Here lately, everybody I meet, when they find out I'm in real estate, they want to know how business is doing. It's easy to look around and see gloom and doom, with lenders having problems, and buyers having problems, and sellers having problems. And real estate agents having problems.
But I think that things are pretty much what you make them out to be, and I honestly have to say that from my perspective, the market is fantastic! I have four closings scheduled this week, and one of my agents has two scheduled this week. In the last 12 years that I have been selling real estate, the market has always been fantastic! And here's the secret....what I focus on, is instead of focusing on the entire nation in a devastating mortgage crisis, I focus on getting the job done for my clients, the day-to-day reality for them. Some need more help than others. Some owe more on their house than what it is worth. That's when I negotiate with their lender. You take the good with the bad. They aren't all "slam-dunk" transactions. Some take more work than others.
The industry is changing a lot, and one of the shakedowns from that is that many people are turning in their real estate licenses. Studies have shown that the new fingerprinting requirements in Texas are keeping a lot of people from pursuing or renewing a real estate license. To all of this, I say, that is fantastic! That leaves more business for those of us who are dedicated to what we do.
A wise man once said that we become what we think about most. What are you thinking about today? Where are your thoughts today? Instead of focusing on what you don't want, how about focusing on what you do want? It really does make a difference. God bless your day, and God bless America!
