Calm amidst the stormThe New Year has started out in typical fashion. There are plenty of deals being detoured that need to be guided back on track.

The “it’s the holidays” excuse has already worn thin, and it’s time to rally the troops and get back to the business at hand.

Some of the issues are totally out of my control. The system for purchasing HUD homes is on the verge of collapse. REO owners all of a sudden can’t locate their deeds of ownership. Tenants are staying in the homes past their agreed on date to vacate.

I can’t change those things, but I can continue to be an island of calm amidst the storm.

It’s my job to hold things together in spite of everything.

And although it’s nerve-wracking at the same time it is also quite exhilarating!

Richard, I feel that way as well!  Yesterday was just such a day in my world.  There's no reason to jump up and down and scream about things we cannot control, we just have to deal with it in the best possible way and find a way to make it work! 

Happy New Year!

I totally agree with that - I have never understood the drama queens (or kings) who feel the need to stir the pot and get their clients upset unnecessarily.  It's bad business for everyone!  You have it right.

Richard, Our life is a bit calmer, no REOs, no tenants, but still, the agents have to be the calming influence, not the lighter fluid!

Richard, I know how hard it is for me when things that are out of my control are spinning wildly out into outer space.... but the key is to at least make them think you are calm, and not let them see you drooling on your sleeve.

I totally agree. I always have thought that the only thing I CAN control is myself, how I conduct my business and my attitude, which always pays off in the long run!

If we can't control ourselves and our business, then there's not much we'll be able to accomplish.

So very true...and when I started to think that way it became a whole lot easier!!!   Sometimes I think agents come off so desparate that our clients sense it and that is not a good thing!

Richard, control the things you can in real estate, and let the other stuff go. Sounds like you are well on your way to handling things properly...

You are right sir there are things that we cannot change BUT we can remain calm under the pressure and be a guiding light for our buyers.
