Ep 7: The Difference of the Real Estate Market from 2000s to Today (Asante Stories)

After being in the industry for almost two decades, Rama has seen a lot of changes in the real estate market. 

From the changes in technology to the trends happening in the market and even the changes in our relationships with our clients. 

Transcript: 

I’ve been in the business for 18 years and when I joined the business in 2004, things were very different.

The real estate industry was very different, and things have changed a lot now.

In fact I bought my first home in 2002 and at that time you would literally sit with an agent with an MLS book to look for homes, and Yahoo search came out the first time.

So things have changed a lot since then and I have come to a position today where I'm running a very successful team and a few things that I learned along the way not only as a business owner but as a person who is delivering services as to the customer, people do get carried away with nonsense that they hear and things that they want to hear that makes them feel good.

This is your biggest wealth building journey and listening to and trusting somebody who is actually giving you valid advice should mean a lot. But unfortunately it doesn't.

It's one of the other key things that I learned (as an agent)and then being supportive to the clients (second).

Supporting them through their journey of tears and joys, and celebrations, and being a part of that journey adds so much value to my own experiences in life and seeing life.

Those are the experiences that I share with my clients: bringing value to them. So it's a mutual kind of an experience share. And even with my team, I share my experiences. Letting them know how to deal with customers how to assist them, bring them to the path of them purchasing or selling their home and telling them what exactly to do and not to do because we've learned and especially now with the markets changing, we knew this was going to happen.

But then you know a lot of the people were listening to agents saying, “Oh my God, this thing is going to be on a tear forever. You know you're smart enough and I have a little bit of smartness in me to know that it wasn't going to happen forever and things are changing now.

So I'm kind of curious to see how things changing in the real estate market is going to play out but I'm here for my clients for anybody who wants to hire us if you want to have a one-on-one discussion on where your needs are how we can assist you we're here to help you.

Take care!
