Hi everyone and welcome to this week’s Zebra Report. I thought it was really important that I address all of the headlines that are out there. You cannot look online. You cannot look in your email. You are probably getting text messages out there about the real estate market.

Q: “Denise, I had a really odd thing happen yesterday that I can’t stop thinking about and am wondering how I should move forward. I have been working for about two months with my sellers, helping them get their home ready to go on the market in the next three weeks. Although we don’t have a signed listing agreement as we weren’t sure about the target list date due to COVID, we have discussed listing strategy and timing, we have talked about how showings are handled, how I will be handling open houses virtually, and most importantly, I have also been helping them coordinate work being done on their house, making recommendations for vendors.

Q: “Denise, I have been working with a buyer couple during COVID. In our area, we have a rule that only myself and one other person can be viewing a home at one time. The other person has to stay in the car. However, the husband has been sneaking in when I am touring with the wife! I’ll turn a corner and out he pops! I have jokingly asked him to “get outta here!” as I am trying to keep it light, but the other day marked the 3rd time it has happened, so he clearly isn’t taking me seriously. How do I address this without treating him like a child?” Read more »

Hi everyone. Welcome to this week’s edition of the Zebra Report. Today, I wanted to talk about niche markets. A niche market is defined as a smaller part of a larger market with its own defined area of specialization.
The perfect example of a niche market in real estate is waterfront property. I happen to live on a lake and I have learned a thing or two about lake front living that I had no idea about before I became a lakefront property owner. I’ve now been here for over 14 years and in that entire time period I would say I have probably received maybe half a dozen pieces of really good marketing information from a real estate agent stating that she knew a little bit about lakefront properties.

The starting point: Susan is a historic homes specialist and enthusiast, as well as a senior downsizing specialist. Her passion for historic homes has resulted in her not only painstakingly restoring numerous historic homes, but researching and archiving Seattle-area properties designed by her great-great uncle almost 100 years ago.
The target audience: Her dedication for going the extra mile with helping seniors make the transition from their longtime homes to their next chapter in their lives is remarkable. She wanted to refresh her existing brand so it would appeal to clients that like preserving architectural heritage or need to find a the right fit for their older home. Read more »
Q: “Denise, I have a new listing and want to do a Virtual Open House. I would usually do a regular open house Sunday afternoon, but wonder if that is the best day and time if we aren’t doing a live open house. What do you think is the most opportune day and time?”
A: You are on the right track in thinking this may need to be at a different day and time than what you usually do. Read more »
