Good morning!
I had an interesting day of work yesterday. Well, it was probably interesting on several levels, but I will focus on the work side this morning…
I had two of the homes I had listed for sale come off the market without selling…
That rarely happens to me. Honestly, most of my listings sell quite quickly, often the first weekend they are on the market…
This wasn’t the case with these two homes. One got very few showings. The other got a whole bunch of showings, but no contract offers. Both were on the market for several months, and probably weren’t going to sell at the price they were at…
Either way, both came off the market without selling. I think the sellers were tired of the process. And I understand. Keeping your home ready for sale for several months can be draining…
So I canceled the listings, and felt a boost of energy. I was actually a bit surprised at how good it felt...
You see, losing two listings in one day would probably be worrisome to most agents. And there was a time it would have been bothersome to me…
However, I am looking at things differently over the last several months. A healthier attitude…
I believe things happen for a reason. I know that they do…
And sometimes you need to clean out your closet to make room for your new beautiful clothes…
And yesterday, I cleaned out the “closet” of my real estate business…
I freed up my own mental energy. Opening myself up to new things, new people, new opportunities, and at the end of the day, new homes to sell…
Sometimes the “stuff” we hold on to so desperately in life takes up space that could be used for better things. This is true with our habits, our relationships, and life in general…
So take a look at the closet in your life. Are you holding on to something that you would be better off to let go?
I know I do that. I think we all probably do. And sometimes it feels so good to let go…
Have an awesome Friday!
Ken
