info_outlineWe have just released an amazing episode that will make you understand the real value of having a great strategy in place when buying or selling a property.
Our guest speaker, Anna Pavuhovich, shared her personal experience of challenging financial times during her divorce and how it made her realize the importance of understanding one’s finances. Her success in selling lots gave her the ability to create a successful company that helps people buy houses for various reasons, including divorce, downsizing, or upsizing.
We learned that the company has a very effective process in place to make the house-buying experience easier for clients. They ensure transparency and reduce uncertainty by providing clients with all the necessary steps, credentials, and upfront information. Additionally, they seek to communicate clearly with clients and check for their understanding through phone conversations.
The speaker's company is often referred to handle divorce cases by divorce attorneys, as they understand the emotional turmoil divorce brings, having gone through it before. They had a special case with a contentious divorce filled with angry emotions, but the company managed to help both individuals find their new homes, expressing gratitude for the kindness and help given during their time of need.
Additionally, the episode features Anna and her daughter who are actively contributing to helping people find homes. They have saved significant amounts of money for buyers by switching from renting to owning, and they work together as a family, which makes it a lot of fun for them.
We learned that housing prices have gone up by about 5 to 7% over the last year, and with such low inventory in the market, more sizing price-wise is expected to happen. However, homeowners will not lose 20% of the value of their homes. The multiple offers on properties are happening more frequently than before, with offers 25 to 30,000 over asking price depending on the home price.
The speaker's main takeaway is that the key to success is coaching and surrounding oneself with the right people. With her team and coaches, she spends a lot of money on education and coaching to ensure they are going in the right direction. The speaker recognizes that the burden of running a business and making payroll is significant, and they need help from others to do it effectively.
