National Slumps Are Statistical / Personal Slumps Are Optional

 

National Slumps Are Statistical / Personal Slumps Are Optional.  The National Association of REALTORS® say sales of existing homes dropped 27%! They keep the statics, I believe them.

So what? National Slumps Are Statistical / Personal Slumps Are Optional. You've got two choices You can join the masses of lemmings, wring your hands, and shout the sky is falling! Or, you can work harder and simply not participate!

Simply not participating sounds overly simplistic, but it works! Sales are down 27% means that some one is going to sell 67% of the number of homes sold last month. 10% unemployment means 90% are still working!

67%, 90% those are overwhelming majorities!

27%, 10% are a huge problem if you're among them. I am sympathetic to those participating through no fault of their own. But, salesmen have a choice! Salesmen control their own destiny!

Real estate salesmen have the advantage, because every one has to live some where. Real estate salesmen have the advantage because they're not making any more real estate, but they've not stopped making people! In fact with more time available those unemployed are either deliberately or inadvertently making more people as you read this.

It is said that 20% of the salesmen sell 80% of the real estate witch means that for most salesmen there won't be much change. Others say it's 10% of the salesman that sell 90% of the homes. In a slump I believe the latter. Slumps always affect the least qualified among us the hardest!

Chose not to participate! National Slumps Are Statistical / Personal Slumps Are Optional.There is always more than one way! Learn the alternatives. Know what can be done! Other salesmen's slumps are the best opportunity in real estate!

The slump means prices are down. Rates are at record lows to help stimulate sales. You have a choice participate in the stimulation or the slump!

Your comfort box is not a protective hard hat.
