The Good Times - Really??

We started in this business when it was going downhill so we have never seen it really good. We have had to work really hard to get our business. We learned everything the hard way. We spent a lot of money getting our names out there and it seems to have worked. We had a great year in 2008 and were the #1 Sales Producing Team at our company which happens to be the #1 Company in our County by millions.

We have had this thing happen that we aren't sure about - we are so busy we can't breathe. We are not complaining but we have not seen this side of the market before. We find we are working twice as hard for 1/2 the amount of money. But we are selling homes and our sellers and buyers are happy! Perfect world - almost. We have short sales hanging out there and foreclosures - but they seem to be selling. I hate short sales because they are so frustrating but they are a reality. So we live with them.

We see people in pain and we don't know what to say other than we will do the best job we can to help you. I'snt' that what we do? We are the keepers of the land. I will never forget how I felt when I first heard that. I take it very seriously.

We changed our marketing because the high end homes aren't selling but the homes that are affordable for first time home buyers are. Those are the sellers we are working with now. These are the people who are buying and they should be. Its a wonderful time for them. They can live the American dream that is our right. Its exciting to see someone buy their first home and watch them when they sign the papers. Its wonderful.

Our team is excited and looking forward to the future in this business. I love it!
