After speaking with three renters today that are looking to purchase I added up the money they spent. One lady told me she paid $950 a month for 5 years, that is a total of $57,000 that she will ever see or get a return on.
If you are renting now I would encourage you to take your monthly rent multiply that by 12 then multiply that number by how many years you have been renting and post a gif or emoji in the comments that shows how you feel after seeing your number.
Interest rates are at the lowest point right now than they ave been in years so if you want your money to go towards something you will see a return on let's talk and let me educate you on the home buying benefits and process and see if it is right for you.

When selling a home one of the most common questions is "Do I replace the carpet or just offer a credit so they buyer can choose what they want'?

The answer to this question may surprise you. When I go in for a seller consultation and discover the sellers goals and motivation for selling I always ask and point out to them that they want to sell and be in the best negotiating position as possible.  As a home selling expert my goal is to net the seller the most money therefore before the seller puts the home on the market we analyze their situation and calculate the investment vs the desired outcome of the seller. When the home needs carpet replaced when they buyer comes in to look at the property the focus goes to the dirty, old, run down carpet vs attention on the beautiful home. As you can see the difference in the video below, the seller chose to replace the carpet and you can see it was well worth the investment.

It' 2019 and the majority of people are communicating through text, email and social media. But there is still a large group of consumers that still like to call and personally talk to a salesperson wether it be a Realtor®, Mortgage Professional, Insurance Salesperson or any of the other hundred's of sales professions.  As a consumer and Realtor® I can see both sides of the spectrum, on one hand people are inundated with spam and robo calls daily, but on the other we are still professionals here to do a service for our potential customers as well as or current. So that being said according to a study published by the New York Times in 2017 States that:

• Americans ignore 337 calls a year — including those from partners, coworkers, and even their dear old mom.
• Research detailing the phone usage of 2,000 Americans revealed as many as 61 percent regularly duck calls.
• A telemarketer’s phone call is of course ignored the most, with 77 percent saying they deliberately don’t pick up a sales call.

So with this data and as we can see how many calls are deliberately ignored imagine if you will all those missed opportunities of new business salespeople are missing out on. Especially because if a consumer is looking for a service provider or and item such as a home or mortgage they are usually ready to buy or sell asap and do not have the patience to leave a message and wait for a call back. So that being said the first to answer their phone gets the customer and in turn if they provide a great service the future referrals of that said client. 

How much could you be missing out on each year by not picking up your phone? Well in my personal experience today the customer is relocating with the Military and is looking to purchase a home between $200,000 - $230,000 which translates to $7,000 in potential commissions for me, but most important is I get to serve a family and help them relocate and start their life in a brand new city. 

What could that do to not only your business but your lifestyle by just answering your phone and being proactive?
