Agents Invest Memo #7

Last month we hosted the Investor Agent Summit and closed the doors to our Investor Agent Bootcamp for 2021. October flew by quickly!

But don’t worry. If you weren’t able to join, we’ve still got plenty of opportunities for learning and resources coming your way.

And of course, we’ve got some real estate trends you should take note of over the last month. Is inflation really supposed to last this long??

As California ends single-family-only zoning, it’s the beginning of a long road ahead to building easy and affordable housing in California.

Federal Chair Jerome Powell states that inflation may last longer due to pressure on prices and supply bottlenecks in certain sectors.

Higher energy prices are driving higher inflation and straining supply chains.

Co-buying continues to skyrocket due to millennials pooling in finances to make first-time home-buying purchases.

AGENTS INVEST REFERRAL PROGRAM UPDATES

Wow! Our investor referral agents are having a banner year. I’d say closing on 204 properties and generating $1,846,000 in commissions is something worth celebrating!
