Fear typically comes from a lack of education so it’s our mission to educate you on the real estate market and ‘lift the curtain’ on all your uncertainties about the real estate process.

3 Important Lessons We Learned Our First Year as a New Real Estate Brokerage

It's crazy how fast the first year in business goes...
It is one of the most exciting, terrifying, exhausting and rewarding experiences we have ever gone through.

Although this past year has had its ups and downs, we have learned 3 very important lessons that have shaped who we are today and who we will become in the future...

1. Patience is Powerful
I'm sure you've heard it before: Business is a marathon NOT a sprint!
Although we have learned that (in some ways) you need to move FAST in real estate, sprinting too quickly more often leads to avoidable missteps rather than success.
Steady growth requires patience and time BUT is far more sustainable and (in our experience) has been a key to our success year 1!

2. Put People First (then Innovate)
In a saturated market like real estate, it's SO easy to make decisions based on what is trending in the industry.

Buy a Home OR Sell Your Home...What Do You Do FIRST?

"The real estate market is in a constant state of flux"
It is always changing and adapting to the supply and demand in the market.
So when it's time for you to move, do you...
"BUY or SELL First?"
The way we figure this out is by first understanding what kind of market we are entering in to and building a strategy around it.
So how do you know what kind of real estate market you are entering and what does this mean to your buy or sell first strategy?
There are 3 types of real estate markets:
→ Buyers Market
→ Sellers Market
→ Balanced Market
1. Identifying a 'Buyers Market'
If you are a buyer looking to a purchase home in a buyer's real estate market, this is the best financial market for you to buy in… but why?
 
It is because there are more homes available for sale than there are buyers to purchase them.
 
In a buyers market, sellers are often more motivated to negotiate in order to make the sale.

This means you can probably buy a h! ...
