THOUGHTS FROM MY CAR: Recent Episodes
Patrick Brusil
What’s happening in and around the Boston Real Estate Market, business advice, take aways from my experiences, and anything else I’m thinking of. And it’s all from the seat of my car.
Not worth it. Listen to hear my take on why a buyer shouldn’t waive an inspection contingency.
Are you actually being transparent when you’re claiming you “sold” a home in 3 days? And what message is this sending to potential sellers?
What’s the death of any organization or business . . . . . It’s the “someone” syndrome.
Are you someone that runs a calendar like a to-do list and constantly keep reacting to everything OR do you use it to be in control of your life and business?
In the current market it’s super critical to have the right agent representing you on a purchase. Opening the fucking door isn’t good enough.
A huge pitfall in the real estate industry is that we convince ourselves we need to have all the answers.
Jack O’Donohue got me thinking about where am I taking risks in social media. A shout out to Larin Automotive too.
Some people think it’s a 6 month process . . . . . In reality the actually transaction is much less.
Thinking hitting send on an email that contains an offer on a property is good enough. Wrong!
Had an awesome Lunch with my with along Melissa and Nick Weinand from Williams Raveis. One of the things we talked about was the education of practitioners within our industry. These are a few very brief thoughts of mine that came out of our time together.
This may sound stupid to many of you but if you’re writing an offer out your freaking contact information on the offer to purchase.
All too often, especially with Condo purchases, people are leaving themselves too exposed to risk.
Buying a home in Massachusetts? buying a home in the Greater Boston area? It’s critical to be available and be flexible as much as possible when new homes come on the market.
Once in a while people ask me what they should wear to see property. And it’s not a bad question (none are). My wife makes a guest spot and drops her take on this topic.
Are you a business owner? If you’re a real estate agent you are (even if you work for a Broker). The truth is, any small business owner needs to be constantly on the search for talent and probably change how they approach it too.
Are you a real estate agent? This one is for you. I discuss one of the high level take away from Keller Williams Family Reunion 2018. There is no hiding from the work. What’s the work? What’s the distractions? Listen in.
It’s easy as a new agent, or even an experienced one, to get caught up in what others are doing. The fact is you can’t judge what other agents are posting online as a reflection of their production or success. Don’t get caught up comparing yourself to someone else. Be the best version of you each day and be a little better than the day before.
Thinking that you might go in below what you’re willing to pay because there will be a “best and final” situation? I’m here to tell you to rethink this so you don’t get burned.
Trying to come in low with the assumption a seller will come back and ask for “best and final”. I’ve seen people get burned by this.
If you like a property it’s 100% worth writing the offer up. Don’t get discouraged by throngs of people at open houses.
So you want to know the best time to buy or sell? On a micro level these are my thoughts.
Part 1 in a series of what to ask when you’re interviewing agents to list your property.
Why would a buyer need an agent in the current age we are in. Buyers can find homes by themselves and your through them with ease.
Everyone thinks homes sell in a matter of days. While it’s a sellers market not everyone home flies off the shelf and many never sell. So what’s wrong with those homes? Usually, it’s just price.
