  The rise of iBuyers in the marketplace is alarming for a lot of agents, but their popularity doesn’t need to spell disaster. What is it about iBuyers that attracts clients, and is it possible for us to work in harmony with the new platforms? How can we stay afloat in the age of technology and internet-based competitors? On this episode, co-owner of Team Stites, David Stites, and CEO of My Rocket Listing, Nick Shivers, share how we can work alongside iBuyers, and even use them to our advantage.   Change is inevitable- accept that iBuyers are here to stay and start looking for the opportunities they present. -Nick Shivers   Three Things We Learned From This Episode Stop thinking it’s all about moneyA lot of agents assume our clients are focused on getting the most money possible. However, that’s not always the case. Other factors, like convenience, are huge factors that our clients take into account. Listen to clients and tailor deals to their needs.  Take advantage of iBuyersiBuyers offer convenience to their customers, but they also offer opportunities to their competitors. Take advantage of the information available on the platforms and educate yourself on what they offer. By knowing more about our competitors, were better able to show our clients why we’re the better option. Don’t fight changeWhile iBuyers are a scary concept, they’re definitely not the first threat to the real estate industry. To stay afloat in the market, we need to be open to adaptation and focus on what we do best. The changes in the industry are chaotic, but there will always be opportunities for us to thrive if we adapt along the way.    iBuyers definitely pose a threat to the real estate industry, but they also present us with opportunities. We need to use the information they share freely to educate ourselves on what they do, and begin strategizing how we can do better. Most importantly, remember that change is inevitable, and i-buyers need not be the enemy.    Guest Bio David Stites is the co-owner of Team Stites.

What are the biggest lessons you can learn from your biggest failures? What is the “sell a home, save a child” initiative? Why is culture fit so important in getting your team dynamic right? On this episode,

Housing inventory is low across the nation. However, some sellers are missing out on the perfect chance to move up into higher price points.I’m coming to you from New York City, where I shot my new commercial with Barbara Corcoran. I got to chat with some of the top agents in the country, and I’m hearing the same thing over and over: there is a lack of inventory in the market.Even here in Kentucky, inventory is low. Remember, housing inventory is measured by the absorption rate. An absorption rate between five and six months is considered a balanced market, while anything over six months is a buyer’s market and anything under five months is a seller’s market. There are seller’s markets popping up all across the country. Just listen to what these top agents had to say: Amanda Howard from Huntsville, Alabama says her market only has 3.5 months of inventory, while Nick Shivers from Portland says that there are only 1.3 months of inventory available across the board. In fact, some neighborhoods in Portland don’t have any inventory at all. John Modine from Dayton, Ohio, says that while the inner city market is still full of foreclosures, homebuyers in the suburbs are fighting through multiple offers and running out of houses to look at.Curtis Johnson from Phoenix says that some areas have almost no inventory, while others still have some. Marti Hampton from North Carolina says that she has definitely seen low inventory up to certain price points in certain areas. Some neighborhoods start to balance out once they are over $400,000, while others have more inventory in the $600,0000 price range. Now is the perfect time to be a move-up buyer.So, why aren’t there enough homes in the $100,000 to $400,000 market? There are a variety of reasons. According to Mark Spain from Atlanta, we went through a period where there was not a lot of new housing stock created because construction costs went up much faster than appreciation. Tiffany Lachnidt from Colorado Springs believes some of the problem is due to a lack of economic confidence. If you are a homeowner in the $100,000 to $400,000 price range, then you really need to listen to Marti Hampton. Marti says that people are simply staying in their homes too long. Right now, sellers in this price range have a great opportunity to sell for top dollar and get a great deal on a home in the $550,000 to $600,000 range.In other words, you have the chance to sell in a seller’s market and buy in a buyer’s market.Now, you can check out the video for a few behind-the-scenes shots of my commercial with Barbara Corcoran. We are glad to be on Barbara’s team, and we would like to be on your team, too. Whether you are looking to buy in a seller’s market or if you plan on moving up to bigger and better things, just give us a call or send us an email. My team and I would be happy to help you!
