It is the end of the year and several things start happening in our business.
There is always a sudden spurt of business during the last couple of weeks of the year. This phenomenon is hard for us to understand. It is almost too late to buy something and close by December 31st in order to take advantage any eligible tax write-offs from the transaction for the year. Closing in early January won't result in a tax related benefit until April 09'. Nevertheless buyers do start making offers in a year end "mini frenzy" each and every year. I don't know what it is.
Secondly many agents have to pay their annual Dues to their associations. For some this is a hefty amount to dish out and may not be easy for them to come up with. Others just view it as a cost of doing business take it in stride and go about their routine. Do you set a little aside each year to take care of this annually reoccurring expense? It sure is an easy bullet to bite if you do .
