I was holding a Real-estate Investment class and I like to start by asking if anyone have any questions. When several people asked “how many active listings are in the Greater Portland area” I knew that this was something that was definitely on their minds and I determined that this was a question that just had to be answered. I think educating the public is just one of my jobs as a realtor and I don’t want anybody losing sleep over the answer. So, if this question is keeping you up at night I have the answer for you. By providing this information besides sounding like the expert I’ll also be known as the realtor that helped put you to sleep! I told my marketing team to come up with a quote that would fit this subject so I could add it to my business card. I had a few ideas but I liked “Greg Rosen the only realtor that puts you to bed fully satisfied”. My marketing coordinator is thinking I should really go a different direction. Before publication I always have my wife read over my articles, not sure why but she’s still laughing. The answer is there are 22,935 active Listings. If you had on hand $10,905,951,587, you could buy every active listing. That’s almost 11 Billion Dollars! I’m thinking if I was your broker with my superior negotiating skills I could get that down to an even 10 billion. I know what you’re thinking, is Greg really that good to be able to cut a billion dollars? Some have said, “Yes” I can’t actually give you a name but that is the talk going around town.
