Just a quick update today as the Brockette Homes team celebrates 2024 achievements.
This was a bit of a transition year for our business. Alan eased into retirement and we added a few people to our team!
Katie Reck, who I mentored when she started at Ruhl&Ruhl, officially became a team agent. Katie is in her 5 th year as a REALTOR®. We couldn’t have found a more perfect partner to join Brockette Homes. Whether working with buyers or sellers, our clients are well served by Katie’s professionalism and real estate expertise!
Brooke Harrigan became our go-to transaction coordinator. There’s a lot of balls that are juggled
throughout the buying and selling process. Once we have our clients under contract, Brooke efficiently helps us all stay focused to make sure deadlines are met and the process stays on track. And of course we couldn’t survive without our marketing assistant, Julie Borkosky. Julie has been with the Brockette Homes team before we were a team! She takes our ideas and expertly implements them, as we market our listings as well as our team.
2024 had its challenges.
An election year adds some uncertainty for people and also for financial markets. That being said, interest rates stayed somewhat steady in the 6%-6.5% range. Dr. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of REALTORS®, predicts that rates in 2025 will remain in this range, providing some stability for home buyers.
New real estate laws went into effect across the country, significantly changing how buyers engage with buyer’s real estate agents. While change can be scary, we believe these changes will benefit all parties going forward. In 2024, we posted some videos with more details about these changes. Contact us with questions as we’d love to talk with you about how these changes might benefit you.
Despite the challenges, the Brockette Homes team had a solid year of helping nearly 40 buyers and sellers improve their lives:
- relocating,
- increasing real estate investments,
- purchasing new construction homes,
- stepping toward their business dreams,
- purchasing their first homes,
- downsizing,
- accommodating growing families,
- moving closer to family and friends
- buying their “forever” home
This is our “Why”. Why we are excited to wake up every day to help people achieve the dreams of where and how they want to live. It’s an honor to be a part of their journey.
Cheers to 2024 and we look forward to helping our friends and families, as well as meeting new people along the way. Thank you for your continued interest in and support of the Brockette Homes real estate team, part of Ruhl&Ruhl REALTORS®. Please let us know how we can help you in 2025 and beyond.
