Urban Living has arrived!

Coldwell Banker NRT Development Advisors (NRTDA) Urban Living team continues to be dedicated to helping consumers in search of a city dwelling at their Midtown office, located at 900 Peachtree Street.

“Whether our clients are buying, selling or leasing a luxury high-rise, condominium, loft, townhome or urban bungalow, our  sales specialists will guide them to discover the urban lifestyle that suits their needs,” says Brad Horner, president of NRT Development Advisors. He adds, “They are knowledgeable about local market conditions, pricing strategies, activity levels, trends and are up-to-date on rental properties and availability.” 

A recent Coldwell Banker survey showed that 78 percent of the company’s sales associates reported an increased interest in urban living due to higher fuel costs. Long and expensive commutes are out as homeowners are increasingly looking for a residence that affords them the opportunity to walk or take public transportation to work, shops and entertainment venues.

Although singles and young professionals make up a majority of those flocking to urban areas, other demographic groups including retirees and families with children are also realizing the benefits of city living. Many find that they have more leisure time since yardwork and outdoor chores are no longer required, and many popular restaurants are within walking distance, eliminating the need to spend hours in the kitchen. Other added benefits include close proximity to top-ranked health care facilities, schools and universities.    

“Urbanization is becoming the decade’s megatrend ” says Horner. He adds, “This is a highly distinctive segment of the market and we recognize that today’s generation of urban dwellers requires different services spoken in a unique voice.”

Agents Procative to Make Sales Happen at NRTDA!

It’s hard to believe, but there are only 55 days left in 2011!  With November sales off to a great start, NRT Development Advisor’s sales agents are using these 55 days to maximize their sales success story for 2011 and ride into 2012 on a wave of positive momentum.

We think we are in for a different fall and winter than what the real estate market typically experiences, due to reduced levels of customer traffic and, therefore, decreased sales activity.   Lawrence Yun,  NAR chief economist, said the market has been stable although at low levels, and there is plenty of room for improvement. “Affordability conditions have improved to historic highs and more creditworthy borrowers are trying to purchase homes. The volume of successful buyers is higher than a year ago and is remaining fairly stable – this speaks to an unfulfilled demand.” We are feeling this positive trend!

NRT Development Advisors’ agents are busy setting personal sales goal for the remaining 55 days of 2011, and we’re ready to enlist all necessary resources to help get them there. They are diligently:

 •    Revisiting their existing customer databases and setting daily outreach goals to encourage past prospects to rediscover the communities that the agents represent. 

•    Calling the top 20 coop agents who have sold at their communities and providing them with an update on sales, commission schedules and any new incentives, as well as inquiring about the buyers with whom they are currently working. 

•    Making sure that each prospect has a distinct action and follow up plan.

•    Networking with fellow NRT Development Advisors and Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage colleagues and requesting that they refer prospects to your community, when appropriate.

•     Reanalyzing if their community’s pricing product, and positioning are competitive within the market. 

There are plenty of buyers out there looking to find a NEW home for the holidays.  Our agents are staying proactive and ahead of the market, ensuring that the last 55 days of the year are the most productive yet.
