By: Robert J. Pliska, CRE, CPA
Investment, residential and commercial real estate has been very trying in the last few years. An area that may help you as a real estate owner, investor and/or broker/advisor is to improve your attitude and your mental psych as we begin the road to recovery. A way to do this is to latch on to a few quotes that you feel appropriate to keep your enthusiasm up, provide momentum to get through a crisis, add a little humor to a difficult situation, use to close the next deal, provide impetus for a good return on your investment and any other way you see appropriate.. This has helped many as investment and commercial real estate advisors and owners. After all, history has shown that many have gone through worse battles than we have experienced and they found a way to be positive and have the will and perseverance to continue forward and eventually achieve success.

This is Part III. Attached are a few recent additional quotes noted on Twitter that may assist you in maintaining a positive attitude and provide the will to continue forward for investment and sales success in investment, residential and commercial real estate. They all seem to have some relevance to real estate or success in some way. I am sure all of us can and will come up with many, many more.
