CARLSBAD, Calif., May 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RESPRO® President and Executive Director, Ken Trepeta, joined real estate leader Brian Buffini on his podcast, The Brian Buffini Show, to discuss how the industry is adapting to the new normal during the COVID-19 crisis. The Real Estate Services Providers Council (RESPRO®) unites everyone from real estate agents to title agents to better assist consumers — giving Trepeta a unique perspective on the current situation. His insights complement those of recent podcast guests, including Dr. Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of Research, and Michael DeVito, Head of Wells Fargo Home Lending.
During the exclusive interview, Trepeta shared how he’s seen the industry adapt to market uncertainty while promoting safe, timely transactions: “There are impediments to getting deals done, but, even in the hardest hit areas, people are coming through.” When it comes to housing demand, Trepeta said he anticipates a delay, not a decline: “People are ready to live life again, and part of living life again is getting a new home or upgrading.”
Brian Buffini advised all real estate and mortgage professionals to continue serving customers with the highest level of service. He also reminded listeners that; “We’re all in the same storm, but not everybody’s in the same boat,” and encouraged people to take market projections with a grain of salt.
