Alexander Graham bell said it best " “When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”
There is so much truth to that quote we should not be dwelling on the negative and the things we can't control in our lives, we should focus on the opportunity and new pathways in life.
The Door Closed in the Real Estate Market
Many doors closed are present now in the Real Estate Market.
- We are in a Recession
- The Market is Terrible
- Too Many Foreclosures
- Negative Press
- Etc Etc Etc (The Point is moot anyways)
Too much Negativity is present and all it will ever do is breed more negativity. Its a poison, if you believe it then it must be true, the flip side to that is if you believe in positive things, then it must be true as well. Which would you rather believe?
We can't change the closed doors, lets not dwell on that, lets think outside the box and focus whats really important right now, and thats the present and future.
The Open doors in the Real Estate Market
As with many closed doors in the market, there are as many if not more, open doors.
- The Market will always find a way to correct itself
- People will always still buy/sell houses and refinance REGARDLESS of the press/media.
- With every negative press there are POSITIVE news out there, yes its easier to find the negative news because its more exciting to the ratings, but if you actually stop and smell the roses, you will find people still sharing POSITIVE news out there, don't believe me check out this Activerain group here and here
- and finally....the biggest door opener
Here is the BIGGEST door opening and opportunity!!
- So what we have foreclosures...with foreclosures we have NEW and MORE 1st time home buyers because of this. You can look at this as either the glass half full or half empty. The glass half full is seeing GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES instead of a loss.
Yes there will always be things in life that may seem like a setback or trouble but its our own point of view that can find opportunities in any given situation instead of conforming to failure.
So open that door with full force and look at the glass half full, and make things happen!

I think there are a LOT of opportunites here for forward-thinking agents. You make some good points, and I agree that it's all in your perspective, or outlook.
