 You feel like you just, you're drowning here, that you just, there's no way for you to succeed because they're showing you the wrong stuff. It's like NAR for example, coming out and saying there's more listings than there are agents. Okay, what kind of message is that? What is that sending to agents? What's up everybody? Ricky Karuth here. Welcome back to my channel. So today I want to talk about my prediction of the real estate market and what I think is one of the greatest opportunities that we've ever seen coming soon and how you can capitalize. Before I get into all that, I want to give you a full disclosure here that there's only 97 free tickets left to the Miami event that's going to be June 30th. This is going to be off the chain. After all the tickets are gone in the next day or so, I don't want you to say, Ricky I wish you would have told me about the Miami event. I didn't know about the Miami event. Guys, the tickets are free. The link is in the description. Go to zerodediamond.com backslash events and if you can't go to Miami, that's okay. I just opened up Charleston. Charleston is available. That's going to be August 12th and I'm opening up more as we go along. I'm planning on Dallas, Nashville, Vegas, okay. I am more and more and more to come. So the zerodediamond tour is in full effect. We're doing this and I'm coming to a city near you.

All you have to do, like, comment, subscribe, hit the bell and I'm going to pick 10 winners over the next 24 hours. Let's go. Now the market is on absolute fire right now. Of course it has been. Everybody knows that. That's not new to anyone. Everybody is full aware that the market is complete insanity right now. It has been for several months. Where it's going, nobody really knows, but I'm going to give you my prediction of what I think. Now, one thing that I do not like seeing in the market right now is all the negativity from certain agents. There's a group of agents who are positive and who are really closing a lot of deals and then there's a group of agents over here who are very negative about the market and saying how tough it is and making all these excuses. I don't know if you realize this or not, but 90% of agents who get into this business do not make it in the business. They go back to their nine to five. Okay. If you're one of these agents who are making excuses and finding ways and being negative about the market and really blaming outside forces for the reasons why you're not succeeding, chances are you're in the 90% of agents who will not make it in this business. Okay. You've got to be in the top 10% just to barely squeeze by in this business. That's what I want for you. I want you to be in that top 10% so you've got to quit making excuses. You've got to start trying to find solutions. That's what I want to talk to you about today. I want you to quit finding excuses and I want you to look for and find solutions in every situation. Hey, I get it. There's a lot of media out there that's being negative and they're putting all these things in your head that's creating this situation where you feel like you're drowning here, that there's no way for you to succeed because they're showing you the wrong stuff. It's like NAR, for example, coming out and saying there's more listings than there are agents, but for now just realize that's the absolute wrong message to be sending out on a mainstream media platform. But for now, just realize that we're in a very low inventory, high demand, low interest rate market right now. Will this last? No, it's not going to last. How long is this going to last? I don't know, but there's a few things I can tell you. The first thing I can tell you is that as a real estate agent, none of this matters. No outside forces matter for your success whatsoever. Closings will happen every day for the rest of your life regardless of what the market does. So what is all this matter? It doesn't matter if prices are up or down, where supply and demand is, where interest rates are, so on and so forth. None of that matters. If closings are happening every day and we get paid per transaction in the form of a commission, then why does any of this matter? Our job is not at that point to worry about the market, so on and so forth. Our job is literally just to help the people who are buying and selling at any given day. And teaching you these very simple strategies is what I do best. This is how I've built my business and this is how I want you to build your business.

