Agent Spotlight: Herman Chan

What would your vision of a real estate super agent be? A market expert of course. A social media guru perhaps? Someone with a nose for style and trends who can determine the value of a house and give feedback on its aesthetic merit? How about some TV and modelling experience too? Well, throw in some trademark sassy wit and and you’ve got on-air personality Herman Chan. Appearing on HGTV programs House Hunters and My House is Worth What, Chan is also a columnist for AgentGenius.com and hosts a popular web series on the his website HabitatforHermanity.com, which “skewers the real estate business, pokes fun at his fellow agents all the while empowering buyers & sellers with behind-the-scene tips & secrets of the industry.”

In the video clip below, Herman Chan offers his perspective on the merits of selling in the “winter” vs. the summer (you lucky West-Coasters!): “Traditional agents advise their clients to list their property during the high season of real estate (spring/summer). However, there are definitely good reasons why listing in winter may be better!”

Why selling in the winter gets you better buyers!
