Fall into Fall: Selling past the summer

Hey, now wait a minute; where did the summer go? Suddenly the sun seems a bit less bright, and the temperatures are not quite as hot. People are coming home from vacation and venturing back into the bounds of reality; exchanging surfboards and swimsuits for keyboards and pantsuits.

So what does all of this mean for you as a real estate agent? Well basically it is time for you to fall into fall; to dive headfirst into a whole new season of selling.

The fall months open up a plethora of sales possibilities for you as a Realtor; and in a multitude of ways. Here are just a few:

1. Selling to snowbirds. As the weather gets cooler, senior citizens who reside in warm weather states like Florida and California tend to ‘migrate’ to the north. These folks, generally referred to as snowbirds, will be looking for a place to stay during their time up north; and whether that place may take the form of a single family home or a condo rental, an apartment or a time share, you as a trained home sales professional can help them find a place to “land and perch.”

2. Selling to students. At the other side of the age scale are college students just returning from what was sure to be a downright riotous summer break; ready once again to resume classes—and, of course, to find a home place that is convenient to their institution of learning. Not every college student has a strong and overwhelming desire to spend their school days in the confines of a cramped dorm; indeed, some may wish to find apartments, cottages, or even small houses to call home while they’re cramming for finals—and you can help!

3. Selling to new ‘lookers.’ As folks switch their brains out of vacation mode and return to the business of serious living, they may find themselves considering the purchase of a new home. You as a trained and skilled real estate professional can lend them a helping hand—along with possibly helping them to find the home of their dreams.

Sure, we all miss the fun and beauty of those ebullient, unforgettable summer months. Yet for you as a Realtor, the balmy, lovely months of autumn can hold a bounty of promise in terms of new and exciting professional opportunities. Don’t be afraid to fall into fall!
