WOOHOO! You wanted it you got it Toyota. This is one of my favorite sayings. I love technology and especialy how it has impacted the real estate industry.
However, between the podcast, web2.0 world and blackberry it seems we just can't get away from the negitive junk that is filling our gray matter.
I am not saying that being informed is a bad thing. I just think to much is a bad thing. Like most of you I wake up grab my laptop and start at it. Most of the time before my coffee is ready my home screen pops up and there it is the NEWS. I have been looking at what they put up there for a few months with details about what it is they like to put on the front page to make it sticky. You got it Bad News. Well, I have had a gut full of this and so, I chanlleged my local chapter of the Women's Council of Realtors and my Company Texas Sold Team Realty to email our local editors of the 2 major papers in the area here in Dallas Fort Worth. I now want to challenage all of you to do the same.
Each time you close a deal email your newspapers and or tv station and tell them you have sold another client a home. Now, I understand it is very slow in some parts, but you can't tell me there are no properties being sold. I look at my local board Metrotex and honestly there are a lot of properties being sold. Sure, not it the unusual marker we had before where it was out of control but reasonable people buying reasonable properties are still out there.
We as Realtors are not a dying breed we are here the goods ones are still in business by helping good people with good credit, a job and a means to own a home do so. I just think if enough of us tell those who seem to think be are drying up and blowing away think again. This goes for the good mortgage brokers out there too. So, they think they have kicked us to the curb like we did something wrong, well most of us did not do anything wrong. I don't know one of my clients that have gone into foreclosure or at least not to my knowledge. I would not allow my team to sell crap with crappy loans to those who trusted us to be honest and fair with them. I think that most of the Realtors I know still in the business did not do any or much of that either that is why they are still in business. Because no matter where and what the marketing trends are. It is tried and true the best business you will ever have is your referrals.
Keep up the good work out there and tell those who enjoy the bad news the good news you have. Time to fight bad so they wanted it they got it Toyota.
Have a wonderful holiday season and make today the Best you ever had and all the tomorrows that follow.
