TAKE THE INMAN INTEL INDEX SURVEY FOR JUNE
It seems that for much of this year, we’ve all been flying by the seat of our pants as new changes continually roil the real estate industry. From legal wranglings to deadlines to appeals, not to mention up-and-down interest rates and a less-than-stellar spring market, it’s been a journey. The good news? You’re never alone. There’s always a broker, colleague, mentor, coach or trusted advisor to turn to.
Since you’ve been having some valuable conversations, we wanted to know: What’s the best advice you’ve heard (so far) in 2024? Did someone help you figure out your post-settlement strategy in practical terms? Did someone help you set up a solid buyer presentation, complete with buyer agreement? Did you attend a training session or sign on with a coach and learn oh-so-much? Here are your words of wisdom:
- Do the right thing, and the money will come. It will all be fine.
- After living and loving this business for over 30 years, a good friend looked at me while we were attending a panel discussion on upcoming changes in the MLS rules and buyer representation changes. I had been considering retirement, and she just said, “Why don’t you go ahead and retire now and collect referrals?” I went back into the room to listen and thought: “Yes, this is the right time.”
- Change is part of life. A good life. Roll with it!
