I couple of days ago I looked outside my window and there were 2, yes, 2 rainbows. We have been pounded by much needed rain lately, so seeing some sunshine was great... seeing 2 rainbows was amazing. Does this mean that this year will be graced with double fortune?
It really depends on how we look at it. Attitude defines your success, but planning ahead keeps you afloat. OK...staging as we have done in the past has slowed. By comparison, the first quarter last year was much better... but it was different. Consults were the bread and butter. But with many of the REAs becoming buyers agents, we have found some sunshine with investors and agents that are working with REOs. Will that be our Pot of Gold? Who knows, but we have had to change our business model a bit. Don't be afraid to add a new twist on your business. Think about the long run. These times will change... absolutely! The market will get better in time.
Ryan and I have weathered this storm only because we planned ahead, we continued to get in front of people, and we put funds aside just incase. We cut back on the things that just weren't working for us and kept the things that have. We also have been marketing our lil' hinneys off. I feel bad for others who didn't plan or were caught off guard. Those who thought that this wonderful business would take off and carry them through. How are you doing my friends? Are you following that rainbow to your Pot of Gold?

3 years ago, I became friends with a really cool artist, Liliana Graham. Being an artist myself, I can really appreciate the uniqueness of her work. I had a huge staging job that required an ultra modern touch and I didn't have time to whip out the brush and start painting. So I went to one of my artist network sites and decided to get 3 of Lilianna's paintings. I told her my plight and she sent them to me ASAP. We struck up a friendship and there you go ;) I have been getting many of my paintings from her ever since.
Her artwork is collected worldwide now and is in 20 countries. Internationally renowed ID Nate Berkus bought her paintings for a project that was shown on Oprah. Just think... I knew her when ;)
All her work is original, signed, and most have been varnished with a glossy glaze in order to protect the surface of the painting from UV and dust. All her paintings are gallery wrapped and she uses acrylics in metallics and coppers... they are just gorgeous!
She is offering a great special until March 1st. Choose any 3 of her paintings (size 24x48 or smaller) for $499 including shipping and insurance for the paintings! Offer expires 3/01/09 just mention code 5341

No... sorry, I am not talking about football. I have always been an advocate for coming up with new solutions on helping our REAs. Granted... the market now is totally buyer based, foreclosures abound and many investors are taking advantage... so where do we fit in? We continue to help, we continue to show each and every property the best that it can be. Your REA base needs to be updated and YOU need to ask them what YOU can do to help their sales. It could be as simple as a consultation, especially for short sales. That's right.... Take it off of YOU and offer to help THEM! AJDS and SRD are continually busy... why? Because we really do want to keep our REAs as a family... work as a family... gain as a team.
What is your communication with your clients? Take a look at your REA base and ask yourself... what can I do to help my Realtors that I have worked with? Do I need to update my services? Do I need to "invent" a new service that helps them? What do they need me to do?
Don't wait for them to contact you... you make the contact right now... you may be pleasantly surprised.
