As agents and the country come to a slower time of the year because of Christmas and holidays, nope - not for me. In fact, I love this time of the year to really set pace to my following year sending it off to a great start.
Nope, no time for holiday planning and neither do I have time to wrap Christmas gifts just yet. What I realized over the years is that the last 2 weeks is my most productive time of the year in terms of planning and at the same time, I get uninterrupted time with no showings hardly at all as well as the phones do tend to ring ALOT less.
Most of the country is on vacation and that's a great thing.
I love cheating and these last 2 weeks, I'll be cheating MUCHO. Always a great head start to practise the things I want to work on (on a new schedule for 2010).
I also noticed that January and February - the coldest months of winter are also the time when people typically make a housing decision for the year. Those that want to buy and sell will start considering it in January - long before they actually make contact with an agent 2 to 6 months later.
My observations over the years have been - by January and February, I would know how my year would go. I hope you noticed it too.
If you start giving yourself a fresh start in January after the holidays, you might already be 2 months behind.
LOOK - The play clock is down to the final 2 minutes.
Are you going to play as if it was a TIE - that the last 2 minutes will decide how your game/ year will end?
