Leveraging Social Media and Overcoming Real Estate Challenges

Real(ty) Talk

What do developers, lenders, and Olympians have in common? Find out on our milestone 12th episode of Realty Talks! As we celebrate our new office in La Jolla, housed in a charming historic yogurt stand, we share our exciting adventure to San Diego, where I had the honor of speaking about leveraging social media for podcast distribution. We also reminisce about the thrill of public speaking and the surprising heart rate spikes, much like those experienced by the families of Olympic athletes. Plus, we're bringing frozen yogurt into our office culture—because who said work can't be sweet?
Next, we dive into the labyrinth of city permits and the real estate market's current state. Hear my firsthand account of the grueling process of navigating city inspections for a five-unit development amidst foreclosure, vacant sites, and increased police activity due to homeless break-ins. We tackle the inefficiencies plaguing the permit process and propose fast-tracking permits as a solution that could benefit both developers and cities alike. And with recent interest rate cuts shaking up the market, we discuss the lag in public response and the resulting surge in housing offers.
Lastly, we shine a spotlight on the critical role of media in shaping consumer awareness during election cycles and the pervasive effects of COVID-era low-interest rates on market dynamics. We offer actionable advice for potential buyers, stressing the urgency to act before anticipated rate cuts drive prices skyward. We also share a cautionary tale about the importance of vetting your real estate agent to avoid costly mistakes. From choosing an agent with integrity and local knowledge to understanding the nuances of new buyer representation agreements, we equip you with the tools to navigate your next real estate transaction with confidence. Tune in and elevate your real estate game!
