Happy Belated New Year

OK, so I'm like 3 weeks late with this post. I've been super busy, and that's a great thing.

Over the last few weeks that I've been MIA, I've been reading a lot about how horrible 2008 was for real estate, and how 2009 isn't going to be much better. But my year is starting off great. I live in a market that has fared well through the downturn. I can't ignore all the negative articles out there about how hard it will be. But I can read each and take it with a grain of salt. And I will. And I won't let all the negativity bring me down.
 
That's my first resolution. Now, I don't normally make resolutions. We all know the success rate of resolutions. But this year, instead of making unattainable resolutions, I'll keep it simple.
 
My second resolution will be to provide even better service to my clients. When my phone rings at 10pm (if I'm not already asleep), I'll answer it with a smile. Face it, chances are I'll be asleep. I'm not exciting anymore.
 
My third resolution will be to get more education to be able to provide better advice to my clients.
 
This year it's not about how much money I can make. This year it's about exceeding my clients' expectations. And by doing so, I hope to make lots of money. Somehow, it just works out that way, and I'm okay with that.
