LPT REALTY UPDATE 4/15/24
Market Movements: Last week, the CPI numbers rolled in, and job creation was unexpectedly high, with 300,000 new jobs versus the anticipated 200,000. This significant data suggested no easing up on interest rates, contrary to prior expectations. In fact, mortgage rates saw a sharp increase mid-week. For those of you working with pre-approvals or clients needing to lock in rates, now’s the time to have those crucial conversations.
Brokerage Updates: March was a monumental month for us at LPT Realty. We nearly hit the billion-dollar volume mark—a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. Despite some challenges with compliance staffing due to the unexpected volume, we’ve taken steps to enhance our team and processes to better serve you and continue our growth trajectory.
Looking Ahead: The corporate team and I have a busy travel schedule in the coming weeks, speaking at major real estate events across the country. We’re excited about these opportunities to share insights and learn from other industry leaders. Plus, we’re testing new features like direct Zoom access through Kinect to make joining our meetings smoother.
Growth and Compliance: As part of our ongoing commitment to compliance and service excellence, we’re excited to announce a regional realignment of our compliance teams. This strategic move will allow us to manage growth more effectively and ensure that we continue to provide top-notch support tailored to the specific needs of each region.
A Look at the Numbers: We closed an impressive 3,147 transactions in March alone, positioning us among the top brokerages nationwide in transaction volume. This achievement reflects not only the robustness of our market strategy but also the exceptional performance of our agents who continue to excel in a competitive landscape.
In Closing: We remain committed to equipping you with the best tools, support, and information to succeed. The upcoming launch of Kinect 2.0 promises even more robust features to help you thrive in your real estate endeavors.
Thank you for tuning in to another Motivational Monday. Let’s continue to push forward, leveraging the strength of our community and the resources at our disposal. Here’s to a productive week ahead in the dynamic world of real estate!
Remember, at LPT Realty, we don’t just sell homes, we build careers.
