From the Desk of Dan Amdur, CEO, Moving Station/QuickBuy®
Dear Friends, Colleagues and QuickBuy Partner Leadership,
Last month you received the inaugural edition of our monthly newsletter created for brokerage leadership. It was solely dedicated to sharing important information with you from the “just released” iBuyer quarterly reports. Today, I want to take the time to introduce the goal of this monthly communication.
We believe in the value of the real estate agent being front and center within residential real estate transactions. As a partner to you and your agents, we gather and disseminate relevant data, insights, and research, through a unique lens. These insights may prove helpful to each of you managing your vast day-to-day operations. We use this information to better our services and offerings to you and will share news and thoughts on how we can work together to proactively protect our core services, not only to survive but thrive, in the always changing markets. There are well funded disrupters challenging the real estate agent every day; our mission is to keep the agent front and center and drive listings to your door, by offering “home sale solutions for every client situation”.
If you would like to discuss any of the topics covered in these newsletters, or something else you came across and found interesting, or have suggestions on how we can better partner with your firm, please email me directly at damdur@movingstation.com or call me on my direct line at 312-377-3684. I always enjoy the insight and collaboration of our partners.
Thank you.
Dan
Market Uncertainty Demonstrates the Increased Need for QuickBuy® Solutions
The turmoil in the financial market is creating more uncertainty in an already uncertain time. Overall stock market wealth is down double-digits with some stock sectors down over 50%. Inflation is above 8%, with little signs of curtailing, and interest rates look to rise 1%, if not more, over the summer. Companies are letting people go, and even the hot housing market is starting to see some cracks in the armor. Anxiety is high.
On the positive side, as our partner brokerages and agents, you are already prepared better than your competition to help your sellers through these troubling times. This is the perfect time for agents to solidify their role as the local real estate expert they are, providing the solutions sellers need, and the certainty they crave. With homes starting to sit longer, sellers are getting nervous as buyers hesitate due to higher mortgage rates and higher monthly payments and would be sellers are sitting back with a “wait and see” attitude due to market uncertainties. The QuickBuy suite of solutions you offer can help alleviate these hesitations, enabling your sellers to sell now before mortgage interest rates go higher, through either the Immediate Offer or the Lock options. And for those who wish to sell now but aren’t ready to move, the QuickBuy Leaseback option may be just what they need. Options, solutions, and certainty… all from you, their local real estate experts.
Important and Timely Updates to confidential QuickBuy® ShareFile Documents
We have updated the link to the QuickBuy ShareFile account, which houses the operational and marketing documents your brokerage is entitled to as a licensee.
Please delete the current link you are using, or remove it from your browser, and replace it with this new ShareFile Access link. Reminder that the information included in the Sharefile folders is for brokerage leadership only, not for agents. Agents will receive property specific forms, documents, and information as needed to communicate with or support sellers.
Additionally, we added the following new files to the MARKETING folder
A video to share with agents to help encourage them to become QuickBuy certified
New short, launch power point, which may be helpful for new agent training
Thumbnails of the new, simplified marketing pieces so agents can promote their Immediate Offer Solutions.
Again, starting immediately you will only be able to access QuickBuy Sharefiles at this new ShareFile Access link. Thank you, and contact QuickBuy@MovingStation.com with questions.
