When you hear nothing but negative things about the Real Estate market, think positive. Even when things have slowed and there is more foreclosures happening, that just means that you have an opportunity to make a good deal for your clients. Better price and terms maybe. For the buyer it means more selection, better prices, and if the agent is working on it a great package deal all around. Even in the times of tightening loan guidelines, there is quite a few great programs for almost any buyer. Credit does not need to be perfect to get a good loan.
Remember that our profession is based on a business that moves in cycles. It will get better. You as a person have to just hold on and believe that it will work out. Focus on your positive things happening in your life and try not to dwell on the slow in business. Our new agents have an advantage over the agents that have started in the last three years in that they will never take for granted the market being good. They will have survived a slow cycle and make sure to plan for the next one. So in an attempt to look at the positive I submit the following.
This month we currently have five offices in Claifornia to better serve our clients. We have two new agents in the Red Bluff office. A big welcome to Kacy and Kristina. We also have three more agents soon to be full members and licensed as agents.
On a personal note April and May have ROCKED. Our oldest son (and soon to be Homelink agent) and his lady presented us with our first gradchild, a boy. Our next eldest son turned 18 will graduate in June and has already passed his state exam and is awaiting his license to start work. My youngest son made the rank of Life in Boyscouts and is now working on his Eagle (he is only just turned 14), and our youngest child, our daughter is also doing great in school and is making great advancements in her riding ability on her horse. So even when the market is down you can have some great things happen in your life.
Keep the faith, it will work out. Any comment is welcome. Post you "Happy Thought" to help others realize the world has not ended it is just another swing in the cycle.
