Real Estate Outlook
by Jeremy Gomez
Ready, Set, Buy! Or…Ready, Set, Sell!
Regardless of which side of the coin you are on (buyer or seller),
there is no question that the real estate market is back in full
action! Exciting times are among us, and sooner or later you will
find yourself in the hype that we call Central Florida real estate. There
is so much info to share, and time is ticking to get on this train!
But first, I would like to welcome you to my world—
My name is Jeremy Gomez, and I am a REALTOR®, Licensed Real
Estate Broker, & co-owner of G World Properties—a modern
boutique real estate firm in the Orlando, Florida area. Established
in 2007, our company has successfully completed 1,000+
residential & commercial real estate transactions over the years,
and currently has $9 million+ in sales for 2015 at the time of this
publication.
Personally, I have been an active professional in the real estate
industry for 10 years, and a Central Florida resident for 26.
Needless to say, I have also experienced the roller coaster ride of
our market.
Truth be told, that I survived the tough times of real estate,
adjusted through the different turns of the market, and found what
the needs of the community were — at the right times. I am proud
to call Central Florida my home, and I look forward to seeing the
bright future ahead; all while helping thousands of families achieve
their real estate goals & dreams.
So, how has the market been for the last few years? Let’s just say it
has been unpredictable and suspenseful, to say the least.
From the real estate boom of the early 2000’s, to the more recent
mortgage crisis of ‘08, to the flood of foreclosures & short sales of
‘09—one thing is certain: those events shaped where we are today.
Whether you were part of the good years, bad years, or simply
stood by the sidelines and watched, everyone learned great lessons
of life. Most people now think twice before making a big decision
(real estate or not), budget their money a little better, and have
learned to value the little things in life.
Some gained, some lost, some did a little of both — but now we are
wiser; and so is the industry. Most of us are ready to take another
shot at it, while at the same time, teach the new generation to learn
from our mistakes. Although those hurdles changed our lives
forever, we remain standing — stronger than ever. As long as you
have the knowledge of our current real estate situation, there is
definitely much to gain!
Now let’s focus on the present — 2015!
Hype and excitement builds as once or twice a week you hear that
a friend, relative or co-worker is being part of a sale or purchase
of real property. Actually, you might currently be one of those
fortunate individuals who are growing their wealth by transferring
real estate in our local area. It’s getting contagious to a certain
extent!
