Interest rates are 📈, got a plan?

When you’re growing as an agent, no two days are the same. Because the real estate market is never static.

Think about it: interest rates alone keep agents, buyers, and sellers on their toes.

As we kickstart 2022, interest rates are suspected of going up — shocker! One thing most agents aren’t looking forward to is having those difficult conversations with clients.

Keep in mind that interest rates are something you can't control. Don't be discouraged, though. Despite the fact that the residential market is slowing down, investors' desire to buy investment properties is increasing.

Haven’t had a chance to go all-in on working with investors? 2022 could be your year.

Now let’s dive in:
