How to attract motivated buyers and sellers

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Sandra Nickel REALTORS

I've often heard it said that the toughest real estate you'll ever manage is the 6 inches between your ears.

And yesterday, at a presentation by Steve Murray of RealTrends, I heard it put another way: Succeeding in a down or challenging market depends not only on your skill sets but even more importantly on your mindset!

Consumers are looking for positive news from positive people. So find the good in your market and talk it up! You'll be an irrestible magnet to those who really want to buy and really want to sell.

And, like a magnet, we're hoping to attract all your Montgomery Alabama referrals!

Thanks--we appreciate you!

Sandra, I agree.  People want to associate themselved with positive people.  I look at the people in my office who are negative and they can't write a piece of business.  I have a positive attitude and am swamped.

That is so true...attitude is everything.  If we could just get the media to "give it a rest", I think the public's attitude would improve.  Thanks for the post.

Sandra, ever since our first StarPower conference a few years ago, we have been "accentuating the positive" in our business and personal life. It works!

That one way to look at it. I guess you can find a positive spin to just about everything. Thanks for ideas and suggestions.

Every day we have a choice:  be down or be up.  My mantra is keep my head down and my attitude up!
