I'd been pretty busy the prior few months to the holidays and then it was just...slower. I actually slept in yesterday morning until 6am. WOW. I lay in bed gazing at our ceiling and thinking that I don't have to jump out of bed.....YET. I have two appointments scheduled for morning for a seller and a buyer and had morning thoughts about the last couple of months.
As in most parts of the country the period after the holidays...or maybe after winter is done.... the housing market starts to pick up. Our market seems to be picking up and I thought about how I utilized my time during the calm period.
Okie Dokie then. I thought about all the things I needed to do before the ‘storm' hit. During the last couple of months I did work on and/or completed a few tasks and this just may just give you a couple of ideas on what you can work on during your down time too.
- ‘Cleaned out' my pc of unwanted pictures, video files and outdated information. (this is an ongoing process so I have more that built up within the last month J) I try and do this regularly every two to three months.
That Pre Listing PowerPoint file is still a work in progress J Some of you may use a pre lisiting packet and it may come in handy for me for those clients who are just not ready ....yet.- Updated my Listing Presentation file (and using it on my listing appointment this morning) although this is a constant work in progress as each property is different and mine include a comprehensive CMA with graphs, maps etc for the comparable listings.
- Updated my Buyer and Seller brochures and at one point wiped out the whole thing and decided I'm going to complete these new ones (rather than updated ones J)
- Got caught up with updating my www.hawaiihomesmarket.com website and added a community tour on the home page. I did a revamp (with a little help from a wonderful friend) and the pages and links are cleaner, crisper and are all MINE. J
- Updated my Military BAH chart for 2011 and added to my website and buyer's folders. I also cleaned up my "Military New Client" folder to include all up to date information for those military clients that are relocating to Hawaii.
- Wrote more posts for ActiveRain and managed to hold a Positive Attitude for the Weary Soul contest....which by the way was a success! Remember, keeping up to date on your blog will serve it's purpose in showing consistency and up to date info!
Okay, this list is getting pretty long although I think you all get the jest of this. There is always plenty to do to get in gear for that mad rush that's going to hit this year.
"Predictions for 2011" kept me busy and productive.
I'll keep a positive attitude...And keep reminding myself that balance...
...hard work, dedication and consistency is key to success.
There are good storms....right?
