Did you know?????? Hey, Gig Harbor!! Our real estate market is recovering!! Turn off those national doom and gloom media reports!! Here at home in beautiful Gig Harbor our housing market is getting better and better.

We have closed 42 more homes this year than last year for the same time period! Plus for the month of June alone we have sold 15 more homes this year!! So!!! Awesome!!

I know these numbers are not huge but remember the movie "What About Bob?" It is all about baby steps!! One step at a time - and look how far we can go!!

Spread the word!! Time to Sell!! Time to Buy!! Time to Spread the Positive News!!

So real estate has been tough, no doubt! But when you look deep into yourself - what do you see? What do you hear? Negative thoughts? A dark tunnel? Doom and Gloom? If we don't change how we see ourself inside how can we show the positives to Our Clients? Our Friends? Our Family?

I attended a great power punch yesterday on creating a thriving business plan! Interesting was that the focus was on attitudes and agreements - with those changed to positive - the business plan and process came roaring back - as fast as jumping on that bike and riding like the wind. I thought I would share what I re-discovered yesterday!

First - Be Impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity!

Second - Don't take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of You!

Third - Don't make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions!

Fourth - Always do your best - Under any circumstances!

Hope this helps to jump start your day! Life is good!

Home prices are low and stablized! Interest rates are the lowest in decades! So let's spread the word! Now is the time to get out there and spread the word!! Buy now!! Live now!!
