If you miss this call me and I be happy to help you when buying your first home!

But come if at all possible because you do want to win $221,000!!!

THURSDAY 6:00

5206 Village Parkway (Century 21 Exclamation Realty, the old Hall Mark store)

Learn about the $8,000 tax credit and learn how and why now is the right time to buy your home!

That is the question, right?

I have got 3 of these accepted by the lenders and have 2 more that are on their way to acceptance. I enjoy them to a point, though they are a lot of hard work. It is a very viable option for our clients that are facing foreclosure.

I've learned to ask ALOT of questions from the lender on the front end to speed the process up (though non of them seem to be going short), usually when i get an offer in on one I play the waiting game on the lender to get back with me (and my weekly phone calls to see how they are doing).

"I am actually waiting on Met Life home loans to take me off hold so i can get a contract to them!"

Anyway, I've heard several people say they have done short sales in a matter of weeks (it takes me a matter of months), anything you can tell me on how to speed the process up would be very appreciated.

I was given the opportunity today to be on a panel of 2 at the Century 21 convention in San Antonio, TX to speak on the things I am doing in this market that have caused me to be successful in 2008! They said they are going to give me a video of it so i am hoping to post it on here. It was a true honor and humbling experiance when they asked me to join them in this discussion. Thanks Century 21!!

A few pointers I gave out today

1. Dress for success! Look like the professional Realtor you are!

2. Schedual your day! Time is to important in this market to have any of it wasted!

3. Most importantly include 3 hours of prospecting and make 20 contacts a day (I strive to do that each and every day). Here's a great formula - contact 20 people a day 5 days a week and only get 1% return on your work you are having 4 transactions a month (sounds like a winning plan to me!!)

Have a great day/night

Isn't that what we all do on Pay day?... I never get tired of getting a paycheck from a title company. I've never looked and said naah give it to me next week.

Outside of my goals, paychecks are part of drives me to continue this business! Yes I love helping my clients out (just as today i helped my clients sell their house so they could now buy a farm they have been wanting), knowing i just earned a paycheck helps me know i have done my JOB very well. It's when i am not getting checks that i know I need to change something or I'm gonna have to learn a new script that sounds a little like "Would you like fries with your burger?"

This is going to be a great 2009! I will have Happy clients this year and so will you!

Every year we gather around the TV to watch one team face off against another in an epic battle of strength and strategy. Some cheer, some sneer! Eat all the wings you can fit into your belly, drink all the pop you can muster down your throat. Be happy, and most of all be safe - cause this world needs their REALTORS!

Have fun tonight and GO CARDS!!
