Multi-State & Multidimensional: Kaushik Sirkar On Selling in Two States & The Power of Marrying Data with Expertise

In real estate, two neighborhoods can be in the same area and be two totally different real estate markets. Now imagine what that means when you compare areas in two different states, like California and Arizona. The two might be neighbors, but the real estate transactions can be night and day. It takes a multi-dimensional real estate agent to bridge the gap, and successfully sell in two booming and attractive real estate markets. 

Being multidimensional as real estate professionals allows us to tap into different models and strategies so we can best serve our clients. For Kaushik Sirkar that means selling in two states, providing a wealth of multi-disciplinary expertise, and bringing multiple prongs of value to every aspect of real estate.

• Why so many agents struggle (it isn’t incompetence) 
• The biggest differences between selling in Arizona and in California 
• The power of data when it’s paired with expertise 
• Why property investing is an unbeatable wealth-building method 

Key Points 

You can’t beat real estate investment 

For busy professionals who don’t want to manage vacation rentals, a buy, hold and lease property is the perfect investment model. You can easily take the money you’re earning through your job, and get the ball rolling from your early-twenties, channeling your efforts into that model without diverting attention away from your main career. You’ll look up in a few years and be in a really good position. 

Agents have to protect buyers from their emotions 

Any real estate agent can show you the features of a home, but can they spot the things the buyer can’t and sniff out the underlying details of a property or area? For buyers, getting a home is an emotional decision, but it’s also their largest financial decision too. Real estate professionals have to protect the client from the emotion, so that they can make a decision that is right for them and sets them up for success for years to come. 

California real estate moves FAST  

In California, deals move at breakneck speed – a transaction can take days, not weeks or months. The challenge is: a whole lot of due diligence has to be packed into this time period. From the financing to the appraisals and inspections, Real estate professionals have to be able to accomplish in 10-14 days what might take 30-40 days in a state like Arizona.
