SO did Swiss Family Robinson for my daughter. We try to encourage her to be as big a reader as we are so this last trip to the library I picked up the 8th Habit by Covey and since we were called out of town on Sunday afternoon-I took it with me-Luckily I am one of those strange people who can read in the car and I did. There's as much to this habit as there was in the 7 habits of highly effective people! I am enjoying it. Just wish I had more time to read.

Heh Texan's, our business is coookin! This week we are seeing 3-4 deals per agent happening. It's almost spring, I guess. The daffodil's have started to bloom and so are our Buyers.  Hope that stays true for your areas too! Nice that Dallas has held it's value and skipped out on the foreclosure crisis. We still need to verify that our comps aren't foreclosures just in case, but for the most part all is well. While I have buyers who are interested in HUD properties, distressed listings and short sales or foreclosures we don't have the abundance that is out there in other areas. Perhaps a listing policy only for the next couple of weeks will pay off nicely with the current abundance of Buyers. Need to maintain the balance somehow.

It is nice to hit the streets with buyers and see what we can find in the way of a deal-with the media hype it does bring the buyers expecting to find deals and the sellers are more prepared for lower offers because of what they have seen on TV. It's so nice to see the office this busy again. If you want to see our agents you not only have to feed them you have to be in all day-they are busy helping everyone moving to the Dallas Suburbs.
