Watertown, Wisconsin ,Homes for sale, Blowing my own horn! THREE CLOSINGS

Hi All,

I think I'm going to have to start a specific real estate blog for myself. I usually write about the Watertown area, but this time this "blogging" will be different. Its about business. I have not done this before, but its the sort of thing that , despite the gloomy concerns of the economy, shows a glimmer of hope for our industry. I had THREE CLOSINGS in TWO DAYS! Yup, In a radius of about 15 miles of Watertown, Three closings in two days. Sure I'm proud of the accomplishment, but even more important to all from my area that service customers in real estate, the market is not dead. I try to be the best I can be in my market, but the fact remains that there is ALOT of talent out there. We all have a shot at making a living if we keep our eyes on the prize.

My Dad always said, "If your going to do something, do it right". Its one of several rules I follow in business. It works for me and it will work for you.

The second rule I have followed since I have been in real estate has to do with a cartoon. I have a cartoon in my office that shows a stork trying to swallow a frog, but while he trying to swallow the frog, the frog has his hands around the stork's neck..choking the stork and not giving in to being swallowed. I used to keep this cartoon up to remind me not to give up on the "hard" deals and to persevere to get things done. Now it has a broader meaning..and that is not to get "swallowed up" by the negativism of this economy . KEEP ON TRYING AND "DON'T EVER GIVE UP".

Heck, if I can do it, anybody can.........and all the real estate agents reading this in the Watertown area are shaking there heads YES about now..... I work by simple rules....My Dad's Rule, My Rule, The Golden Rule, etc. etc.. Nothing fancy....and maybe thats the key.

Thats my two cents worth for today.
