Real Estate Market Insights: Why Every Call Matters

By Saleem Mubarak

In the rapidly changing world of real estate, not every call gets answered—but it’s certain that every call matters. While some agents chase quick deals, a few rare professionals still take the time to guide investors by sharing hard-earned market insights.

Such real estate market insights help people save money, shape better decisions and build lasting trust. In a business driven by profit, true value has become a rare and priceless commodity.

Why Professional Guidance Matters Today

I talk to many real estate brokers and agents every day to hear their views on the market and share them with others, so people can make informed investment decisions based on professional experience.

But it’s surprising that some non-professionals, when they answer a call, first listen calmly, thinking a client is reaching out.

However, when they learn that their opinion is being sought for free to help investors or renters make better decisions, they start making excuses.

Sometimes they say they’re in the middle of something, sometimes they mention a property showing and sometimes they claim they are traveling. Maybe they’re telling the truth.

Real Estate Market Insights and Changing Trends

Yet when asked if they will be available after half an hour, an hour, or even the next day to share their insights, they quickly say they won’t be.

The market is changing every day and artificial intelligence is transforming it even faster.

People want to work with professionals who aren’t just reaching out to earn a profit, but who provide genuine value—helping both investors and themselves.

Why Buyers Need Reliable Market Knowledge

Of course, everyone works to make a living or earn a profit. But people never forget those who bring happiness and prosperity to their lives, protect them from losses and deliver real benefits.

Whether the market changes or not, an average consumer or investor may not notice. However, those who work in real estate regularly understand the market well and do their research before investing.

Many buyers, on the other hand, don’t fully understand the market. They don’t know where to invest, which neighborhoods are better, which areas have upcoming projects, or what the latest trends are. Only those connected to the market for years can truly guide them.

The Importance of Awareness and Education

It’s like how pharmaceutical companies run awareness campaigns about different diseases. During COVID-19, major campaigns were launched to save lives–profit was not the main goal.

Similarly, genuine real estate professionals, even busy, are willing to guide people. They help investors so that they can save their hard-earned money and make wiser investment decisions.

Why Answering Calls Still Matters

New entrants to the real estate market should begin by researching it thoroughly. It’s surprising that many agents, brokers and salespersons do not even answer calls.

You never know—someone calling could be a potential lead or referral.

Just because you receive clients through references or advertisements does not mean the person referring will tell them about you. Many people conduct their own research, gather information and then call directly to the real estate agents.

If you don’t pick up, they get disappointed.

Some agents do take calls but are focused only on quick conversions. In real estate, deals can take months, so expecting immediate results is unrealistic. Taking such shortcuts is never the right approach.
