"Where have you been?"; asks one fellow Active Rain member. Yes It's quite obvious I have not been posting much in the past few weeks. Why you ask? Because I have been VERY busy! 
Many Realtors see summer as a slow time of the year. A time for vacation and working 1/2 days. A time when less Buyers are buying and fewer sellers are selling -- well that may not be the case now - there are plenty of listings to keep Realtors busy; but with no buyers; what is one to do?
Well I have not been on vacation; I have been selling! In the past week I have ratified 2 new buyer contracts; taken 2 new listings and wrote a lease on a rental property I have listed. Plus several other buyers I have spoken with and begun the home search process with.
Summer may mean less buyers; but it can also be a great time for buyers to get a deal. With so much inventory and those homes that are on the market getting fewer and fewer showings; the serious sellers will and do drop their price.
That is just what the serious buyer is waiting for...
So here's to a successful summer! It may be all work and little play - but don't worry; I have some nice vacations planned for when the colder weather heads to our Nations Capitol!
