Continued Education, while the market is slower take advantage of the time! Just don't give uP!!!

Now more than ever the more informed you are about Real Estate the better.  Things are changing so fast that any class or Lic you can get is very valuable.  I just applied for and received my NC Real Estate Lic for NC.  As a SC Realtor I felt that since I deal with properties that connect with NC ( we live within 15 mile of the state line) that this would be a assets to me. You would not believe the properties that are located in 2 sates!  Last year a parcel of property had 2 address on in SC and one in NC, it was cut in half!  I am taking classes to make sure I know what is going on in the world of Finance and Real Estate, during the slow time.  Like everything being ahead of the game will help you in the long run.  Don't let the slow time get you down, do what you can to pay the bills and use the extra time for Education, you will use this information when the market comes back!  The market is coming back slowly, and if we as professionals are on top of changes we will be more valuable to our clients! My son is a freshman this year in collage and we tell him Education is top priority in getting ahead in the job market today, so I feel I must practice what I preach, and set a example to my kids.  If you feel Real Estate just isn't your game anymore, is there a way you could take your education and build on it towards something else.  Motivation and prayer will get us through this tough time.  Just don't give up! Trust God there is a plan for you! Times are tough, but we can't sit back and let it get us, fight back and do something for yourself!
