Short Sale Definition

Skye Luke

A short sale is a transaction that does not produce sufficient funds to cover the existing monetary encumbrances against the property, closing costs, real estate commissions, and other financial requirements of closing. The Seller is walking away with no profit what so ever. You need to be very patient when buying a short sale. http://www.REPOWERSEARCH.com

Bellingham Buyer's Market

Bellingham, WA currently has turned into a buyer's market. It's the analogy of Supply and demand. There are alot more homes on the market now than a few years ago. Buyer's have more time to make an educated decision when buying a home without jumping to conclusions and going off their emotions. If you are a first time home buyer or havn't owned Real Estate in the last three years you qaulify for a $8,000 dollar Tax Refund being offered by the Federal Government. You need to close on the property between January 1st 2009 through November 30, 2009. You can get paid to buy a home. This is a no brainer. (Win Win Deal)

Interest rates are still at an all time low. The last time they were this good was in 1973. History usually repeats itself. It's just a matter of time before we have another sky rocket of property values in Bellingham, WA. Low interest rates gives you more borrowing power. You're able to buy more of a home with less of a monthly mortgage payment. Have you ever told yourself, If I only would've, could've bought a home 10 years ago I would be rich. If you don't take action now and just do it, you will be saying the same old thing 10 years later. Real Estate is still your best investment when doing it right. Invest in your future today.

Self Motivating Excercise

Ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Every Realtor starts their day unemployed. We have to hustle a little harder to get a deal through. We can spend so much time & energy on one deal, to find out the other side is sending over a Rescission .(Never Give Up) Even when it seems like there is no way on earth to win at Real Estate, there is still hope.

You have to start every day with a million dollar mindset (A Positive Attitude) We are our worst enemies! 90% of life is our reaction to it. Wake up in the morning (Preferably before noon), do your thing, shower, dress for success, eat a healthy breakfast or a power smoothie (try & stay off the coffee for as long as you can throughout the day) get out there and create opportunities for your business.(Talk to actually people) It's not a secret that your in the business of Real Estate anymore. Be Excited, people feed off your energy.

There is plenty of business for everybody. Notice It's the humans that tell themselves the market is down in the dumps that only do a few deals a year. It is what you make it (Whether you think you can or can't your right)-Henry Ford? Here's the Excercise: Jump up & down & tell yourself outloud seven times I'm a lead generating machine (Just try it, nobodies watching). It gets the blood flowing people. Don't be part of the walking dead. We constantly need postive affirmations in our life or life will get us down.

Now how do you feel? (You actually have to get up off your computer chair to do this excercise).What? you want results immediately like Slimfast. The point is to build good habits. You might have to quit some things in your life that are holding you back from being the best you can be. Sometimes you have to say no to the good in life in order to say yes to the Best. Now get on the horn & make 20 phone calls today!
