Customer Service And A Shifting Market

Welcome to Mike Ferry TV. Tony Smith here, Vice President of The Mike Ferry Organization. We are here on the week of July 4th. Happy second half of 2022.

You know, a cooling down, a little normalization, you know, getting out of the crazy frenzy and maybe turning into an actual market cycle, which it looks like it's stacking up to be.

The Five Points To Help You Take More Listings

Welcome to another edition of Mike Ferry TV. My name is John Joseph, a Coach for The Mike Ferry Organization. Today we're going to discuss The Five Points to Help You Take More Listings in today's market. Now, as the market transitions back to a normal market, (1) you will need to have a larger inventory that is continually rotating through your business. Now, why is that important? Well, with fewer Buyers in the marketplace, you will need to have a larger inventory for them to choose from. Think of it like this.

Where Is The Market Going?

Where Is the Housing Market Going? Welcome and good morning to Mike Ferry TV, the week of May 23rd. Just saying May 23rd out loud is surprising because boy has the first part of this year sailed by quickly with a very fast paced and exciting Real Estate market that is changing every day as we speak. And with anything else in life and business, we're involved in a little change and a little downward trending cycle that's being predicted by everybody.

So, the fact is the gap is...
