The Real Estate market in Michigan is not very good right now, there is no disputing that. My company has lost some agents and I'm sure the same thing is happening at other brokers offices. A lot of people are bemoaning the lack of buyers, problems with foreclosures, high listing inventories, the credit crunch and all the other disasters that are befalling REALTORS. It seems you constantly see newspaper articles and TV news spots reporting the problem.
With all this doom and gloom it is easy to be down right now.
But guess what? I'm not going to have it.
I've decided to focus on what is going right.
Thursday is Thanksgiving but I'm going to be thankful right now.
I have a wife, 2 stepchildren, a dog and we are doing all right. My parents, brothers and sisters are too.
Right now there are people overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan who are risking their lives daily so we can have our little problems to deal with. I'm not going to talk about my feelings about the conflicts we are in right now, but I am going to voice my complete support for the troops over there.
I'm going to be with my family on Thursday watching football and getting fat on Thanksgiving dinner. But at some time during the day, I will take a minute of my time to say a prayer for our troops.
The Real Estate business will eventually get back to normal but lets not forget those who sacrifice so that can happen, not just on Thanksgiving, but every day!
