Traditional Selling Methods Used By Most Real Estate Investors Are Putting Them On The Endangered Species List! Trying to make sense of the Real Estate Market? Are you stuck with houses that you cannot sell? Are you sitting on the sidelines waiting to see what will happen? Maybe you think there is an opportunity to buy properties cheaply but have stopped buying because you are not sure how you are going to sell? If you are like most people you have been hearing lots of confusing news reports about the real estate market; specifically single family houses. Some say the bubble is going to burst, others say, the price correction is over and we are in for a soft landing and yet still others say this is the best time to buy. What’s sad is that a lot of investors out there that are sitting idle and doing nothing; which means of course they are making nothing or loosing money on houses sitting unsold. I just talked to another Real Estate Investor who was “quiting”. I see that often. It’s too bad because right now is the best time to invest. There seems to be a paralysis striking the “real estate nation”. Fear and doubt are rampant. It all stems from the fear of not being able to sell. In Any Industry, Leaders Are Faced With Changing Markets and Challenges to Their Sales Figures. Just like in real estate, most often the first thing to affect a business is poor sales. Please consider the consumer products marketing department for Motorola. Cell phones. They had an awesome line of cell phones called “The Razor”. For a while it seemed like everybody had one. Well, guess what… the iPhone came out and put the Razor on the back shelf. Sales were down and layoffs followed. They have to adapt or perish. Real Estate Investors Face a Challenge: Figure Out How To Sell, or Become Extinct. But unlike Motorola, where they have huge overhead and fixed development and product costs, we can buy our product at a discount. Pick up any newspaper and it is splashed across the headlines. Foreclosures reach all time high. Translation: the product you sell in now available at a huge discount. Oh, and lets not forget! Most investors have put on the parachute and bailed out leaving very little competition. It has never been a better time to Buy! In my opinion, the worse the news about the conventional real estate market, the better. It will allow us to buy houses a lot cheaper, which of course means we make more money as long as we know how to turn the equity into cash. That means the number one thing you need to do is set yourself up to be able to sell houses for fair market value even in this slow market. If you’re sitting on properties that are not selling it is draining your energy and your bank account. Worse yet, you probably have stopped buying properties because you cannot sell the ones you have. You have turned off the only source for generating new income. So what’s left; do nothing and get out of real estate until sometime in the future, or fix what is broken. What is broken of course is the ability to cash out of properties in a slow market. In this market the ability to sell properties fast is what will make or break you. So don’t give up sharpen your selling skills.
