"Prepare for Rain."

By
Home Inspector with Cartier Fine Home Inspections, LLC

It was to hot to go outside yesterday so I took out my DVD of "FACING THE GIANTS" and popped it in the DVD player as I  worked on letters and emails. I was fortunate to be able to see this movie premier in Montgomery, Alabama some time back. I highly recommend this movie.

There is an illustration of two farmers during a draught. One sat around wating for rain and the other  prepared his fields for rain. The old gentleman, in the movie, asked the Coach, who felt as if he were a failure and had lost all hope, "Which one are you?".

I ask you all this same question, "Which one are you?"

When the Housing Market picks up, I'm gona to be ready! How many ears of corn come from one seed? How many seeds come from one stalk?

Hang in there! Prepare for rain! Plant a seed everyday!

One of my favorite verses is Psalm 81:10: "Open your mouth wide and I will fill it."  You can't fill a bucket that is turned upside down and your sitting on it waiting for rain.

 Just thinkin,

I totally agree...the end of the "slump" is coming.  This is what weeds out the strong from the week.  In the past most were able to just be a real estate agent and survive...now that they have to make it happen many are moving on.

If we could make it "on slow market" we could make it any markets... The best is now to come... When?????

Don't know? If it were "EASY", it wouldn"t be called "WORK." Prepare for rain. Survival of the fittest is not a new concept. We all want the other fellow to quit and reduce the competition. I do not have any answers for the market but I can plant seeds.

I guess I've been lucky. "My market" has picked up.

Congratulations! I'm planting seed everyday.

This is what I found while inspecting a home on Monday.
