Some may tend to believe that Real Estate talk means only short sales, buyers, sellers, loans and so forth. I'm a Real Estate Industry Professional but I'm darn sure human. And that means I can adjust my thinking and my attitude to any market, conversation, challenge because I AM a chameleon.
Being a chameleon means I can adapt to my surroundings.
Regardless of where I am ....when it comes to ‘All Things Real Estate'..... I can take into consideration what real estate means at any given place and time. While blogging on ActiveRain, I grasped the concept that ‘All Things Real Estate' meant to write about ‘All Things Real Estate' too.
Open your mind to the possibilities of what "All Things Real Estate" really means.
My Local Area: No matter what branch of the Real Estate Industry we are directly connected with our communities, counties and state and everything happening in our area. We have to have knowledge about the businesses, events, history, neighborhoods and more. We need to know where to direct the consumer when they want to know where the elementary school is in conjunction with the geographical location of the home they're thinking of purchasing. What about the local restaurants and the gym?
Yes, it's a lot of work to research and write about our local area but in the end.....
I AM THE AREA EXPERT.
I opened my mind to grasp the concept that ‘All Things Real Estate' went beyond the scope of just Real Estate knowledge. It meant that I had to know more about everything and anything in my area. It meant that I needed to get more educated on not just Real Estate...but my local area of expertise.
Are you adapting like a chameleon with "All Things Real Estate"?
Are you the LOCAL EXPERT?

Hawaii looks beautiful on your video, sure would love to visit someday.
Hi Sally...Your video captures much of what we all love about Hawaii.
Real estate is ever changing and so must we. Thta's also what makes it so interesting. And, yes, I enjoy learning so that I am a local expert.
Kate
Marjorie...it's called a vacation :)
Kate: I have that one on my website. :) Exactly...ever changing in an ever changing market. :)
Sally, I so agree with your definition of All Things Real Estate. When a person is looking at a house, they are looking for a "HOME" ~ Home includes everything that makes your house a home. All the way down to what local grocery store is the best! What birds frequent the area and how much rain fall do you get? It's alllll Real Estate! Great post my friend!
Deb
Deb: That's sooo right! Everything is real estate related!
It is all things real estate.. people often are not just buying homes, but a lifestyle.. they want to know all about the community where they will be living.
Sally, The video is just beautiful. I always think of you as the Local Expert from everything you write and the way you represent yourself. You certainly know your areas and I made it a point to know mine as well--mostly from reading YOUR Localism posts which are the BEST!!
We are also not just realtors, we are our clients' representative in the outside world. They trust us implicitly to take care of their best interests and that is a huge responsibility.
Sally, those of us in sales need to be chameleons if we are going to be able to service others. This is a lesson better learned sooner than later.
Joan: And so the reason we write Localism :)
Carole: You're sweet...I love making shows about Hawaii...it makes it more...personal. :)
Jane: It sure is....we don't just run around selling homes...we do everything so our clients have all the information they need (or we can direct them where) around the area.
George: For sure George...it's a good starter point don't ya think?
WOO HOO, Now that is a superb RES video and this should be on the front page of your web site. All of them. Positively stunning and this is one beautiful presentation. You should win an award for it!
William: I have this one on my photo gallery page...it's a great intro to people flying here don't ya think? So... did it entice you enough to vacation here ?????
Sally,
Home buyers are usually looking for more than just seeing a bunch of houses and that's where experts like you shine with their local knowledge. With that comes all those nice referrals.
Esko: That's for sure. I sure would want to have someone that has some knowledge on the neighborhood I'm buying in. The best thing is that I've been a resident since 1967 (I was 10 :) and know the whole island (honolulu county) pretty well :)
Sally, Good looking video. I like the "Ken Burns" effect. Really adds to the presentation ☺☺☺
Helping you live your American dream...
If it were only just buying and selling houses real estate would be so boring! Chameleon? Sort of like a lizard lizard lizard!
Thanks Michael! You mean this could be that good? lol
Gary: Hahahah
Aloha kaua e Sally. It's "funny" that you wrote about chameleons. That is how I feel where we adapt in order to survive whether in life or in business. ~ Lana
Sally it's true, you add such value to yourself when you are able to help people learn about the goings on in an area.
You are obviously the area expert for the island of Oahu.
Sally - all things real estate ... really does mean all things are related to real estate especially when talked about by a real estate pro.
As I have said many times you are so lucky to be the "market expert" in such a beautiful place!
Love the post. As always full of great information. Have a great week and sell a bunch.
