That's right, we said it, the words beauty and real estate in the same sentence. For many, the words real estate and beauty are mutually exclusive. Thoughts of stress, stories of rogue real estate agents, P contaminated houses etc, can add up to cold sweat and raised blood pressure for some.
But believe it or not, there are far more good moments than bad in real estate, in fact there really are some beautiful moments in the real estate business.
You might think it's easy for a real estate company to be feeling buoyant after a few years of amazing market conditions. In fact this has continued right into 2017. Even with recently released REINZ stats showing the number of properties sold in New Zealand fell by 20% or some 1,472 homes, our region has remained a diamond in the rough with only seven less houses sold in August compared to last year. Yet again, this reflects just how fortunate we are to live in this location, where we continue to enjoy improved business confidence, low unemployment and a strong and growing community.
But, let's put those numbers aside for a moment, as this piece isn't about healthy data and business success.
Ultimately, our business is all about people. Whether that's our team of salespeople, our community or helping people find their first or dream home. It's about helping people take their next step on the property ladder and achieving their property goals and dreams.
