Learn from the Builders

April 28, 2006 by Don Murray

A larger challenge to the Real Estate Industry could come from the high production - high volume home builders."? When it comes to selling houses and bundling services, there are none smarter than the high volume tract home builders."?

What happens when the builder's wake up and realize that they don't have to actually build the house to get the listing?

Do you realize that the profits from the actual building operation make up a small component of the builder's profit."? The majority of the revenues come from the bundled services surrounding the home sale.

Every builder's dream would be to have:

All Architectural Styles
All Price Ranges
All Locations
Someone else to cover the loan costs on the standing inventory.
Virtually no product liability
No delays for municipal approvals
No Liability with Investors
No Liability with Construction Lenders

When builders wake up and realize all they need"?to have these dreams come true is to go to charm school and learn how to sell the standing inventory in the MLS

Very few real estate brokers have evolved to the sophistication in business protocols, technology systems and cash flow optimization every successful builder must have in place to survive and prosper.

Cal First Financial is essentially a builder that does not build."? We sold the building company in 1993 and brought the business model forward, modified it and introduced it into the re-sale market place."?

My mission here is to inform you as to what is possible, what is coming, and to encourage you to get ready.

Otherwise, you will get ground into the dust and it will be a painful and costly end.

Thanks, and --- Always remember -- I can help you!
