A POSITIVE ATTITUDE PREVAILS FOR LUXURY REAL ESTATE SALES

By
Real Estate Agent with Premier Estate Properties

Fort Lauderdale luxury real estate sales for 2009 have produced my best year-ever! I do not make this statement to toot my own horn, as they say, but to reinforce the fact to my colleagues and to Sellers and Buyers that optimism ruled in what the rest of the world described as a declining real estate market. 

Granted, I worked double-time for this accomplishment, but I chose never to invest a single thought towards the negative hype about a faltering economy. I stuck to my marketing plan. I continued extensive advertising of my superb luxury waterfront listings with patience and persistence while maintaining a positive attitude and working with my clients to achieve their optimum goals. My choice of attitude paid off: 

At year-end 2009, I was awarded Premier Estate Properties' top producing broker award across the entire company. I and my team closed over $37million in luxury real estate over the course of the year.

I am proud of this excellent accomplishment in the face of all the dooming media hype.  Once more, 2010 is off to an excellent start for me with a $2million closed sale this month and two properties pending sale.  2429 Del Lago in Harbor Beach is offered at $6,995M and 2408 North Atlantic Beach is offered at $2,495M. You might like to know that both contracts were negotiated during the holidays!

Some might say I have a "Polly Anna" approach to selling luxury real estate, but I must say my constructive optimism and willingness to think "outside the box" achieved convincing results.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year, and may a positive attitude prevail!

Julie, 

Kudos to you and your team in south Florida.  A positive attitude goes a long way over the "woe is me" option.  It wasn't an easy year, but it was a great year if you took what you knew, worked very hard and kept perspective. 

All the best for 2010!  Michelle
