As we start this last quarter of 2008, we need to remember that we are living in interesting times. This is an election year and nothing is as controversial as the economy. Don’t let the media lead you to feeling like our market is “Doom and Gloom”.
Everyone in the Real Estate and Mortgage industry need to stay focused on what is important:
People need Homes.
It doesn’t matter what the economy is doing.
It doesn’t matter what the interest rate is.
It doesn’t matter who is elected President.
The point is that people will buy and sell homes regardless of these situations.
Fear of the future is not the answer. Positive steps forward by taking one step at a time and doing the best job that we can do is within our control. A positive attitude and hard work will mold our future and the future of our clients.
Remember that bad news sells newspapers. The media frenzy is about sensationalism and it is easy to get into a pattern of following the crowd. I encourage you to think about your business and what you can do to make it stronger. Surround yourself with positive people who understand that attitude is the only thing that is within your control.
Remember the positive things in your life and be grateful for your many blessings. We are all in a position of service and our service can change lives. Assisting with the buying and selling of homes is a life changing event for all of our clients. The economy is cyclical and it is expected to have highs and lows. In times of chaos, we can remain calm and positive. We are fortunate to be working in the best country on earth.
