Keller Williams Coastal Area Partners

lets agents track their social media efforts and set up touch programs for clients. It will be an extremely robust system to enhance what our agents already do, because everything will be in one place. The majority will be written by Keller Williams programmers for KW agents, it’s all about building agents’ businesses.” Leadership doesn’t compete with agents. In- stead, they collaborate. At KW Coastal Area Part- ners, Brickhouse no longer works with clients. Her mission is to support, coach, and consult with her agents. As for housing stock, Brickhouse reports, “We only have about 2 ½ months of inventory.We actually track three or four local zip codes closely, and inventory is really low. Properties sell quickly – lots of multiple offers – if it’s in good condition and priced right, it’s selling as soon as it comes on the market.” Where does she see the real estate market moving in the near future? “Right now, there’s a frenzy around interest rates potentially rising. The economy is good, so people have money. They’re snatching up everything as quickly as they can. Then you have sellers who don’t want to list their property because, when it sells, where will they go? They’ll have to pay more because housing prices are edging up. It’s a bit of a vicious cycle. Building inventory will soon explode due to the shortage; they’re building as fast as they can to keep up. For us, listings are leverage and getting them is the main priority. If you control the listing inventory, you control the market.” PREFERRED VENDORS n BankSouth Mortgage www.banksouthmortgage.com/ mcaputo n Old Republic Home Protection www.myorhp.com/debbizepp your local Savannah Lender Experience Mortgage Excellence • Calculate & pre-qualify for a mortgage right from your phone • Contact your Mortgage Banker & Realtor all in one place • Your one stop-shop for documents & status updates • Local processing, underwriting & closing Equal Housing Lender.
