If you haven't already read numerous rightups about the housing market and mortgage rates and charted them all out you will find the window of time to capitalize on seriously profitable home buying power is slowly closing. Not to say that you shouldn't buy down the road, but if you want the largest ROI NOW IS THE TIME! 
I'm a little late to the party but I just read the post about the 31 day of December challenge. This does tend to be a slow month for real estate so what the heck I will give this a shot. I don't have a problem with coming up with 31 things to do for my business but 5 post a week will be a stretch for me.
It was just too good to be true, getting a Short Sale approval within 3 weeks of submitting an offer. Woo hoo. All the conditions were worked out and agreeable AND there was $6000 for the 2nd position lender.
Every year about this time, I read a book that continually shapes my thinking about Christmas each year. The book is, "God Came Near" by Max Lucado. This little paper back book had become a bit dog-eared and worn, but is full of truth and interesting descriptions of what was going on at the birth of Jesus and just how real is really was. We tend to glamorize being born in a barn, but it really wasn't all that glamorous, but the Baby born there sure did finish his time on earth very strong. Check this out....

Day 4 of the challenge and still going strong. Today I joined a new group to network with & sent e-mails to 6 new leads in my data base. I also set up auto e-mail for those 6 new leads so they receive new listings via e-mail automatically as they come available.
I decided to join in on 31 Days of December Challenge were you need to do one thing a day to prepare yourself and your business for 2011. As far as I know each person who completes the challenge will receive 3000 points but I dont think thats the purpose. I took the challenge so I can get head start on 2011.

This is a question to the community...what do you do when you have agents who send clients to listing agents...to get the listing agent to show the home...then you receive a call from the agent in question asking you for disclosures because the client wishes to put in an offer. These agents are not showing the home...have no knowledge of the potential issues the home may have...and are not giving true representation to the client.

The common thought is "to give is better than to recieve" and I believe this true, but, pointed out to me decades ago when I was a rebelious youth, on the threshold of my independence, that allowing my mother to do something for me gave her that satisfaction within that I never realized until I became a parent. Let those in your life you need to demonstrate your self sufficient do something for you on occassion.
