It has been a long time since writing in Active Rain. It is good to get on here sometimes and just write down your thoughts even if you do not post what you write.
I have been very busy lately between putting a few homes under contract (woo hoo), running a brokerage and making an effort to be with my kids a lot more (that is also a better way of saying it saves me a little money too;) Wow! That is all I have to say, but I am loving it.
I have a great team and the agents at the office know what they are doing so I am able to spend my time doing the right things. The team and the firm have put ourselves in a position that is flexible and can work with the market.
Hopefully an economic shift is around the corner but at this point we cannot count on anything. For all we know it may have just turned? We probably will not know until we have consistent economic progress. But then again, it could be a few years away. Who knows?
I quit worrying about it and have decided to concentrate on working hard to help people and more people and most importantly my family. Nothing else matters really.
When it comes to work our customers come first and the rest will follow.
Otherwise just do what it takes to put your family in the best position and enjoy your time with them.
When asked is a good time to sell? I always tell everyone that people have to have a place to live and in the Triangle market, people are still buying compared to renting. People may decide to sell their house for less profit (if any at all) than previous years but they are also able to buy a nicer home for less as well. Great values and rates do not hurt either. There are always those moving in and out of the area (although not quite as many lately) and then there are those with lifestyle changes (and that can be anything from marriage, divorce, babies, layoffs to new jobs) and those people have to live somewhere. Sellers just need to have their house ready to move in and priced right. Pretty simple if they sign with the right agent.
That would officially be my going off on a tangent moment.
Anyway, that is how we are doing and where my attitude is at. I hope everyone is thriving, doing well, or doing their best to survive.
Enjoy Everyday!