And I will help you through whatever the problem is. You see guys, I want to save you money on A coaching. I don't think any real estate agent should pay for coaching. Should you maybe pay a one time fee for access to a certain person you want to talk to and have questions? Sure, maybe if they're on a super high celebrity status level and it's just going to take some money to buy their time, to spend some time with them, sure. Paying an ongoing fee is absolutely insanity. I'm trying to save the industry from paying for coaching on a recurring basis. I'm also trying to save you money by saying, hey guys, don't pay for leads, right? Don't pay for leads, these online leads, these lead generation sources that are sending you the worst bottom of the barrel leads for the highest possible price. Let's get away from those two scenarios and let me save you thousands of dollars every month. Now I think that we are headed for euphoria for real estate agents. I think there's going to be this moment, okay? It's going to be a 30 to 90 day window, let's say, right? Maybe 30 to 60 days. I don't know how big this window is going to be, but it's going to be a massive, massive euphoric situation for real estate agents. The market prices are just skyrocketing, okay? We're seeing signs of a little bit of leveling out in some markets right now as we speak. As I talk to agents all over the country, they're telling me that they're not getting as many multiple offers. They're not getting as many multiple offers as they were, say, a month ago. So that tells me, huh, something's happening. I've even had a couple of buyers write a contract and then rescind their offer saying, hey, the market's too high. I'm just not feeling good about buying this property. I think we're going to see more and more of that as we move forward, as the market continues to explode here. But what I honestly think that when that time comes, that undetermined time comes when the market does officially level out and you have sellers who have been dying to sell. There's so much pent up demand right now for sellers to sell. Sellers want to upgrade, okay? This is just natural, okay? This is mother nature, if you will. People just want to upgrade. It's in our human nature. So they want to upgrade, but they can't because there's nothing to buy and they can't sell what they have and try to buy something because the market's too crazy. Their chances are very low if they will get, even get a property and even get what they want, okay? But unless it's a unique situation where you know a builder and you work out a deal and you have somebody build a house or you get lucky or something along those lines, most people are not going to be able to take what they have, sell it, and then buy what they want. So there's a lot of sellers just sitting on the sideline, so they can't replace what they have and they're scared they're going to leave money on the table because prices are going up so much, which by the way, guys, doesn't matter whatsoever when you're trading for another property unless there's a huge price difference. So when you're trading apples to apples here, it doesn't really matter if you sell and buy when the market's high because what you buy is going to be higher if it's low, what everybody's going to be lower. You're going to lose money when you sell here, you're going to make money when you buy at the lower price, vice versa. It doesn't really matter because you're buying right back into the same market at any given time. The problem right now is inventory and that creates a very unique dynamic here in the market and something we haven't really seen a whole lot of. We've seen a little bit of this back in 2003 and four. Back in 2003 and four, this is a very slim market. The difference is lending regulations. Lending regulations are so much tougher right now. You guys that were around, you could walk in a bank, just sign a piece of paper, say you make a million dollars and they give you a loan for a million dollars and you might even be a pizza delivery boy making, you know, 15,000 a year. They weren't checking income at all. And what were you doing as the pizza boy? Borrowing a million dollars. Well, you were buying a property for a million dollars to try to sell that property for 1.2 when it's really worth about 600. So most of your buyers back during that time were speculative buyers buying to flip. Now, everyone's an end user. Most of the buyers today are end users. There's a few flippers, but the percentages are so overwhelmingly the other way. You know, they're making sure that people can afford these houses. Now, as things change and the affordability, you know, of these houses go up and, you know, interest rates start to creep up. You know, there's going to be some dynamics that change the market moving forward, okay? And this is where euphoria is going to happen. This is what I predict here for real estate agents. And you got to be ready for this, okay? If you're the agent who is following my program and you're developing these relationships, you're not worried about, oh, how many deals we're getting. You're worried about how many people we're creating relationships with and putting into our database, sending this weekly email and building personal brand for the future. If you're that type of agent, building your personal brand, what's going to happen is you have all the relationships in place, okay? There's a lot of seller pent up demand for sellers to sell. What's going to happen is as we see the market level out officially, if interest rates go up some or who knows what's going to happen. Nobody really knows what triggers. Nobody's, you know, you can try to predict what's going to trigger the market to shift, but nobody really knows exactly what's going to make it shift. Let's just say, for example, interest rates go up and everybody's going to realize it at the same time that boom, we've hit the top of the market. Now what do we do? Okay, well all this seller pent up demand, they're going to realize it all at the once and they're going to say, oh man, I got to sell it right now, you know, since we're at the top and before it goes down and all this stuff. And we're going to get flooded with listings. Okay, we're going to get flooded with listings. Who's going to get those listings? We are, the zero to diamond agents are going to get all those listings because we have all the relationships in place. They're going to call us. We're the one that's been building rapport. We're the one that's been there for them. Okay, we're the one that's letting them know who we are, what we do and we're here to help. Making calls and developing these relationships to prepare for this earthquake that is about to happen, guys. So I'm excited about it. I've been kind of thinking about this for a while. I've set it on a couple of videos. I wanted to share it on a specific video today for you just so you could understand the entire thought process behind this. Please let me know if you have any questions whatsoever. You can shoot a comment or hit me up on Instagram and let me know what you think. Also, I'm going to post a video below how to get listings in today's markets and also old expired scripts. Okay, I'm going to do those two videos below that will really help you go after and develop these relationships and really make it happen, build your business, build that foundation. And let's get it. See you on the next video.
