Special offer

My pulse keep's racing and I don't know why...

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Fort Lauderdale Beach

I am so busy right now, I had to make myself take a day off...

Yes I said, I'm busy.  I went to show one of my listing's Monday at a condo and had two people come out and say..."Are you a Realtor?" They also said to me, "Where did all the Realtor's(R) go?"  I said, "Yes, of course., and for the second question, I don't know!" They each told me their specifics and I made appointments with each of them to come back and help them later in the week.

While I was standing there with my customer, I had two other cars stop buy and ask for my card as well. The street I was on and where my first listing is located is prime  Intracoastal waterways and a fabulous view.  There are so many inexpensive properties, even up to the penthouse at around $300,000.  Yes they need updated, but they are quite large for 2/2's in Florida, 2 blocks from the beach with fabulous views. Great deals...

So, between the 7 new customers I met at my listing Monday, and several customer's who just called and decided the bottom's up and they need to hurry and buy, MY PULSE IS RACING!

Statistically, the South according to the NAR is up 2.7%  - is that all?  I had to make myself take one day off to go to the grocery story, do laundry, tend to my house...

Now, I just hope all these anxious people - other than the 3 cash buyers, have saved some cash and they can qualify...seems to me as though they will be able to, but...who knows...

I still think in the long run the banks will have a surplus amount of money to lend in the long term...

How are all you RE agents, and mortgage people feeling about this...

Lub dub, Lub dub...heart's still tickin' and the heart is racin'....anticipation...I guess...LOL ?-)
