This has been a year of firsts for me. I finally experienced a listing go to expired and not be relisted then sold. I have had three listings go expired this year. Three more are set to expire on January 1st.
I have also fired a listing this year. Yep, pulled my sign and lock box for sellers non performance. It felt good, but it's still a bad sign.
This year I have also walked away from more listings than I have taken due to unrealistic seller expectations.
I want to get back to a market that isn't tumbling weekly.
2008 is a new year. I have already experienced positive things that point to the next year being a great year. The firsts that I have experienced in 2007 have made me a better Realtor. The fact that I am still here is a great testimony while 40-45% of my colleagues are working some where else. Cream rises to the top. Those who didn't prospect, hold high standards, and ethics are now out of our way. When we experience a full upward market swing, those that are left will be better for all the new things that 2007 taught us.
Have a great year everyone. I know I am looking forward to it!
