I found a home to show you!…..how showing homes has changed in this market
It wasn’t long ago that a client wanting to look at homes in the South Bay often meant a day long journey of looking at the abundance of available homes and trying to narrow down which one had the fewest objections to the buyer. As there were so many homes on the market, and every day meant new options, buyers could lose interest over the smallest details.
My how things have changed. Now when a client calls to say they want to look at all of the homes in their price range there are few, if any to see. The excitement comes now when you can say, “I found one!” and you actually have a home to show. It’s certainly never a dull moment in real estate and maybe someday there will be a more balanced market…I’ve been told they once existed.

Realtors and why, If done with the right motives, it’s so rewarding. In the stresses of an escrow, or in the challenges of a day of showing houses, it’s easy to lose sight of what selling a home can mean and for many it’s just another “deal”. But that’s not at all what this is about. I work with many first time home buyers and it is no exaggeration to think that this decision that I’m helping them make is nothing short of life altering. The home someone chooses is more than just granite counters, 2.5 bathrooms, corner lot, fixer or turn key….it is choosing a neighborhood, choosing neighbors, choosing schools, and even choosing a lifestyle. It’s about people…the people the home buyer doesn’t even know yet that may end up being friends for life.
