DESCRIPTION:

Jeremy Larkin shares insights from his recent wedding and how they parallel the real estate buying and selling process. The real estate market continues to move steadily despite misconceptions that activity has stalled due to higher interest rates and price concerns.

• Delisting's are at an all-time high as sellers refuse to accept current market realities

• People mistakenly believe no one is buying when in fact 90 homes went under contract in the last week

• Waiting for interest rates to drop is not a strategy, especially when life circumstances require a move

• A property is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay, regardless of appraisals or estimations

• The Larkin Group has closed approximately 115 transactions this year alone

• Five wedding lessons applicable to real estate: don't wish away the process, expect resistance, difficulty doesn't mean it's wrong, painful processes can be bonding, and good decisions are worth it in the end
