"This Too Shall Pass" says Dave Liniger
Dave Liniger is the Chairman of the Board and Co-founder of RE/MAX International, Inc. He and real estate agent sales trainer extraordinaire, Howard Brinton, talked about the current real estate market and how similar it is to markets of the past. "We started RE/MAX in 1973 in Colorado" says Dave, "and I can tell you that I have seen worst markets than this in my career and expect this one will also pass. We have grown the company through 7 presidents, 3 major wars, 4 recessions and a number of economic booms and busts. In this dynamic economy there is no such thing as status quo. What is constant is people will always buy and sell commodities including homes." Dave further explained the agents that are serious about their professions and their desire to care for their clients will outlast the slowing economy and the agents that are not.
Gail Liniger, another co-founder and Vice Chairman of the Board of RE/MAX International, Inc is a fixture at all the RE/MAX Conventions. Her spirit and positive outlook is infectious. No matter how many agents RE/MAX has (now over 100,000 in 65 countries) Gail makes you feel like your part of the family. Here Noel & I met Gail at the vendor marketplace where real estate vendors from all over the country demonstrate new and innovative systems that help agents provide better tools to their clients and eventually help sell their homes quicker and for higher prices.
