The Media is not the culprit...   The Ostrich Syndrome in full swing...  Your opinion please!

A lot has been written about the media giving us too much bad news.  As an immigrant from a communist country, I have extraordinary appreciation for the media of the free world. 

Our economy is what it is.  The intrepid agents will find ways to cope with the current market conditions.  I have seen a lot of amazing recipes for success on this very site, and I am immensely thankful for this remarkable world of ActiveRain. 

Some have suggested that we should refute the media consensus.  Why?  All they do is report the truth.  I knew the market was tanking way before the media picked up on it, and my investors all benefited from that insight.  Good agents will find a way to navigate these uncertain seas with unique new services, products and marketing innovations.  The same old things don't work anymore.  Inserting a listing into the MLS no longer gets much of a result; the listing gets buried in a deluge of other properties.   

What an exciting time this is!!!   You actually have to work your listings...  You have to learn new things.  Invent new ways!  Observe!  Learn!  Grow!  Be creative!  Network!  Study!  Embrace new ways!  Grow technologically!  Educate yourself!

  A down market is a great thing for the savvy investor!   Make the best of it!  By the time the media catches on to the market swinging upwards, it's already too late.  Buy while the market is still moving down.  As long as you are buying on the downturn, you will do well.  Don't wait to see signs of the upturn, for it will be too late... 

The "herd mentality" brought prices to unrealistic new levels in many hot areas of the country.  The same areas are now hurting in a unique, new way...  Learn from that!  Train your Buyers!  Donald Trump is buying, why shouldn't you?

What a great time for buying Real Estate this is!!!   So, shut up and sell!  ...But do tell me what you are doing differently that works for you in this market!
