Ready to answer those questions? Uncle Joe will ask, so will cousin Mary. You'll likely get to address the sub-groups and the full group at least once.

Now I'm not suggesting you will be facing the Great Inquisition but your family may be looking for some re-assurance and some hope. Better yet your cocky bro-in-law might be looking to outbid you for top performer in the family. Not that any of you are into that stuff.

I wonder how many of us will say, "Oh this industry is just falling apart. I don't know when it will get better. I've been thinking about getting out of this business."
Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could say, "We really saw a bit of a mess but we were prepared for it. And many areas are already looking a bit stabilized. The good news is a recent NAR 'new survey clearly shows that people believe in the value of homeownership and know that owning a home is one of the best ways for most families to build a nest egg.'"
Be encouraging based on facts. Your family has heard enough misleading numbers and fear. I am not saying do not be truthful - I am encouraging you to know the facts and use them in your answers. The media has done a fine job of skewing the entire industry negative for the last several years. They don't need our help.
Save me a wing!
