Memorial weekend slowdown

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Micoley & Company

As I'm sitting in my office and finishing the workday I see a mass of cars heading north for the vacation weekend.  The market always shifts to a slowdown over holidays, which allows for a great time to work on things that we'd often be too busy to work on as agents.  Some of the things I'll be working on this weekend and that may serve as great reminders for you include:

-Updating my business plan and making sure I'm in-line with my goals that I've set earlier in the year.

-Reading at least one real estate related book.  I've found that a lot of agents don't read material related to their profession, which gives those who do a competitive edge.  The two books I plan on reading this break are: "Awaken the Giant Within" by Anthony Robbins, and "Swim with the Sharks without being Eaten Alive" by Harvey Mackay, both have been given great ratings so I should learn something from each of them.

-Organizing my desk!  It tends to get messy at times so I'll be spending time reorganizing the mounds of paper that have found their way onto my desk.

Other than that catching up on some paperwork while enjoying the weather will be the extent of my holiday weekend.  Hope you enjoy yours as well!

Best,

Ryan Schmitz
