So we see in the news today that 68,000 jobs were cut today. The President has promised change for tomorrow and beyond that I think it is hard to speculate on what might happen. We see a rising number of doom and gloom stories, but when will the general public stop listening to all of the stories and look within to start 2009 with a story of promise and a story of today is the day this all turns around. Chicken little may always tell you that the sky is falling, but I guess that my puppy dogs and rainbow outlook is this.
Time to start getting real. Time to ask yourself why did this happen to me? Time to ask yourself what could I have done to prevent all of this and it is time to be accountable instead of blaming people for the things that continue to happen. By this I mean that today I cannot blame anyone for what has happened over the last year in real estate. I could try to say that CNN and MSNBC and countless others have ruined me, but they didn't. My team sold 38 properties for 11.2 Million in 2008. Why? We told people the straight story when it came to buying or selling real estate in 2008. For buyers it was and continues to be a wonderful opportunity to buy a home if you can afford it. For sellers yesterday and today bring the same message. If you stage your home to look its best, you price your home to sell in a buyers market, take technology by the hand and hire the best agent, one that will listen and react in this market,your home will sell.
Sounds simple right? Not as simple as it sounds. People are making difficult decisions everyday and we are fortunate to have the business we do. We work very hard to keep our place in the market and we know that everyone has a unique story to tell. Our job is to guide each individual to their own success.
So today I will be thankful for my family, my job and my health. Tomorrow I will get up and go through my to do list to get the engine running and beyond that I will make this the best year possible for my family, future and health. What did today offer you, what will tomorrow bring for your hard work and beyond that what are your hopes, dreams and goals.
2009 is gonna be a good time!
