Impact of the Web: July 2008 Archives

Know your value. Because when you peel back all the hype and really understand today's consumer, what they really want is real estate choice, not real estate cheap.

Recently on the ACRE® Coaching Exchange, our coaching platform for ACRE® graduates, we had a very interesting discussion about where our value today lies as agents. It seems that in the tough market that we are working in, many agents are competing for listings by charging less than the competition and requiring less commitment in the way of an exclusive agency contracts with buyers.

This is so sad because you can never compete on price and stay in business. No matter how low you go, there will always be some desperate soul who will charge less. And when you don't require a commitment from those you work with, you only underscore that your time, experience, and expertise has no value.
