It's already the middle of November and we're approaching the slower season within the Real Estate Industry...oh wait...we hit that three months ago! Maybe you've completely checked out for the rest of the year or maybe you've completely checked out of the industry and took a job tending bar at the local pub where you used to be a regular patron...hopefully not. We all knew this day was coming and prayerfully you sacked away some dough for the next six months or so while we continue to drag our knees and knuckles on the very hot asphalt here in California and throughout the South Bay and Los Angeles County.

I feel compelled to comment briefly on the crazy reactionary attitudes and outlooks most locals in our industry are conveying. Everyone is talking doom and gloom. I look at it as a short pause and time to reflect and prepare your house for the season ahead and seasons to follow. We enjoy a comforting semi-insulation within the South Bay and Southern California in general. People will always continue to move as far west as possible and because of this one simple fact...we will bounce back quicker than the rest of the nation.

That being said let's take a moment to be thankful for the abundant times we've enjoyed the past five years and keep a realistic and positive mind to the future. Use this time to regroup and launch a new you and a new look to your business for 2008. The days of mediocrity are over and you will no longer be tripping over business and falling into escrow after escrow. These times will be dependant on creative thinking and heavily dependant on technology. You'll have to continue your high touch, high visibility approach, but if you haven't ramped up on taking your business to the next level online you're going to be toast. Over 80% of the public goes to the Internet first before doing anything else when looking for real estate and lets face it...we're in a Seller vs. Seller market which makes buyers and buyer leads extremely valuable! Don't miss the boat folks. Check out my new FREE eBook on "Unlocking The Mysteries Of Internet Marketing For Realtors." Anyone in our industry or any other industry can apply what's in it to GROW their business, however everything we teach and talk about to our clients with regards to generating leads online is in there. If you find it valuable and helpful please feel free to leave a SUPER TESTIMONIAL me.

We have much to be thankful for and I'd like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for making our online presence such a strong one. It's been a great journey coupling our regular "Old School" business plan with the "Next Generation" of business plans. If you'd like help with your future business plan don't forget to give us a call or email us today! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and say a prayer for our troops here and abroad.

Thankfully,
