April 29th, 2010 - Hello world!
This is my first blog and I think I might like sharing my opinions with the curious. I am constantly amazed at how the real estate market is changing and I am actually worried about what it is going to be like in the future. Obviously I am a little biased. I have been in this industry for 30 years and I have seen many changes. Back in 1987 I started the very first “exclusive buyers Broker” real estate company and I was treated like an outcast by the other real estate agents. I was going to be the ruination of the Industry. Change is hard, lets face it… no one wants to mess with the way things are, unless it is to their direct advantage.
My mission then was to change an industry… In fact when I called the Clark Howard show back in 1987 and explained to Clark the difference between being “sold a house” verus being “represented in the purchase of a house” he actually invited me to do an interview with him on his radio show. Then I was contacted by the Stuart Varney show and found myself on CNN Money Line as a guest talking about the Real Estate Industry and the difference between a buyers agent and a sellers agent and why it was necessary to get your own agent in the real estate transaction.
So I tell you this for one reason only: That was a major change in the real estate industry over the past 30 years and now there is another major change coming. I will talk about it in my next blog.
Till then, Rebecca
