Seems like almost yesterday that I started writing about tips and advice for First Time Home Buyers in MN. Well, here we are today and if you’re reading this, then there are 99 prior articles at your disposal to help educate you on the home buying process and programs for first time buyers.
As I write this blog post, I am reminded why I started this blog.
The Real Estate Business is a funny game. As an agent, we are taught to be both savvy business-people and also representatives of our clients’ best interests. It’s a hard juggling act sometimes, and more often than not the business side wins, and the counselor side loses.
An example would be that Agents are only worried about making more money, and not concerned with really helping their buyers and seller. This can be seen when an agent just goes after the highest price listings or buyers in order to make more money without having to work as much.
Part of my personality is to be true to myself and not let people down. Because of this, I have taken it upon myself to try and really educate as many new buyers as I can – regardless of whether they end up working with me or not. My reasoning is that the smarter people are about their real estate purchases, the more likely we are to climb out of this housing market abyss that has been created by a lot of misinformed people in the past.
So, by writing about my experiences several times a week and trying to make people more informed, I feel that I am both helping my business grow and more importantly helping the public learn about the real estate market.
It’s also worthy of note that most people who begin blogging only last a few weeks, or post so seldom that their websites never really gain any readership or credibility. With your help and comments I’ve been able to stay afloat for this long, and I don’t think things will be slowing down anytime soon.
With the $8,000 Tax Credit and lower interest rates still enticing buyers to start the process, I feel pretty confident that we will see a stabilization in the Twin Cities housing market this year, and continue to make our way towards a future appreciating market in 2010 and beyond.
Thanks for reading. And please leave a comment or question on any article you find interesting.
