Setting Work and Life Boundaries - 03/05/08 10:10 AM
Does your job or business demand that you be accessible 24/7? In an era of ubiquitous cell phones, pagers, Blackberrys and WiFi internet access, it is easy to keep in touch with the office from anywhere. No doubt, many of you find that this is a mixed blessing at best.

When dealing with a Seller, do you sometimes find that they are unrealistic about how much they want for their home? Do you find yourself wanting to ask for price reductions right after you put the house in the MLS? Do you not always know how to bring up the topic of a "price reduction" to one of your clients?  If you are having difficulty getting price reductions or are continually asking your clients for a price reduction, ask yourself:
