I admit I am very surprised at how early things have picked up this year.  Not necessarily in transactions getting into escrow.  But buyer interest in looking and buying, if not know then later, is really coming in early this year.

I have been busy too the last couple of weeks.  My broker says "Ignore the media and do what you do best; sell real estate."

:) 

With all the snow we have had in New Hampshire, I thought it would be a slow winter -- I was wrong -- I am very busy - I am just praying there are not too many snow storms. This week we are thawing out!  I have a good feeling about 2008!

Ardell,

It's JMO, but these people have waiting for the market to change for over a year...their leases are about to be renewed and they are just tired of waiting. Thanks for posting.

Yes Karen - all attitudes are contagious! So glad you have a good one. February is historically our most active application month and March our most active closing month--every year, year after year. Let's work for a fantastic March and look at the numbers in April and have good, positive report.

Karen,

I never listen to the media. I have been trying to post positive posts about the market for several months...I mean...what does the media know...Are they licensed Realtors(R)?

Joan,

Will you sell my BF's properties....LOL! 

Ken,

That would be fabulous!  I would like to take a week of this spring and go help my parents...sound's good! Let's do it!

Yes, same here, lots of activity over the past few weeks.  Some of my listings are being shown twice in one day!  That's a BIG change!  Every place I go people talk about real estate and always ask me "How are YOU doing in this market?  My answer is always the same "GREAT!".  I then give a small example and ask them if they know anyone buying or selling.  This opens lots of doors!  I take every opportunity to get a lead.  My attitude stays POSITIVE at all times in any market!  That's the name of the road to success!!

Yes it seems when things are good, you feel good, your attitude is good, you smile more and make people feel at ease, it's just contagious.

Joan,

Me too, people are tired of waiting...I mean...does the media ever say anything positive?

Diane,

Isn't it fabulous!  I say the same...positivity is the SECRET to success...don't ever forget it!

John,

Exactly,

It's your attitude that controls the deal, the feelings with your client/customer...if you have confidence and you exude success...they will also feel the Karma...thank's for posting.  Have a GREAT 2008!  I plan to!
