“Unless it is scientifically impossible, it must be possible!”

“Unless it is scientifically impossible, it must be possible!” Hildy Gottlieb

This quote struck me on a business level as well as in my volunteer work with a non-profit organization. With a negative perception of the housing market in many areas and the concerns about the economy, it becomes easy to get hung up in the media hype and lose focus. Yes times are tough; but there are still people out there buying and selling homes..........we just have to find them.

I don’t believe that success in these times is scientifically impossible!

LET’S STAY FOCUSED!

I attended a workshop designed for helping Non-Profit Board Members / Executive Directors govern and be more effective with carrying out their mission in the community. It was facilitated by the president of Community – Driven Institute. www.CommunityDriven.org; Hildy Gottlieb. If you are working with a non-profit organization take a look at their website, it is a great resource.

Focusing on the bad news in the press doesn't help us sell Real Estate

In these past few weeks the focus of the press on the real estate and mortgage markets have been dismal. I listen to stay up to date with what's going on but they focus on growing my business.

With the high number of foreclosures on the market, I have been busy with first time home buyers who are looking to get a good deal. With a bit of education from me, they understand that buying a foreclosure may take a bit longer and that there is a possibility of getting a good deal but they should expect to "steal a house".

Prepared and realistic sellers and buyers are still in a great position. I was able to help a couple find a new house and sell their condo in about 2 months.

The market in our area is slow but not stopped. Buying your own home is still a great thing to do (if you can afford it)!
