Local Realtor: What Makes a Realtor Truly ‘Local’?
Not every realtor living in your area has an understanding of the local markets. In fact, since COVID there has been such an increase in licensed realtors in South Alabama that a great sum of all realtors is now new with little real experience. Among these new realtors, how many know how to understand local market trends?
National Trends Only Matter So Much
When national reports point to housing crises in California and market bubbles based on data in New York, is this indicative at all of what's happening in Mobile and Baldwin County? Sometimes, but certainly not by default.
A local realtor understands that the national housing crises or booms may not localize in our area. Local industry, home availability, localized inflation, and other factors dramatically impact our buyer's pool, housing inventory, and the urgency with which people need to buy or sell. These factors are critical to understand when considering what to offer or what to list your home for. It's just not as simple as looking on Zillow and finding something pretty. At least, it isn't that simple if you want to guarantee a smart purchase.
