If you live in Los Angeles like me, you’ve learned how your phone ping always skips your heart. Is it an evacuation notification, the latest update about the fire that destroys our town, or another message from a friend or family you are worried about? One of the extensive reminders from the authorities is that you need to prepare GO-BAG in case you need to leave at any time.
Just two weeks ago, I tried to assemble my gobag. While I was stuck faithfully, I reached out to my favorite high heels -I often travel and take it everywhere.
Please participate in the Inman Intel Index survey in January
Thankfully, my husband pointed out that the bag is for a necessity in case of emergency need to escape from home. Space is indispensable, and the rooms they take up can be filled with practical clothing, important documents, prescriptions, food and water.
It was a welcome morning call, reminding you that no matter how much you raise, you are not always thinking clearly in the age of great stress and suspense. You would have been able to plan the gobags more strategically.
The desperate feeling is definitely true for Southern California residents and other regions influenced by natural disasters. All of them may notice the prisoners of the moment, panic, and make theiropic decisions.
Go bags are not only limited to physical belongings. It is to make a strict essential comprehensive plan, including the candidate list of people who need to call in an emergency. Of course, you will have your family, friends, and those who are likely to evacuate at home. As I considered my plan later, I added another person to my proverb’s gobag: I believe that my real estate agent will help me navigate the task of finding a new house. 。
Currently, many influenced residents in our region are facing important choices about their homes. They may be evacuated and are thinking about where to live and what to do in an existing house. These disasters have permanent threats.
I know that it is difficult to become a real estate agent in this position. Before the fire begins, the housing stock is already close, and there are tens of thousands of Angeleno who needs shelters desperately. Our office has a phone call and is sad.
Some of our California agents reported at least 60 people and many open houses. Some agents receive more than 30 times a day for available homes.
It is difficult to accept the reality that you cannot help everyone. However, how to use precious expertise as a local real estate agent to support the client navigating the current situation and planning a safe and secure thing tomorrow. There is.
How to support clients during a disaster
Real estate agents play an important role in supporting clients through these decisions, and support buyers find homes and sellers to manage their current level demand. Here are some suggestions about how we can become rocks and support customers.
Please provide information
It is essential to maintain the latest development, such as the Socal Wildfires, and to understand the latest development and to understand nearly and long -term risks related to purchases in areas where fire is likely to occur. It is a kind of local expertise that you can provide.
As usual, you are an important source of information on current market trends and predictions, the latest insights on housing availability and price setting. Use professional networks to procure useful information for clients, such as how to use Coldwell Banker Realty Agent to use real estate partner mortgages, insurance and reconciliation expertise.
During this time, it is also a great help to point to clients to local resources and support groups that can provide additional support.
Please protect the house
In particular, some insurance companies have withdrawn from high -risk areas, so clients thoroughly investigate home insurance options. Comprehensive family tests are also important to evaluate fire damage and guarantee that real estate meets safety standards.
The best agents have detailed knowledge about these services at their fingertips and provide important guidance to clients. Housing owners should consider their own investment and future mountain fire in consideration of community preparation plan and fire -resistant housing functions.
Maintain the level head
Remember that the client is important not to make a decision in a hurry, despite the unstable market. It is important to spend time to make choices based on information. In many cases, buyers are looking for a new center of gravity, not a temporary stop.
Immediate stability needs to be balanced with the decision beyond the current meaning.
Please say no to the price gown
South California has a large demand for available leases and houses. We want to encourage the clients to refuse to refuse the price adjustment, which is a harmful and illegal comparison that can occur when natural disasters affect the use of housing. Despite the large number of phone calls, you always judge each of them and guarantee the seller to arrange qualified potential buyers as you always.
Don’t forget to listen
In general, real estate agents need to recognize the fear of the client and provide emotional support. Occasionally, listening can make a big difference. Consultation with a real estate specialty can help clients make a balanced decision -making.
As a native Angeleno, I am deeply sad about the devastation experienced in Southern California. In my opinion, all agents and our community are influenced by these wildfires.
FEMA has declared this as a large -scale disaster, and residents need to support recovery. The ANYWHERE DISASTER RELIEF FUND (ADRF), part of the charity Foundation, is supported by employees who have been affected by the county as a large -scale disaster by the federal government. If you know those who need a home or need a house, the CBR GREATER LOS Angeles team has established a Facebook Group to support affected people to find temporary housing and new shelters. I did.
Real estate is a prestigious occupation, and we are a reliable advisor who supports clients through some of their most emotional times in their lives. Let’s be that safe person. Consumers can rely on all of the crisis and be careful of them. Do not get the notification of advice to pack the go bag again.
