Announcing the opening of RE/MAX Property Concierge serving Pasadena, South Pasadena, Altadena and surrounding areas.

Over the last several years what do you think has been the single most important factor affecting the real estate market?

Was it record low interest rates, the ease and availability in which people could obtain a mortgage, sky rocketing home values, or the federal reserve’s monetary policy?

All of the above attributed to the run in the housing market, however the internet could have been the spark which lit the fire.

The internet has had a revolutionary affect on the way consumers buy and sell real estate. Aside from the travel industry, (spoke to a travel agent recently?) profound changes increased the transparency of the real estate process giving consumers new freedoms in which to research and choose their next home, neighborhood, broker and real state agent.

The industry benefits have also been numerous. People in the industry have tapped the power of the internet enhancing its visibility and awareness along with promoting themselves and the properties they have for sale.

The last 10 years in this industry has seen some amazing changes, so the question becomes:

The Future of the Real Estate Industry

What is the future of the industry? This along with many other questions were things we considered prior to joining RE/MAX.

There are many companies that offer career opportunities to individuals looking to enter or enhance their career skills. After looking at the options, RE/MAX was he best option for us. RE/MAX has incredible brand recognition which has been built on a track record of success over the last 35 years. In an industry which has seen many consolidations and closings, the RE/MAX brand has continued to prosper and the RE/MAX balloon is one of the most recognizable icons in American culture.

RE/MAX has a strong management team committed to the success of its agents and to the prosperity of the industry. They are continually at the forefront of issues impacting today’s homeowners and have been diligently working with government agencies to address these concerns.

Real Estate Agents have many opportunities to expand and continue their education while joining an exclusive club of agent productivity. RE/MAX also has a strong history of charitable giving. Their involvement with Children’s Miracle Network, the Susan G. Komen foundation and the support of Operation RE/MAX which serves spouses of military personnel is proof positive to their community commitment and involvement.

If you plan to buy or sell a home, we would appreciate having the opportunity to explain the advantages RE/MAX has to offer. If you are a real estate agent we would welcome the opportunity to discuss the benefits of joining the RE/MAX family. We can be reached at 626-432-4615.
