Times have changed so much, the market has changed so much, everything about Real Estate and how we do business has changed so much. Buyers, Sellers they have changed their goals and attitudes, they way they search for properties has change, the way we market and advertise properties has changed. Contracts have changed, we need more addenda by the day. The number of properties you show has gone up verses the sales you make, the number of contracts you write verses the closings you actually have has gone up. The response time buyers and sellers expect to their e mails has become much shorter. The financing situation has changed by 180 degrees. Appraisers have changed their attitude. Realtor work out of their home office not the real estate office anymore. A simple cell phone is not enough, you need an I phone or blackberry. Knowing your market and your neighborhoods is so much more important. I am talking about a time period of 2 or 3 years for all these changes, not 10 or 20 years.
Is anything still the same?
