will continue to moderate bringing both additional buyers and sellers to the market. Affordability will improve causing a return to 5+million home sales nationally.
For those agents that are committed to ‘who they are’ and ‘what they do’, 2024 will be a sensational year. At our core, coded into our DNA, must be the responsibility to be there for our customers and clients when we are needed. It’s to tackle and answer the hardest questions the 2024 market will generate.
Most agents KNOW what’s happening.
Good agents UNDERSTAND what’s happening.
Great agents CAN EXPLAIN what’s happening.
While this is always true, there are times that are simply different. There are times we are called to operate at a higher level. And it’s in these times – like 2008, like 2020, and like RIGHT NOW – that consumers look to us and ask nervously, “What should we do next?”
Being there to help them make the best decisions for themselves and their families is what we do. Those agents most committed to help, will find 2024 to be one of the most fulfilling years of their careers.
