EXIT Realty Consultants Participates in 2022 C.A.R. REImagine CONFERENCE

Turlock, CA (Grassroots Newswire) 11/11/2022 -- After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID pandemic, thousands of California real estate agents recently converged at the Long Beach Convention Center for the California Association of Realtors®(C.A.R.) 2022 REimagine Real Estate Conference.

The three-day event consisted of education, training, updates, networking, exhibitors and a little fun for California Realtors® and featured keynote speakers like legendary real estate coach Tom Ferry. Ferry, founder and CEO of Ferry International, shared his ultimate success formula to out-position the competition and make 2023 the most successful year for real estate practitioners.

C.A.R. Chief Economist Jordan Levine also gave a forecast of the 2023 housing market and insight into today’s pressing housing issues that may impact buyers and sellers. Other speakers for the event also included top company executives, social media and marketing experts, successful practitioners, industry leaders and innovators.

Local Realtor®, Clarissa Azevedo, of EXIT Realty Consultants in Turlock, was invited as a break-out session panelist to discuss today’s shifting housing market. Azevedo joined other veteran top producers – Sofia Chacon, Operating Principle at Keller Williams Realty The Lakes; Matt Ogden, Compass; and Eric Johnson, a Realtor ® at Sotheby’s International Realty San Francisco – all of who’ve been able to do just that, learning actionable strategies to keep their business resilient no matter what’s happening with the market. The session was moderated by Jennifer Branchini, C.A.R.President-elect.

“The market is always going to change. It’s always going to go up or down, it is what it is and it’s never going to be perfect,” Azevedo shared with an audience of over 400 attendees. She stressed the importance of putting the relationship with her clients first by staying in contact and educating them during any market.

As the market shifts from the chaotic seller’s market of 2020 and 2021, when buyers were seen paying up to $80,000 over ask price, to a neutral market, Azevedo is advising buyers that sellers may now offer concessions to help with buyer closing costs or to help buy down their rate.

“I also show my sellers, who think it’s still a seller’s market, what buyers are going to have to pay in mortgage today with higher interest rates. They typically gasp when they see the price. Then I say, 'Now put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. Would you pay that for this house?' Often it brings them to a reality that they may be overpriced,” said Azevedo.

“It was a great CAR Conference and Expo,” said Robby Sra, Azevedo’s colleague. “I came back with amazing information obtained from expert panelists, learned about the market forecast from industry leaders and established new networking connections. With all that’s going on in our industry and economy, this was an event that couldn’t be missed as we prepare to enter 2023. I’m glad I was able to attend and come back with positive energy to finish off 2022.”

A major sponsor for this year’s conference, EXIT Realty Corp. International, was excited to also have Co-Chair/CEO Tami Bonnell as a speaker.
