Are things picking up in Real Estate?

By

I think we all are well aware of this, but it's really a personal thing for each Realtor.  Sometimes we have to expend a tremendous amount of energy to make the right things happen, and of course, in some cases it doesn't take nearly as much. In my case things have been picking up most recently.  A settlement completed this past week and another one to happen in about a month.  So of course the question is what does it take to get a reasonable amount of momentum and activity going? It's ,of course, just as important to figure out how  you maintain it.    Sure it's personal for each of us , and that's the challenge which we all have. Good luck with the "game plan" for your business, and I hope to see you along the way.  Thanks,  Rich Salla, GRI

Rich,  I think we are pulling ourselves out by our bootstraps!  We were doing better due to the stimulus, then it slowed again after the deadline....but,  Buyers are still out there...Yes there are days that they seem awful hard to find.  They are out there.  I don't expect it to be strawberries and cream...actually never was, even in the hottest period of time...we had so many agents that had jumped into the market to "make it".

Rich, personally I'm busy but that's because I have an investor client that is in buying mode right now.  However, I'm not as busy with traditional home buyers as I'd like to be.  And, I think a lot of agents have buried their head in the sand waiting for the market to improve rather than trying to capture what market there is.
