Are Politics and Gas Prices

Affecting Real Estate Sales?

In a word...

ABSOLUTELY!

When people are uncomfortable, nervous, scared, uncertain...the thing they do best is...

NOTHING!

Which makes a slow economy even slower. I just read the headline on Market Watch:

“Unsold Houses On U.S. Market Hit 23-Year High”

So What Can You Do About It?

Decide that you're going to refuse to participate in the recession. Truth is, it’s not that bad all over. There are markets that are doing fine. Those that adopt this attitude are the winners and survivors who will grow market share while the whiners and doom and gloomers wither away.

• Get CREATIVE! Sitting around passively at an open house, or “Just Listed” or “Just Sold” postcards aren’t going to cut it. Don’t just do what everyone else is doing. Now is a GREAT time to be working with buyers, isn’t it?

• Be BOLD! “Boldness has genius in it.” You’ll neverget the to front of the line by following the crowd.

• Get SMART! Don’t allow your buyers to go to bad loan officers who may screw things up. Work only with the seasoned pros who are in it for the long haul. They are going to stick it out and they are thriving now while so many struggle.

• Do even more to build good, solid, quality, relationships.

Build your list, meet new people and build your circles of influence so that when this crazy election year is finished (and it is the wackiest one I've ever experienced in my lifetime) and people get back to living instead of being pushed around by big media and political pundits, you will be very well positioned for the big rally recovery.

All Good Wishes!
