Why is Opportunity so Important in Real Estate?

Real Estate is a long term investment and with something that is long term, you want to make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into. In the last article I spoke about preparedness whether you intend on buying or selling property or if you are a Property Practitioner in the industry itself; when you prepare yourself, you are ensuring that you know what you are getting yourself into.

The beautiful thing about property as a buyer is that, you decide why you are buying. You decide whether to invest or do business or to reside in the property.

The beautiful thing about property as a seller is that, your reasons for selling are countless. For example, you may be deciding to go bigger; you may be relocating or kids may be leaving for University and now you are downscaling, etc…

In both these instances, your eye for an opportunity to seize will be determined by where you are and where you want to see yourself. So what is an opportunity in real estate…?

An opportunity in Real Estate is that moment that speaks to your need! Whether that moment is interest rates going down or house prices going down or a shifting market you must grab that opportunity and run with it; so you must pay attention. An opportunity in real estate comes to those who actively look for it. With this said, be found amongst those who look back and are glad they seized the moments, those that are glad that they took the opportunities…BUT above all, be found amongst those who realise that using a Century 21 Agent is an opportunity in itself and one not to be missed.
