I remember last year this time when I said to anyone that would listen, Good riddance to 2007, and welcome 2008! I was ready to move on from a moderately successfull year in Real Estate to what had to be a much better 2008. Well, all I have to say is good riddance to 2008 and welcome 2009!
This past year was a tough one. Fewer buyers were buying and sellers wanted to believe that their home was the only one on the block that increased in value. But you know what, it was a great year to hone my skills and come up with new and better ways to do things!
I was able to learn to produce digital movies for all my listings. I was able to get 3 listings from a new expired program I developed. My networking group added 3 referrals which turned into sales. All in all, not to shabby, except for the fact that I sold less than the year before.
In times when business slacks off, this is when you need to kick in the afterburners! I see too many agents throw their hands in the air and say to all that will listen, I am going to take a break until business gets better. Well, I plan on working hard through the tough times and when business comes back I will be first in line to get the new business.
So, for 2008, a not so fond goodbye. For 2009, I can't wait to see how my newly acquired skills serve me in the new year! So to all of you taking a break until business comes back, get out there now! You can help the business come back! For all of us who never stopped pushing...Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!!
