Failure is not an option!

The doom and gloom has certainly been all over the news for some months now and the forecast looks to be more of the same for the first part of the year anyway. Here in Southern Oregon, the bank owned properties are selling quickly, which is good news! The sooner they are out of the way the quicker the economy will shift in this area. Being a smaller community we do not have as many REO's as other larger areas so the showdown should be less painful. With all that being said I refuse to let the economy become an excuse for not getting things done! Failure is not an option! If we make a proactive plan and focus on the plan and keep a positve attitude while working our plan, the future will take care of itself! This is the perfect time to create lasting friendships with past clients and friends we never have time to see when the market is churning and burning! It is important to make a game plan to include getting systems in place, keeping in contact with past and present clients and taking a close look at  the expenses. Let our clients and friends know what the market is doing and what we are doing differently to help promote a healthy economy once again! People are wanting to hear good news and there is plenty to be had, we as Realtors, need to lead the way!
