I have a great idea for my fellow real estate agents out there.

It's called the Buyer's Eyes Strategy. Here's how it works:

When I have a client selling their house, I treat them as if they are a buyer in the market for a home in their price range. I put them in the MLS as if they are a real buyer, and they start receiving emails with new listings, price changes, and updates on pending or sold houses. This helps them stay informed, in real time, without having to wait for me to tell them what's going on.

I also get CC'd on the same emails, so I'm seeing what they're seeing. This allows us to have a productive conversation and make any necessary adjustments or changes to their selling strategy.

They start receiving these emails right away, and they'll get updates every day or every couple of days. This way, they become really familiar with the market and can make informed decisions about their own...

Hey guys, interesting stat for you:

Luxury housing is soaring! It's up 81% from the number of transactions from last year to now.

Now why would that be?

The answer is if you look at the luxury housing market in most areas of the country, you could not build that luxury home for what you're paying for it today. Because construction costs and land development costs have gone so high.

When people with money are looking at these listings, they're saying, "Hey, wait a second. This is an opportunity. This is a market opportunity for me to buy, because I know I couldn't build it for the same price."

They're actually buying at a discount in their minds. Even though prices have risen, they haven't outpaced what it would cost to build these luxury houses.

So this is still an opportunity. It's a market space. And a lot of people haven't focused on it. But there's a lot of great, great buys within the luxury market space.

So check it out,...
