I Had To Pinch Myself To Make Sure I Was Awake

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Daytona Condo Realty, 386-405-4408

I am easy to surprise, but today beat it all. This turned to be my busiest day in last 2.5 - 3 years. I had 3 parties scheduled to see the properties around, another request that I had to put off to the afternoon, and in the office since we came there, there was a line of people coming from the street.

Our small family team and all vehicles were involved and scheduling was tricky, but done well. Luckily properties were on Supra and not combo locks, as lately every code I get is wrong, and there is little I hate more when I stand at the door with clients, and can't get in.

You know how people arrange those birthday surprise parties? I am looking for that someone, who arranged this for me.

I got tired talking, can you believe it? And it looks like a couple of good offers are coming our way.

Surprise, surprise. I had to pinch myself to make sure I was awake.

I wouldn't mind a few more of those. What about you?

Jon, I had an awesome week! The last 7 days I wrote 5 contracts. Two are pending, Two are in counter and one well one is having some remorse. I hope next week is the same!

Isn't it fun to be really busy!! I love busy!

Well good for you!!  I wouldn't mind a few days of surprises like that.  Does this mean that FLorida is emerging from it's slump or that the stimulus package is working it's magic?

When it RAINS it pours and inevitably when you are busy...you just get busier.  This week, my husband and business partner is in AZ for the NVAR Leadership Program.  Since he left on Thursday am, we received an offer (required alot of work as it was really low and the buyer was asking for everything...typical), I received 4 BPO requests, the kids are out of school, I had four kids for a sleepover party and two buyers today that both changed their plan and meeting times at the last minute.  So, I am pleasently pooped, but happy to be busy and look forward to closing some deals, especially if they are a result of AR.

Jon,

Good things come to good people! It's just the waiting that's so hard.

"I got tired talking," I've had people get to tired to listen or was that listing? Most of my friends and acquaintances would say imposable!

Jon, Glad to hear you are busy. My market has been extremely busy with the low priced stuff. Buyers for these properties are coming out of the wood work. I need help real bad!!!!

Jo - this is a very good and welcome news. I hope it will start warming up. Sunday turned quiet though, but I was able to do some Active Rain work, so it is OK. I have the second tour of showings on Monday, so hopefully we will start moving,

Hi Lisa - Thanks for stopping by. I have the second round of showing to the same people, so we will see how it goes, but the hope is here. At this volume, if sustained, there will be business. Hope you notice some more activity lately
