If you were to ask a room full of agents if they ever thought that they would be in this just for the short term.  They would most all respond that is not how they are viewing their business.  But their actions dictate differently. 

Some REO agents have just come about due to this current market.  But they are not doing everything necessary to use this springboard to keep their business growing over the years following this Foreclosure Market.

So with both types of agents, those that were before the current REO market and the ones that are just being made due to this REO market, I would place a bit of attention to them rethinking their operations.

Nothing lasts forever, and just because you are on top currently - I would ask you to take a piece of humble pie and eat it as well.  I am very comfortable with "life" being snuffed out at any moment.  I could just be typing this post and have something in my brain detach causing me to be finished.

( I would just hope my wife would press the enter button )!!! 

I suppose that was the result of being with the LAPD so long and a Current Reserve.  Things do not last forever, and I am one that thinks that we should embrace each and every moment with every ounce of love and compassion we can muster.

So if you take that approach with your business, you will see after a short time, that you will be having contacts present themselves out of no where.  Because they see that you not only preach it, you practice it in everything you say and do.  You become the example of Being Thankful.

Everyone likes Positive and Thankful people.
