The Balancing Act in Lifetime Television Reveals Why Real Estate Agents Still Matter

Calhoun, Georgia (Grassroots Newswire) August 18, 2009 -- Even though the economy has been in a slump, savvy investors are still pursuing the "American Dream" of homeownership and that still makes the role of the real estate agent a very relevant one. To better understand the opportunities in this field and how real estate agents play an invaluable role in the process, The Balancing Act welcomed Tami Bonnell, President of the U.S. Organizaton of EXITRealty Corp International. The segment aired Thursday, August 13th, 2009.

"We hear all the news reports about the housing slump" says Bonnell. "But there are still millions of people who are buying homes this year." According to research by Marissa Miley, a reporter at Advertising Age, despite record foreclosure rates and depressed home sale prices, the real-estate industry anticipates selling 5.3 million homes this year, many to first-time home buyers. And while computers have aided in the search and sale of one's abode, real estate is still all about the personal connection and that's why so many men and women are excelling in this field. "A good REALTOR really is a partner in the process," explains Bonnell. "You need to listen, really hear your client's story and be a smart detective. Understand the why for the consumer." she said. Consumers can find facts on a computer buy only a real estate agent can offer the insights, advice, marketing tips and negotiation options that make a home sale or purchase a smooth and easy transaction.
