These days everyone is obsessed with data. Facts. Figures. Percentages. Averages. Medians. Most real estate reports report on data on closed sales that often were contractually negotiated many weeks or months prior to a closing. That kind of data is rather stale in fast-changing markets. Most data we hear or read about is not very reflective of current market conditions. Consumers who rely on media headlines alone are certain to be at a decision-making disadvantage. In this lies one of the greatest value-adds of a professional real estate advisor who is completely immersed in the markets, actively engaged daily in what is selling/being signed for what, number of attendees at open houses, number of bidders, number of showings, etc. The “boots-on-the-ground” real-time data points that while maybe not 100% accurate, sorted and prettied up for mass consumption, probably provides a more accurate, clear picture of current market conditions. This is the kind of data and insight that is non-Google-able. And just another reason why a professional agent is invaluable to the consumer in helping them navigate the complex, nuanced, hyper-localized waters of real estate. We have over 37 years of local real estate expertise negotiating over one thousand successful real estate transactions on behalf of our cherished clients.
