Real estate agents stuck in analysis paralysis should set a 7-15 minute timer, then call past clients or schedule open houses. Interest rates just dipped below 6% and buyers are returning nationwide after a seasonal slowdown. The window for a strong year is open now.
Set a timer for yourself, right? If I'm worried about this for more than 7 minutes, then I grab this thing and I call a past client. Like if you feel yourself spending more than 10 or 15 minutes on what's AI gonna mean, what's the future of NAR, is Zillow gonna start a broker? Yeah, pick up the phone. Pick up the phone, call a past client, go schedule yourself an open house, go do something that will get you moving in the direction that's actually gonna help your life, right? We always hear fight or flight. We, but we forget freeze, right? That's the other one. There's fight, flight, or freeze. More people freeze than the other two actually. So I feel a lot of the industry is freezing right now at the absolute worst possible time. Like now is the, the market's starting to thaw out. Rates are, you know, we get, we dip below 6% and it looks like they might stay there a little while. I'm hearing anecdotally buyers are coming back into the marketplace across the country. Purchase applications are up. Yes, we had a, a dip last month because of seasonality and big snowstorm and a whole bunch of other stuff, right? But buyers are coming back. There is an opportunity to have a great year. And if you're sitting there watching the Titanic sink instead of helping people get on lifeboats, you're probably missing out.
