Hello? Anyone Out there? -Mason County Group

Managing Real Estate Broker with Windermere Peninsula Properties~Allyn~Belfair~WA 73708

I haven't heard from a lot of the other realtors in the county as of late. Maybe it's because business is slower therefore we do not have as much interaction with each other. Or is it because everyone is SOO busy there has not been much time to connect with others?

I know that there is a meeting tomorrow for the Mason County Association of Realtors at the Bistro in LakeLand Village in Allyn at noon. Is everyone going to be there? Maybe that is where we need to start getting back in communication with each other by all of us going and supporting the association. It will also allow us to see some the people we have not seen in a while I am sure! I know I find that if I don't go out and find people they don't always come find me and it would be like sitting in the closet.... Got to network with EVERYONE and that includes your associates and affiliates and friends.

What are we hearing with our affiliates?  Is there business up or down? Are they seeing things improve? Are their programs out there (this is for those lenders) that we don't know about?

And I just KNOW that we are ALL working on next years business plan!   OH and we need a picture logo for this group - anyone have a fitting picture for the group? 

I've heard in the past that things come to Washington and our area late compared to the rest of the country- things such as fashions, music, ideas (such as Active Rain)...etc  do you agree?

I am not in your county but in your state- GO WA!!

I have seen a decline in realtor activities in our area for sure. I think because of the slowed economy, agents are either working harder, therefore have not time to socialize with other realtors, or they are doing other things to supplement their incomes for the time being. It's probably safe to say that there's a good mix of both.

Best of luck in Mason Co. Kind County is moving along.. slowly.. but we're moving ;)

Nicole- Thank you so much for responding!  I see a lot of agents out there from everywhere and thought this would be a good way to bring  alittle more local as well - sometimes we feel so out of touch - (big County) and you are a close county and loving hearing about our areas nearby -especially since we do get a lot of buyers from your area because of recreational, waterfront etc.  Our market usually sees a lot of retirees and 2nd home purchases from your area.

Valerie, Our ever faithfull Diana (happy birthday to her) has sent an E mail to our associates to make the Friday meeting. I have been hearing rumors about the struggle some agents are experiencing i.e. letting license go on ice, not able to make payments on marketing bills and cutting back.

We on the other hand, who are active in communication and continuing to market our businesses are still listing, working with buyers, taking a positive and know we can weather this down turn. I have seen 3 or 4 these type of markets and experience has shown me that it will turn around...people have to live somewhere and it might as well be in  Washington and Mason County.
