The new monthly and quarterly study gauges the state and strength of the U.S. residential real estate market.

Norwalk, CT – Dec. 22, 2021 (PRNewswire) RISMedia, the leading independent provider of real estate news, information and events, proudly released the first edition of its Broker Confidence Index (BCI) Report this month. In its first release, the study revealed brokers are extremely confident as they head into a new year.

On a monthly basis, RISMedia will check in with more than 3,000 of the U.S.’s top residential real estate brokers to gauge their confidence in their own business and the overall market, on a scale from 1-10. In Its initial release, the BCI was notably high at 8.2.

In addition to the index score, on a quarterly basis, RISMedia will ask its respondents additional questions to flesh out more context and understand the “why” behind its index’s score. And learn more about the strength of their businesses.

Overwhelmingly, residential real estate brokers indicated they are coming off a strong quarter. They also shared that despite inventory shortages, brokers expect the market to remain strong in the first quarter of 2022.

That said, inventory is still a very real challenge, as are potential rises in interest rates.

RISMedia is confident the BCI report will not only keep real estate professionals up to date on the current conditions of the residential market, but it will also serve as a critical indicator that will forecast the strength of the industry and where it’s headed.

“We are excited to launch this one-of-a-kind report, because information is your currency,” says John Featherston, founder and CEO at RISMedia. “The monthly surveys are short, but the information they yield will be invaluable to our entire community.”

RISMedia, self described as “the residential real estate industry’s definitive source for news and information for real estate’s most profitable and productive professionals and all those looking to gain a competitive edge” , recently published a post that covers strategies to improve your first impression at a listing presentation.

Suggestions included:

  • Respond quickly
  • Set yourself apart
  • Prepare for showtime
  • Consider a makeover
  • Pump up your engagement factor

In the ‘prepare for showtime’ section that state:

“When you arrive for the actual appointment, make it a real showstopper. You want the seller to see you as different and creative, with such impressive services that you become their only choice. Arrive with customized feather flags, riders for call capture (if signs are appropriate), a single-property website URL, a lead capture system already in place for their price range, a screen capture of your lead incubation reports, as well as the CMA. Begin by digitally demonstrating your premium marketing plan to visually engage the seller to interact as you review your special initiatives.”

A couple of things to consider:

1. You can create an AgencyLogic single property Website for free prior to your listing presentation. You only pay for it once you get the listing.

2. A lot of agents keep their single property Websites live after the property has sold because it allows them to demonstrate how they marketed previous listings
