It's hard to believe that the NAR conference is just around the corner already, but it is.The NAR 2008 Realtors Conference & Expo will be held in Orlando Nov. 7-10--two weeks from Thursday. Delta Media Group will again have a large booth at the conference, from which they will be unveiling some exciting new things I can't discuss just yet.
Given the current economic and housing uncertainties, some in real estate will look to wait things out while others will be looking to position their company and their agents to take advantage of the market as it turns.
Economists project the housing marketing is already turning. Brokers around the country have expressed to me that sales and interest are improving. The market is getting better, and Delta Media Group customers are seeing that, because having the top technology in ones respective market and energizing/exciting agents are two of the top things you can do to help your brokerage take strides when faced with a less than perfect market.
Agent levels may have bottomed out. The market of 2005 brought tons of new agents into real estate. The markets of 2006-7 weeded those out that should not have been in real estate, but were only riding the wave.
Less agents mean more inventory for those remaining, giving the agents that waited out the storm a head start for production.
This year's NAR conference may be the first in the positive turn in the housing market. If you'll be attending, make sure to stop by Delta Media Group's booth to view some of the latest advancements in real estate technology--those that the top brokerages and agents will use to carry themselves through the weaker real estate markets and into the improving ones.
