The tortoise and the hare!

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Fort Lauderdale Beach

Well,

Who do we classify in the Real Estate market as the tortoise or the hare?

Geeze,

The tortoise could be:

1. the banks

2. the buyers

3. the sellers

4. the lenders

5. the market

The hare could be:

1. Investors

2. People who are relocated due to jobs

3. People who have to downsize

4. Agents who have to sell properties from the 2005 frenzie

5. Estate sales...

Who is your tortoise and who is our hare...how do you perceive the current market...It's 2008.

Those of you who have any opinion at all, please tell me your view of the market as we start a new year in 2008.

I don't see things in those terms Karen, I simply see things in how I work in my market. Which listings will I take? Under what terms? How can I be of best service to my clients? Am I focused on what a wonderful 2008 I'm going to have? Am I being successful at pushing away any negative thoughts? Am I expressing the gratitude for what I have? And on and on and on.

To answer your question - I am going to have a fantastic 2008.

Simon,

I'm talking so reactions to things versus slow pokes...the tortoise moves slow and the hare moves fast in the decision making process...Is that how you interpreted what I wrote?  Maybe I wasn't clear.

I'm going to have a great 2008 as well...glad we're on the same page there!  :-)

Oh no - I understood what you were saying, my point was I simply don't analyse it because it won't have an effect on me.

Sean, Right!

Simon,

That's OK, I'm sure it won't but it may affect others...then again...I'll work on my MEME, I just did one over the Holidays. I haven't forgotten that you requested it...been busy with closings...:-)
