The answer to just about every other person's question to me these days is, "yes, we ARE staying busy!" Even when 5000+ other agents have fallen out of the business in WA State this year, we are still thriving and hopefully now growing even more than before. I'm working on bringing in an additional agent to work with us in our residential business and we're very close to having a contract in place. We are also about to begin working with a long time Seattle area builder to help him get his brand better known and provide a consistent message across their product lines. It's all exciting news.
Add to that the fact that we are now also involved in a great investment group called Done Deal Solutions which helps homeowners who are in short sale positions, we've got a LOT going on. If you know someone who is in need of these kinds of services, please feel free to forward them to us for a review of their situation. We may be able to purchase the home and work out the negotiations with the bank to allow for the sale. For agents having trouble negotiating these kinds of transactions on their own, we can help with negotiating the deals with the bank for a fee. This frees up agents to put their valuable time into other clients during the long period it usually takes to make these deals work - a good way to help a client and not have your regular business negatively impacted by putting an inordinate amount of additional time in one deal. DDS works in about 14 states so you don't have to be a WA agent to contact me and ask if we can perhaps help you and your client.
Besides all of this activity, we are also humming along with new listings on a pretty regular basis and buyer clients are beginning to come out of the fear level that has permeated the market for the past several months. Just this weekend we got 2 new contracts under way - both for sellers of ours, but I was also showing houses all weekend from Gig Harbor to Snohomish.
Things just keep pumping along and I think we're close to breaking wide open with new opportunities!
