Risk for a decade. I have to tell you that doesn’t sound very attractive.

I don’t think anyone is telling the real numbers. People don’t just sell for lots of reasons and most of them are bad decisions but it happens a lot.

How is that going to show up on people’s personal credit? As late payments, like 30,60, 90 days past due? And then stay there so continuously 90 days past due? That would kill their credit if that is the case.

Love of a hobby, commitment to hard work…..those are GREAT legacies to leave behind. What I hear people saying is generational wealth and leaving a legacy. Those are financial goals. That is what I was getting at with my article.

 
I agree I’m going with The Matrix theory.

NYC. I love that city and yes I agree it is the greatest city in the world. I have to be honest it is a place that stands alone in my mind as far as Real Estate and I have little to no experience with it. I would hate to see the city struggle more financially than they all ready are.

I for one don’t think the election is going to have an immediate effect on the Real Estate market.
The outcome and policies that come from a new administration or the continuation of this current administration will have an effect but those are more long term.

 

Do you think the prices have increased as a direct result of lower interest rates? People now have more buying power.

I see a lot of different sales techniques and most hold some merit. I have seen genuine, sleezy, pushy, aggressive, tactical and a million others in this business. I say go with what works for you but always be willing to adjust for your audience.

If you are dealing with a homeowner, you may employ a vastly different sales technique than if you are dealing with an investor when negotiating on a property. My caution to those out there that are coming across as overconfident in themselves, or some may even say cocky, is remember who you are dealing with. If you are dealing with an investor who has been around a while and is likely going to be around for a while you may have to deal with them again in the future. If the impression you left on your last discussion or negotiation has left a sour taste in their mouth, they are going to enter the next conversation with that taste already planted.

Any which way you approach me or leave a conversation with me is not going to make much of a difference. While there is no doubt, I have not seen it all, I do feel like I have seen enough to have built up a tolerance. On top of that I make a very conscious effort to make sure that I enter new conversations with a fresh perspective and try not to either prejudge or let past stains show. However, apparently this is not always the case.

I very recently caught myself saying “ugh, forget it I don’t want to deal with this guy he’s a pain in the ***” and entered a negotiation on a negative note. This is something I personally will have to be conscious of and try to remedy. My guess is most people you deal with do not put that effort in. Remember you never truly know who you are talking to so treat people fairly despite any initial presumptions you may have. For a completely contradictory statement-- know your audience.
