Anyone that works really hard at selling real estate in the Waukesha County market will tell you that everyday they get a reality check, or have to tell a client something, well, sometimes that might not be that easy. Seller: "Why isn't my home selling?" Straight forward agent: "That's because I told you we were competing with lots of homes and we are overpriced. In order for the home to sell we need to have all the stars lining up, then we can get to a successful closing.Your home is still very cluttered and the others are immaculate and are set in a stage where the buyer can visualize and get a concept of what the rooms really lend to." Being positive is crucial in Waukesha County real estate, and being realistic is ever so important.

I see everyday three factors that can hurt a market; The correct pricing of a home, the presence and condition of the home, and the need for both parties of a transaction, and agents, to work in harmony. Always pulling positive thought into the circle, and putting positive thoughts out there goes without saying it can help like crazy. Sometimes killing something with kindness will get you far. Not that I feel like I need to be the obsequious one, but you get what I mean. I can tell you one thing, constant negativism and putting lots of bad thoughts and scenarios has the same draw as the good ones. Make no mistake about it; you can create a self defeating prophecy even before you get going at something. It took a long time to figure out exactly how to use ActiveRain to it's true potential, but it certainly pays off now. Happy sellers and buyers, leads like no tomorrow, and alearning process from some great agents and mentors in the www.activerain.com sector that I truly look up to.

There's an old joke, and kind of crude but it sheds light: A woman is having a hard time figuring out what to give her kids for Christmas, one is a pessimist and the other an optimist. Here friend the psychologist suggests she asks the pessimist what he wants and give it to the optimist, and ask the optimist what he wants and give it to the pessimist. When asked the optimist says "Mom it's hard this year, but maybe a new bike?" The pessimist says "I don't care, a bag of crap for all I care." Come Christmas morning the pessimist is saying "A bike? Great, now I am really going to hurt myself!" Meanwhile, the optimist is digging thru the bag and throwing manure everywhere. "Son, what are you doing,?" asks the mom to which the optimist replies "Mom, there is bound to be a pony somewhere in this bag."

Wishing you a productive day, and see you at closing!
