In 2016, Orange County real estate agent Kenny Eggmann found a way to turn his passion for helping people into an amazing career, driven by an unwavering belief in the power of service. “After a decade of dedicating myself to helping others, what began as an ambition has since blossomed into an incredible opportunity for me to enrich people’s lives,” he says.
Amid inflation and rising interest rates, he’s committed to helping people find the house of their dreams. Eggmann admits that those efforts have been hindered lately by low inventory, which remains far below previous years’ levels. “Despite the increased home sales activity we’ve seen in January, inventory is still a major factor,” he says. This high-demand landscape means that many homes are receiving multiple offers as soon as they enter the market.
Eggmann doesn’t want that to deter buyers, though. He cautions them not to let the need for a bit of TLC scare them away from a purchase. “Invest in the potential of homes that require some work and reap the rewards,” he advises. He also doesn’t recommend putting off a purchase to wait for interest rates to go down. His advice: If you find the home you like, negotiate the best deal to purchase. Then, when rates come down, refinance. “I understand that waiting for rates to come down seems like the most logical thing to do,” he says. “But has anyone taken the time to show you the cost of waiting?”
He has some helpful advice for sellers too. He recommends putting in the extra effort to prepare your home for sale, which can prove invaluable. “Careful attention to detail and accurate pricing expectations are key factors in maximizing your return on investment,” he adds.
