THE MARKET SHIFTS
© 2019 Keller Williams Realty, Inc.
The Anatomy of a Shift Shifts occur whenever supply and demand move out of balance Buyer's Market = Seller supply exceeds buyer demand Sellers's Market = Buyer demand exceeds seller supply A shift occurs when the market moves from one to the other Š 2019 Keller Williams Realty, Inc.

The Law of Equilibrium The available income in a market determines the number of agents in that market
Š 2019 Keller Williams Realty, Inc.
As the number of transactions rises, so does the number of agents When the number of available transactions falls, so does the number of agents
The Law of Equilibrium People are attracted to the industry by the perceived income opportunity and driven out by the reality of the competition for it.

Re-Margin Your Business
Š 2019 Keller Williams Realty, Inc.
Lower Your Expenses You must lower your costs now. "Revenuing" your way out of a shift is iffy at best The profit you seek will always be made in the way you manage your money When the market shifts, you must create a budget that matches your revenue Š 2019 Keller Williams Realty, Inc.

Get Your Leverage Right

When the Market Shifts It's time to roll up your sleeves and for everyone around you to do the same
It's time to consider effectiveness and efficiency as tools of necessity
It's time to evaluate which resources and services must stay or go
It's time to see what bang you can get for the bucks you got
© 2019 Keller Williams Realty, Inc.
When the Market Shifts Your organization must shift too A market shift can be an opportunity to evaluate, upgrade, and top-grade your business, an unsolicited gift of the shift

It may be time to reassess and top grade your people

Instead of just managing the flow, it may be time to retool and upgrade your systems
