Guest contributor Jose Perez of PCMS Consulting says:
Some of you may know that I just moved from Atlanta to Miami. My wife and I are recent empty nesters, and decided to downsize from our big suburban house in Atlanta for condo life in Miami. Although we have bought and sold many homes over the years, for some reason this move was the most emotional, complicated, and stressful of our lives.
Because it was the first move since I started PCMS — a company dedicated to the innovation and reinvention of the brokerage industry — it was also the most enlightening as it relates to the real estate professionals and brokerages we have come into contact with since we decided to move. So far, our experiences have confirmed the fears we all have: Our industry just does not deliver a consistent consumer experience.
Let's go back about 20 months when we went to Miami to see our families for the Christmas holidays. My wife and I met in Miami and our parents live here, so we have very deep roots in the Miami area. Our plan was always to move back when the kids were grown. As we sat on the balcony having coffee one morning in South Beach, we looked and each other and said, "What are we waiting for?" At the time our youngest was a senior in high school so we figured we could make a move within nine to 12 months. Our real estate search began that morning in December 2011!
