I don't know about the rest of you but I have decided not to participate in this recession.

Monday: I got short sale approval on one of my closings, set to close in 3 weeks. The whole process took about a month.

         Tuesday: I wrote up an offer on one of my istings, cash deal.
       

         Wednesday: Screened 2 new buyer leads, had an offer accepted on another of my listings.

         Thursday: Negotiating the offer from Tuesday, 2 other offer on our listings were accepted.

       Friday: Remains to be seen...

Could I have accomplished that if I believed our economy /industry /future was in doomed? Probably not, so I choose not to participate in this recession. I chose to keep working every day believing Sellers want to sell, Buyers want to buy and my job is to put them together.
