HOW DOES WEATHER AFFECTS REAL ESTATE???
A WHOLE LOT!
IN MY 25 YEARS OF REAL ESTATE, I HAVE LEARNED THAT MOTHER NATURE CONTROLS OUR BUSINESS!
INDEED, I REMEMBER THE ICE STORM OF JANUARY 1998, OUR WORLD STOPPED! ALL SHOWINGS WERE CANCELLED,NO CALLS , NO APPOINTMENTS.. IT WAS VERY STRANGE.
BUT IT GAVE ME A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO GET ON THE PHONE AND CALL GOOD FRIENDS AND PAST CLIENTS. EVERYONE WAS HOME AND EAGER TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE AND CHALLENGES!
3 YEARS AGO, WE HAD AN EXCEPTIONNAL AMOUNT OF SNOW AND SOME OF MY ONE STORY LISTINGS ABSOLUTLY LOOKED LIKE IGLOOS...THE SNOW WAS SOOO HIGH , IT REACHED THE ROOF AND WE HAD TO WALK INTO A SNOW TUNNEL TO REACH THE FRONT DOOR.
MOST YEARS, IN OTTAWA, WE SELL 500-600 HOMES IN JANUARY VS 2000 SALES IN MAY. HUGE DIFFERENCE!!
I REMEMBER SELLING REAL ESTATE IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA FROM 1989-1993,I WAS OFTEN ASKED HOW COULD CANADIAN AGENTS SELL HOUSES IN THE WINTER? THEY THOUGHT WE SIMPLY SHUT DOWN FOR 4-5 MONTHS..
AMAZING!
NO WE DO NOT!!! I HAVE SPENT THOUSAND OF HOURS IN MY CAR, DRIVING IN REALLY BAD SNOW CONDITIONS AND EXTREME COLD (-40C) TO ATTEND AN APPOINTMENT, SHOW A HOUSE, MEET A CLIENT, ETC. dedication indeed!!!
I CALL IT DOUBIDOU ! YES, MICHELLE 17, MY DAUGHTER WOULD CONFIRM: DOUBIDOU MEANS TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, WHEN YOU HAVE TO DO IT, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!
I GOT THAT FROM MY MENTOR BRIAN TRACY, A FASCINATING MAN.
SO DOUBIDOU TO YOU AND CALL ME FOR ANY REAL ESTATE NEEDS.
YOUR LOYAL AND DETERMINED FRIEND.

I am excited to have finally signed up for ActiveRain having been inspired by a day long seminar with Ben Kinney at the beginning of September. My marketing coordinator, Marie has been working to set up my bio, photos, backgrounds, and will be assisting me with blog posting several times per week.
I and my team learned many things about blogging. social media marketing and search engine optimization. I still have much to learn about Facebook, Twitter and blogging, but my administrative and marketing staff will be there along the way.
Stay tuned - my website, www.sylviebegin.com is about to receive a major face lift. Please visit again and again as we upgrade every page. Recently Glabar Park Homes was updated with new links, a photo and a testimonial.
I hope you will return to check out my blog again and again, and I hope to provide information and articles you are happy to read.
