Shift

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Preferred Properties

I lived through the seasonal shift, someone should have warned me about the economic shift.  This long drawn out, quick sand feeling, market that we are coming out of. I am looking around me and there are deals being done, people are buying, and selling and it seems that there are agents that have an unfair share of the market - why not me!  Why not because no one told be I had to build a book of business, until now, no one said lead with revenue, until now, no one said save for a raining day, until now.  Oh wait a minute, they did I just wasn't listing.  Well I am listing now and I am skill building and looking for mentors and requiring some quid pro quo from people who've been getting my business.  It's a new day and it's bright and sunny and it's raining money, and I am getting my unfair share.  Happy House Hunting.

Hi Veera,
I don't know how long you have been in the business, but every business has a cycle. We are currently in a down cycle which I prdicted would happen in 2004. The cycle will level off towards the middle of 2009 and after that it will sart up ever so slowly. So, now is the time to learn and be ready for the upturn.

Do you currently have any listings or prspects? Do you advertise yourself? Do you have a web site? Do you do mailings? Do you call withdrawn and expired listings? If the answers are all yes, then they will come to you.

These are some ways to start. Stay with it.
