In real estate everything is relative. Where you live, work and do the majority of your business is all relative to how you live your life. Most of us go through life everyday doing the things we think and feel are important to who and what we are. We try to do what we consider the "right thing". We go about the business of helping others either sell a home or buy the home of their dreams. But when something goes wrong who do we blame? Ourselves, others? Of course it's always easier to place the blame on someone else. But if we are honest with ourselves we take a look in the mirror and accept the fact that sometimes we are to blame. That can be one of those moments in your life when you have to stop and think about how your own actions or in-actions effected another persons life. What may seem as an innocent or insignificant act to one may have a life altering affect on another. We must start taking responsibility for our deeds and our words and take into consideration how what we do effects others. After all in life everything is relative.
In case you haven't read a newspaper or turned on the evening news lately the BIG story in real estate is the foreclosure market. According to the experts foreclosures are at an all time high. The reality of the situation is that only about 2 percent of the total homeowners in our country are in foreclosure. So why all the high drama and exaggeration. It's the oldest story since the beginning of time, if it bleeds, it reads. The newspapers and the extremely high paid media superstars have got to SELL their stories.
We as professional Realtors know the true story. Yes, there are foreclosures and short sales in every segment of the market across our country. But there are also a lot of home owners who are not in dire straights and are selling or buying every day, business as usual. So lets not buy into the hype. Remember why you are in this business, to help others achieve their dream. If I can do that for just one individual a day, a month or longer, than it's all worth it to me.
Happy Selling my fellow Realtors.
Sincerely,
