When NO Does NOT Mean no! I do a lot of reading to help grow my business and hopefully, help you expand yours.  The following article was written by Tom Hopkins, long regarded as one of the top Real Estate Trainers in the world.  Hope you enjoy! “Awhile back, I heard about a super salesperson who was extraordinarily successful prospecting by telephone. She seemed to have a real knack for it, even though she was fresh out of college - having no previous sales experience.  The company's other salespeople had targeted a list of high-profile potential clients and had been calling repeatedly month after month without success. This young woman was given an opportunity to work through the same list.  Almost immediately, the young woman began to get confirmations for the salespeople to make pre...

                                           You Have The Power!   “Next to life itself, the power to choose is your greatest gift.” –Stephen Covey You cannot choose what happens to you. And trust me, God makes it rain on the just and the unjust so you are not the only person in the world who experiences tough situations. How you choose to respond to those situations is what makes your life better or worse. YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE BY YOUR CHOICES, NOT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES. The essence of being human is you get to direct your own life. Even genes and environment or upbringing are not an excuse. You don’t choose your genes, but you choose how you react to them. Heart attacks are prominent in my bloodline, my father died of a heart attack at 40. But I can CHOOSE to eat healthy, CHOOSE to exercis...

As we all enjoy this beautiful Labor Day holiday, experienced Realtors are  busy working the Fall 2014 Real Estate market in Fairfield. I glanced at the MLS this morning, and there were already 464 single family homes on the market.  Second quarter 2014 was already the busiest second quarter in recent memory, and I believe the third quarter data will also be equal or better than 2013. Why? More inventory. The bump in inventory will also stem the price rises: the Median 2nd qtr. sales price for a Fairfield home was $597,000 - versus $530,000 for the same period in 2013. Dollar volume for the year to date was up 13% over 2013. I am expecting the third quarter data to show a much lower price increase, followed by a similar trend in the fourth quarter.  What does this mean for buyers and se...
