They were hosted by Haute Living's Erik Haase. Watch the full webinar below.

Highlight quotes:

Georgina Jacobson: "Things are slowly opening up. Gyms are open, nail salons, and restaurants for outdoor dining, so we're feeling a little bit more of a sense of normalcy. With that said, we are seeing real estate is definitely very active. If I look at January last year 2020 and compare it to this year, we have a decrease in listings down by 38% which is kind of interesting, but the sales volume comparing that same time is only down by 3%. So the market is very active. We really have adjusted and pivoted to all of the proper protocols. I feel like our business is a lot more efficient because we're pre-qualifying people and really doing a lot of virtual open houses, instead of the traditional open houses."

Catherine Burgess: "To me, it seems like we will have a moderate moderate increase in sales possibly, but we will continue to maybe have this by greater buyer demand that could create appreciation, not just this year, but maybe next year as well. It appears to me like this, for us locally, appears to be the best seller's market in the last 20-25 years. The general inkling that we are seeing is that by the midpoint in the year there will be an increase in supply, and so, if it's possible for them to get to the market where there's this massive pent-up buyer demand right now, that makes a lot of sense. They will get so many more eyes on their property, which is not to say it won't sell later, but I don't know that we will have the same amount of demand that we have currently."

Kelly Ringer-Radetich: "Just in Redwood City, we only have 37 homes on the market [as of today]. Inventory is very tight. Things are moving and they're moving quickly. I also represent sellers, as well as listings, and I wrote an offer for a couple two weeks ago, and there were 27 offers on one property. You have one buyer take that home, you still 26 others still looking for a place, so that's where our challenges right now, definitely on the inventory and availability. It's very common to start seeing more come on to the market right after Super Bowl weekend. We are seeing a little bit, but we have more demand from the buyers right now, and I'm sure a lot of that is because our interest rates have continued to remain very low. Over the last year, if people weren't shopping, they were obviously saving because they were locked up somewhere, so they weren't out and about with vacations and wining and dining. So I think a lot of them have just decided to invest and real estate is where they're turning."

David Hatef: "Inventory is actually pretty comparable to where it was in January 2020. Properties between $1-2.5 million in DC Proper, new pending contracts are up 43% from January 2020, whereas the bucket of $2.5-5 million is up 80% from January 2020. Even though inventory is fairly comparable to the same time last year, there's just such an incredible demand, and you can see it in the prices as well prices are beginning to escalate pretty rapidly, it's definitely having an impact. Particularly in the detached house market, there are multiple offers on basically anything that comes up. Things are moving within three-to-four days; 60-70 showings within a few days is pretty standard around. "

Here are seven reasons why leaving it to the pros far outweighs doing a "For sale by owner" real estate transaction, featuring members of the exclusive Haute Residence Network of top real estate professionals.

Online Marketing

"Statistics show that real estate brokers are selling for 32% more. And it is not that homeowners who sell their homes themselves sell them for less money, it is that homeowners who sell less expensive homes, mobile homes, and condos in rural areas are more likely to choose to sell their homes themselves. In NYC, the majority of homeowners are far better off using a real estate broker to help them sell their homes and to get the best price. Brokers have various tools and staging ways to market property online and to bring maximum exposure to a listing. In today’s market, the buyer makes the decision to buy before visiting a property and the broker is the one who makes that magic of online marketing." - Elliot Bogod, Upper West Side, New York City, NY.

The Right Pricing

"Working with an agent gives homeowners the advantage of intelligent pricing, negotiation skills, and broader exposure to sell their home quicker and for more money."  - Nilou Henderson, Charlotte, NC.

Negotiation

"A good real estate agent will get you top dollar for your home through skilled negotiation and with the maximum exposure in marketing the home." - Georgina Jacobson, Newport Beach, CA.

Knowledge of the Market

"Hiring a real estate broker gives you a professional partner who possesses unrivaled market expertise that can help you achieve top dollar for your home." - Jenny Lenz, Upper East Side, New York City, NY.

Homeowners Can Be Their Own Obstacle

"It's hard for sellers to represent themselves, especially to prospective buyers, simply because they cannot remove themselves, or their emotions, from the potential deal.  As a party to the contract, emotions can run high, which can complicate any deal, especially when working on something so personal." - Alex Min, Lake Tahoe, NV.

Its Importance Cannot Be Overstated

"Selling your home will likely be one of the biggest transactions of your life. Real estate agents get broader exposure for your property, negotiate a better deal, and are experts at managing expectations." - Kathryn Shafer, Beverly Hills P.O., CA.

The Many Details a Real Estate Sale Includes

"People are emotional and overvalue their homes.  A local Realtor® helps you price it right, market, negotiate, and maximize results." - Curtis J. Wright, Essex and Morris counties, NJ.

Georgina Jacobson presents

Traditional estate on an impressive corner lot within the prestigious guarded-gates of Big Canyon. Tucked behind a private gate and mature landscaping offering utmost privacy, this stately custom home offers almost 8,000 square feet of living space, 6 bedrooms, 7 full baths and 2 half baths. The grounds were made for entertaining with a pool house, pool and spa, built-in fire pit and bench seating, outdoor kitchen and loggia with TV, ceiling heaters and surround sound. The sprawling home was meticulously built in 2009 with luxurious finishes, classic wainscoting, stone and hardwood flooring, Lutron lighting and custom french doors throughout. A large great room with marble fireplace and built-in cabinetry opens up to the gourmet's kitchen with custom cabinetry, center island, top-of-the-line appliances, walk-in pantry and kitchen nook. An oversized dining room and formal living room with fireplace lead out to serene patios with lush landscaping and a fountain. Additionally the home features a library or office with fireplace, two laundry rooms and a second great room upstairs. This is a one-of-a-kind home not to be missed!
