HOW ARE YOU PREPARING FOR THE COMING PARADIGM SHIFT?

 HOW ARE YOU PREPARING FOR THE COMING PARADIGM SHIFT?

We hear it every day, in general terms, that the real estate industry is changing, but what does that mean if you do real estate for a living?  

HOW WILL YOU BE IMPACTED? 

How will the envisioned change affect you, and how do you prepare for what will be more than change, but a paradigm shift? 
Change is constant; it bubbles along until there has been enough for that change to manifest in one way or another. The change that is approaching is not just any change, but a fundamental shift to the significant aspects of dealing in real estate… it is a paradigm shift. 
A paradigm is a model, a set of rules, the way something gets done. They surround us, from sports to the rules of business. Paradigms set up boundaries and give us the rules for success within those boundaries. 
The rules surrounding the purchase and sale of real estate are changing, shifting. A significant aspect of paradigm shifts is that when it happens, everyone goes back to zero. No matter how good you were under the old paradigm, when the rules change, all bets are off. Your past success guarantees nothing when a paradigm shifts and in the business of  real estate, the paradigm is shifting. Fundamental changes are underway that will soon manifest in new ways to do old things. 

WHAT IS CAUSING THE CHANGE? 
Technology, the internet, the consumer, and boatloads of capital to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into the real estate industry, will streamline the process. These “nodes” are converging in a way that will forever change much of the current real property transaction process. Everyone wants to stake out a claim to what is now recognized as a long-term, trusted, relationship gateway, the real estate transaction, before, during and after.  

HOW WILL YOU MAKE A LIVING? 

Why is this important to those who earn a living helping others purchase and sell real estate? 
In this new emerging ecosystem, real estate professionals, what we call The New Real Estate Professionals, must be able to articulate their value proposition in a more concise way than ever before. The need for expressing clear value among real estate professionals is especially true as every aspect of a piece of property becomes readily available to the consumer online at no apparent cost to the consumer.
Commissions will continue to decline over the long term, as technology and the advancement of internet technologies specifically, remove friction from the transaction. Consumers will be given more choice and more control over the buying and selling process. Many new business models are ready to provide consumers with the tools they need; in many cases even before the consumer knows that they need them! 
Consumers will be afforded increased transparency about the real estate transaction, and just as important, they will adopt the new tools and methods of buying and selling. In the not-too-distant future, it will require more deals to earn the same gross commissions. Over the next few years, more new pricing models will be available to the consumers of real estate services. What is the business model of your real estate practice now and how does it compare to your real estate practice of the future? Moreover, how will technology and the internet shape your model? Whatever that model is, you must stand ready to substantiate it with the value you bring to the table, as a New Real Estate Professional. 

Are you ready for a new real estate industry?

What Da Vinci can teach us about real estate?

 What Da Vinci can teach us about real estate? Being full of ideas and unable to execute them is nothing new - the great artist Leonardo Da Vinci was an expert at it. But it is something many who want to invest in real estate are guilty of today too - it's vital to be curious and masterful of what you want to do but you have to know when to end the curiosity process and act. While we'll never know why Mona Lisa was smiling in her portrait, perhaps it was because she didn't believe that the painting would ever be finished. That's because it was quite common for Leonardo Da Vinci to start a project but not complete it. Today, Da Vinci is regarded as one of the world's most enquiring minds, even though he is mostly remembered for his painting. However, he excelled at distraction - perhaps due to the multitude of inventions floating around inside his brain - which often meant many of his projects became half-finished ideas at best. So, some five centuries on from his de

Why Are You Asking What is My Budget?

Why Are You Asking What is My Budget? Have you ever tried to Rent, Buy or Invest in a property, or called a real estate agent about a listing, and within minutes, they're asking you What is Your Budget? If you haven't heard those words, then you have never tried to rent, buy or invest in a property. Or at least maybe not yet. Wait. It will soon happen. And you're going to feel like it's pushy for them to ask that. It's like a joke. Its like telling someone you want to buy, rent or invest in a property but it's none of their business if you can but won't be a joke anyone would want to laugh at because it's no joking matter. Which doesn't even depend on the personality of the person you're saying this to. If the real estate agent isn't asking because its seems pushy or worried about not wanting to offend you, they should be asking because it's entirely important. It's not about how they ask the question but you have to expect the questi
