E81-S5 6-7 Needs-Wants trending now on REAL Siblings, It Ain't Easy

About this episode

The episode discusses the balance between clients' needs and wants in real estate, reflecting on the hosts' childhood experiences.

Six-Seven. 6-7, Six/Seven. As real estate professionals we have to juggle (or balance) Needs-Wants for buyers and seller clients all the time. So what is a NEED and what is a WANT? That depends on each client (single or multiple). What they need maybe lots of counter space in their kitchen. What they want is granite. Or, maybe quartz. Possbily marble. No one asks for laminate or what was commonly called by the brand name Formica (first introduced as an electrical insulation product in 1913). Hopping on the 6/7 trend and how that easily translates to Needs/Wants. Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage. They are also siblings, and they grew up in a small Northwest Ohio village of Lindsey. Their idyllic small-town childhood laid the foundation for what would become the structure of their lives and careers in real estate. We hope you will join us as we reminisce, reflect, and correlate how our childhood and life in rural Ohio still impacts our dealings with our clients today. Website…
