OMG it’s official: 2011 is half over!!!!It’s July 1 and it’s hard to believe that 2011 is officially half over. And the holiday weekend may be a good time to assess our businesses to see if changes need to be made for the duration of the year.

I for one am very surprised that we are still concluding transactions that started in 2010. It seems like every deal takes forever and is fraught with perils and pitfalls.

Also, listings taken after today will expire in 2012 which is both an election, an Olympic, and a leap year. For whatever reason, I have always preferred even numbered years!!!!

And although we finished the second quarter with a flurry, 2011 has not lived up to expectations so far. We really need to step it if we are going to meet our goals that we set in November. The good news is that it is possible to achieve our expectations, we are just going to have to work harder and smarter for the next six months.

Time flies by and waits for no man. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get back to work!

And we’ll do that just as soon as the holiday is over!

Agreed that 2011 hasn't measured up, and that every transaction takes forever--its gonna make me old!  PS I like even years too.

Wow! Hard to believe. The bummer for me (with 2 teenagers) is that summer is also flying by! Cannot believe that Independence Day is this weekend. I have a ton going on this summer, but made an appointment for early Sept to sit down with my broker to plan the fall and winter strategies I will employ. Great post.

Good morning Richard,

It is official we are through second quarter and half way through 2011. I do think it depends on what part of the country you are in. You are right..transactions are taking longer to close but we are definitely ahead of last year and are exceeding our goals substantially! However it is not time to slack off but to keep our sleeves rolled up and pace ourselves for the finish line 6 months from now! Have a Happy July 4th week-end!

It just goes way too fast. Wish we could slow it down. Can't believe new listings will expire in 2012!

Richard, sorry the first half wasn't as good as you had hoped.  Good luck for a stellar second half!

January and February were terrific, and we looked forward to a great year.   Then someone turned off the faucet in March, April, and May.   How June came through to rescue the year, I'll never know, but so far, it's looking good for the rest of the year (except September - yawn)

Unless we can resurrect a few deals we are way behind the 8 ball!

I was just having this conversation with my partner. Where did the time go? Today is my Grandson's 11 birthday. He was born in 2000!

Wishing everyone a great 4th and a wonderful and prosperous second half.

I've had a weak first half but the potential for the second half is incredible.  I've got indivdual sales lined up that could match everything I sold last year so I'm excited.

This is a great time to evaluate those goals, and business plans to take the appropriate action to meet those year end goals.

Good luck to you!

Richard:

I agree with you.  I have never has such a slow first half of the year.  But the second promises to be much better.
