Travelers Rest, SC

I am so thankful that I have a closing Monday on my Golf Course property. I have babied this thing all the way to the last week and have jumped every hurdle known. These days you really have to work hard for the closing, and this is cash sale!! I am on both sides of the sale so it is hard to make sure I keep everyone happy and remain very neutral. I have a wonderful broker and terrific company I work for. I am very thankful I work for a christian company that cares about there Realtors. It really pays to trust God and work for a company that cares more about there people than money! www.kathysellsgreenville.com

Through faith and prayer my family has made it through a lot of tight and frustrating times. I now know that God was preparing us for the way the world has gone. My kids are content with what they have and are not having the hard time with being happy with what they have. God has taught our family to be happy with what we have. We prayed through every need and thank him for our blessings. I feel so fortunate to have made it through the last few years with total dependence on God. i guess I got into Real Estate at the last of the good times and never experienced a huge loss as others. But by counting on God I have meet every need and them some. Our family is content with what we have and are at peace with the worlds problems. Because I know that God is in Control and he will see us through it if we only trust him. God is the only way and he to will see you through life's troubles. Pray and give your troubles to him, and count on true blessings from him. Prayers might not be answered as you think the should, but for the better, you will see. Easter is a time of new birth and hope. Give your hope and trust to God and watch how your life will change! Be still and know that I am God

Matt was to fly out of Greenville today at 4 and at 6:45 he is still there. i would have ran when they announced they were having maintenance issues, not Matt he is in for the long haul. Did I mention his return flight is 12pm tomorrow! He might want to just stay on the plane! Please keep him in your prayers! HE is my stubborn child. it is going to make him or break him! He was going on a $19 flight special on Alginate for a concert with friends and coming home the next day, guess his only entertainment will be the fights in the airport. Please do keep him in your prayers! While your at it please pray for my patients with a very stuborn 18 year old, who loves God with all his heart, but is driving his parents crazy!!!!

What a wonderful day! It was 70 degrees and sunny all day and you can just feel spring in the air. New life, new things and hope! That is what we all need is a big dose of hope! Today at a meeting we were told that the market is starting to move in the upstate. My phone has began to ring again, and I have buyers coming in from FLA next week. Hopefully we can get off the economic slump and get back to business. But we must learn from our mistakes and change the way we do business. No more good old boy system, It is rare to get a second chance. So what are you willing to do different? We all fall short of expectations and GODS grace, but if we realize our mistakes and move forward in a positive and honest way things will get better! The golden rule really does apply in business as well as our personal lives! Day light saving time starts in a few weeks and soon signs of spring will come, now is a time for change, move forward in a positive way, and let the negative things stay behind. We really can spring forward if we will only try! We have to learn to trust again, and help each other.

I know times are tough, but if you make a appointment to show a listing please call if you are not going to show! One of my clients waited yet again 2 hours and a no show! Things come up, clients don't like the neighborhood and often you just run out of time, all these are acceptable reasons! However you need to call the listing agent so she can let the seller know. They have lives to, and they choose not to put a lock box on the door for a reason! Also I would love feedback, so I can tell my clients what you thought of the listing. It really might help them! The Golden Rule really does apply in business too! IF the price is out of range they might take it better from a potential buyer offering what they have compared it to. Times are hard and we can help each other if we just practice common curiosity! We are all in the same boat here, maybe helping each other would make life a little easier! As we rebuild our businesses we need to take a look at how we want to be seen by others. A Realtor who is to busy to make a quick call looks like they just don't care about others. We are often judged by others on first appearance, what happens if my seller tells others that this Realtor was rude, or they stood me up, word does get around!!!!
