You hear many people lately talking about the "bad economy", that properties aren't selling, etc.... Well, I had 12 properties to schedule to show for a buyer this weekend.  Low and behold, only 3 of them were available.  All the others were in Option or Pending.  Also had a seller say to me yesterday that they were amazed at how many showings they are getting on their property in the last few days and that they thought the "market was bad".  There still are plenty of ready, willing, and able buyers out there.  This is evident in how fast some homes are selling and going under contract.  Of course, price and condition are determining factors.  PLUS, we're blessed to be in such a strong market in the Dallas Metroplex. 

If you're looking to relocate into the area or are considering selling your home, this is a MARVELous time!  You will find many resources at my website www.RockieMarvel.com.  Give me a call with any questions! 

 

 Read this today and thought it was definitely worth sharing.  It's the simple things we can do to make a difference daily in our lives and in turn the lives of others. 

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about what is going on in your life.
3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement, 'My purpose is to__________ today. I am thankful for______________'
4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.
6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
12. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
13. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
14. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
17. Forgive everyone for everything.
18. What other people think of you is none of your business.
19. GOD heals everything - but you have to ask Him.
20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
21. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch!!!
22. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for__________. Today I accomplished_________.
24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
25. When you are feeling down, start listing your many blessings.
