Negative people are like lint on clothes...you need to brush them off!

This evening, my wife and I went to a cocktail party to rub elbows with Naples best, and of course, most of the comments I heard went like this... "The market is crashing!, or "People are moving out of SW Florida!", or "The mortgage crisis has caused this over inventory..." on and on. lol

Come on people:)

This is all funny to me...

I read the news paper every morning and run market reports on the MLS...

...all I see is how homes are STILL being bought and sold EVERYDAY. Yes, the market has slowed, but there are agents out there that havent swayed from their target gross closed income! Amen to that.

Im tellin ya...I see it...I hear it...I live it!

If the proper business systems are in place, it doesnt matter what the market is doing. Keep on pressing those systems and you will be amazed at how you begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

If you don't hang around negative people, you don't need to brush off their lint. :)

OK, I can say that because I don't hang around my office a lot . . . just kidding . . . but when I do, almost everybody is positive, upbeat and going out to make deals happen. The thing is newspapers tell part of the story -- the story of sellers. In a down market, sellers aren't getting what they expect to get. I propose that perhaps some sellers' expectations are out of whack. On the other hand, buyers are getting terrific deals.

It floors me how buyers can get all excited in a seller's market, pay over market, settle for no inspections or repairs and yet FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE MARKET.

It's always a good market for somebody. The question is for WHOM? Right now, it's buyers.

Hopefully the light at the end of the tunnel is NOT the light of an on-coming train!

Thanks Elizabeth, I agree with you wholeheartedly! Buyers are getting wonderful deals, and have been for almost a year now. Maybe if we got the newspapers to publish ONE positive article we could start to reduce some of this inventory? haha...I WILL hold my breath. Ready? :)

LOL...thats right Mott! We just have to make sure we're on the right track...all traffic in the same direction!
