Real Estate Goals for the SMART Investor

S.M.A.R.T. is a mnemonic acronym that stands for Specific; Measurable; Attainable; Relevant; Time-Limit.  This is applied in real estate as a system for thorough decision-making, effective time management, and achieving goals within a limited framework. The term has been adapted for over 40 years with the first known use being implemented into workplace management principles.

To be best prepared for major investments; here is how a savvy investor can best apply the SMART Goals;

Specific

The solution to helping a real estate agent best serve your needs is to know exactly what you're looking for when purchasing property and homes. A clear picture and specific idea of home aspects, aesthetics, and functional purposes can narrow down the search.

Measurable

To keep your goals measurable and keep track of short term decisions and moves. Having your goals stay in range allows you to stay focused, meet your legal and logistical deadlines when moving, and feel the anticipation of taking one step closer to your dream investment.

Attainable

SMART goals are achievable goals. Real estate investors need to be able to manage their expectations when combing through overlooked opportunities or property. A realistic question to ask should be "am I taking key constraints into account such as financial factors?"

Relevant

This step is important because making decisions that matter to you need 2nd, 3rd and sometimes even a 4th time around consideration. To know that your goals are driving you and those around you forward into a prosperous future is paramount. Make sure that your decision is relevant to you, your family, and your current needs.

Time-limit

Every goal needs a deadline, and in the real estate industry, times need to be set in stone. Don't let everyday concerns get in the way of your long term homeownership goals. The sooner you can implement good time management the better your options, negotiation outcomes, and property investment portfolio will be.

A SMART goal driven real estate agent is always on top of their game. Be sure to keep an eye open for these valuable traits when you decide to sell or buy with Homes of Distinction.
