RESPRO® President Anticipates ‘Delay Not a Decline’ for Real Estate Industry
Exclusive interview on The Brian Buffini Show podcast unveils insights about coronavirus effect on the market from top experts in the real estate and banking industry.
CARLSBAD, Calif. (May 7, 2020) — 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 COVID-19. 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 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 the current situation to promote 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 banking professionals to continue serving customers at the highest level. 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.

Before becoming President and Executive Director of RESPRO®, Trepeta spent more than a decade at the National Association of REALTORS®, and served as a Vice President at JP Morgan Chase.
