There’s a lot of discourse about the lack of inventory in the real estate market right now. Circumstances are definitely challenging but, with 80 million households in this country, the real problem isn’t a lack of inventory – it’s a lack of listed inventory. The inventory is out there, you just have to go find it!
If you’re proactive and take action, you can create your own inventory and have a phenomenal year in 2021. Here are some powerful strategies you can start using today:
Make It Known That Now is a Great Time To Sell
In the current uncertain climate, people need professional advice, guidance and leadership more than ever. Share the most up-to-date statistics, facts and figures with your clients. Encourage them to get news and information from a trusted resource like “It’s a Good Life,” which features interviews with leading economists, like Dr. Lawrence Yun of the National Association of REALTORS®. By providing them with reliable data on the housing market and economy straight from the source, you can reassure your clients that now is a great time to buy and sell.
Canvas Neighborhoods That Match Your Buyers’ Wants
In today’s competitive market, you need to get out there and shake the bushes! If you’re unable to find what you’re looking for, scout suitable neighborhoods for properties with the features you want. If you find something that might work, write to the homeowners to tell them that you may have a buyer for their home. Keep the letter short and make it personal, remembering to attach your contact details. Sometimes people delay putting their house on the market because they fear they won’t be able to find another one. Getting a handwritten note from a proactive agent like you could be just the encouragement they need to make a decision!
Revisit Your Database
Don’t wait for people to contact you – reach out to them first! Go through your database and then call or write to your clients to see how they’re doing and whether they might be considering a move. If someone you’ve already sold to is ready to act, then you can line up their home for your buyer. Being proactive like this means you can dynamically demonstrate your skills and show your clients that you’re ready, willing and able to do the legwork needed to get them their dream home. In these unprecedented times, people need to know that they’re dealing with a highly skilled professional who can deliver.
