So let's look at some really big numbers.

Stock market has lost over 20% since Obaba took office. Unemployment numbers are at the highest level in decades with over 12 million people out of work.

The housing market is in the toilet with the New York Times reporting today that across the nation, 19 million houses and apartments - nearly one out of every seven - are vacant, the highest percentage since the 1960s.

But only about six million of those homes are for sale or for rent. That means millions more could still flood onto the market, depressing prices further.

If that isn't enough we also got more numbers in various reports that said one in nine mortgages was delinquent or in foreclosure, while another showed that January contract signings for sales of previously owned homes fell at their fastest pace in two years!

Then we hear from the NAR that hundreds of thousands of agents are leaving the business and we feel that those numbers are actually conservative.

So it does make me wonder how many of the 700 who applied for the janitor's job in Ohio were Realtors. Bad time to be a Realtor or investor..hardly! 

Are you seeing the opportunity in this market? Are you seizing the profit centers that are abundant in today's real estate market? Why not? IF you are not having your best months ever then there is something really wrong.

Wow...ain't it great? I mean we are in the midst of the GREATEST REAL ESTATE MARKET EVER and most agents don't realize it or know how to take advantage of it! I've said it before and I'll say it again. J.D. Rockefeller said it and it is oh so true..."the time to buy is when blood is running through the streets!"

Banks are being super aggressive in approving short sales yet all I hear from so many Realtors is that they are having a tough time making ends meet. Whose fault is that?

If you are not properly educated in how to proficiently execute short sales then you are leaving a lot of money on the table. It's now March and we're nearing the end of the first quarter of 2009. If you wanted to make $150,000.00 this year you would need to have made $37,500 in net commissions by March 31st.

Are you on target to have $37,500.00 of banked commissions by March 31st. What if I told you that we have student clients who are generating that kind of income MONTHLY doing short sales?

What if you could see a $20,000 or $30,000 monthly commission check? Would that make you realize that there are tons of opportunities out there?    

In even a lower priced market of $200,000 homes that's only 5 or 6 closings for you to get to that level. Do you think if you actually became proficient at short sales that there is enough inventory for you to generate 4-6 deals per month?

If you don't...then see the beginning of this article. It's simply the best real estate market ever and if you aren't seizing these opportunities then you are truly missing the proverbial boat.

Okay so you're hurting. I understand...I don't want you in line applying for a janitor's job. I don't want to see you leave the business. I don't want you to rely on the government bailing you out. I want to see you succeed. I want to see you thrive, not just survive and I send you this email today to let you know success and prosperity are right there...I mean right there in front of you.

You simply need to reach out and take it. Stand up, dust yourself off and tell yourself you WILL see a huge commission check in the next 30 days and every month thereafter.

Stop listening to naysayers. Get off the social networks where everyone is lamenting. You have yourself and your family to answer to. Not some wannabe blogger telling you to work your SOI and to list..list..list!

That's an outdated methodology and you'll be working at Walmart or sweeping floors if you listen to that bunk.

Ok times are tough. What are you going to do about it. What you do in the next couple of weeks could determine where you end up at the end of the year.  

I know you got into this business because you wanted to succeed...not flounder. Ok times are tough. What are you going to do about it. What you do in the next couple of weeks could determine where you end up at the end of the year.
