Every Tuesday, I go into detail a question I frequently get asked. This week I cover what impact new work from home policies will do for Bay Area Real Estate.Things have already played out and we are seeing trends of outflow from San Francisco. While people are leaving San Francisco to other states, they are also moving to the suburbs of the Bay Area. This is why we see very strong demand in other locations. I suspect SF will rebound over time as things start to open up again but for now, there is downward pressure in SF.--If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!📧Spencer@spencerhsu.com📞 (408) 547-4590⏰ Set up a time to chat: https://calendly.com/spencerhsure🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/🎙️ Listen to my podcast: https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate📸Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure🧑‍💼 Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it's beneficial to refinance! http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW--My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.

This week I cover: What is the value of a Realtor in today's environment?The real estate industry continues to get attacked by all fronts from technology and disgruntled consumers. Make no mistake, it’s incredibly easy to get a real estate license as anyone that spends 2 months can become a Realtor. While the bar to get in is very low, the bar to do well is extremely hard. So what is the value of a Realtor today?Think about the journey today. Consumer websites like Zillow, Trulia and Redfin have some of the best interfaces available. The search and acces to see properties is easier than ever. So how do I add value today? The value is knowing entire the process of homeownership, determining the fair market value of a home, knowing the drivers of a certain city/area, understanding the competition, negotiations, being aware of replacement costs and things to look at, a team of trusted professionals ranging from contractors, lenders, and also the relationship of other Realtors. My goal in every transaction is giving my clients the most information possible to make the best decision.Last but not least, it’s the powerful network that my clients can benefit from. Annual VIP parties creates an amazing atmosphere for people to get to know each other while having a great time!--If you’re interested in buying, selling, or investing in residential or commercial real estate in the 📍SF Bay Area, contact me today!📧Spencer@spencerhsu.com📞 (408) 547-4590⏰ Set up a time to chat: https://calendly.com/spencerhsure🌍 Find your dream Bay Area home https://www.homesbyspencerhsu.com/🎙️ Listen to my podcast: https://redcircle.com/shows/bayarearealestate📸Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spencerhsure🧑‍💼 Let's connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerhsu🛎 Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest real estate tips and updates: https://forms.gle/c5xkznHLTBh7Yzgi7🏠💲 Track the value of your home and see if it's beneficial to refinance! http://bit.ly/3aFdyMW--My Background: Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years as Technology Sales Manager before becoming a Realtor.
