Bob Scheiffer ended his commentary on CBS Face the Nation this morning talking about happiness and how it spreads.  He sited a recent study from BMJ that showed that if one person in a group is happy then it spreads and as much as 34% of the group will be happy too.

Like Bob stated, this news could not have come at a better time.  With all of the hustle and bustle with the Christmas shopping, now's a great time to meet some prospects in your favorite stores and spread some of your happiness and receive some of theirs too! 

While you are out shopping for that perfect gift, don't forget to wear your badge and your smile!    Just do your shopping during the early evenings hours during the weekdays or weekends when the"working people" are going to be doing their shopping too.  

In your conversations, tell a story about a recent closing you had and how your buyers were so happy or about a new listing that you got that made you happy.  People love quick happy stories.  But before your leave the conversation, always mention that you are looking for some new buyers and ask them if they know any that you can call.  This way you can be happier!  

By mentioning the great home values, super low mortgage rates and the $7500 1st-time home buyer tax credit, you are sure to get some leads.  

Tell them that a new house would be the perfect Christmas present this year to help them and so they can help the local economy!  

Make sure that they know that despite the stuff they might have heard in the news, there is plenty of mortgage money to lend as long as the borrowers have a 580 FICO.  

Oh, in case you haven't found that perfect gift for someone on your shopping list, here's a gift I have thoroughly enjoyed from a couple of Christmas's ago.  I highly recommend them for people that need a little more volume or that watch TV while others are sleeping...
