Out with the old and in with the new has a whole different meaning for most Realtors. We keep hearing that recovery is on the way and, believe me, we are ready for it. Business had picked up a lot just prior to the Christmas holiday. Historically the week between Christmas and New Years is pretty slow and it has been. Although we’ve continued to show property it’s at a slower pace.
I can’t think of one realtor that will be sorry to see the end of 2009.
Recently, we had a speaker who referred to all in the room as “survivors”. For some reason that term really encouraged me. Even though the room had fewer attendees than the year before, it was still filled with realtors who had weathered the worse housing crisis in American history. Each and every one in attendance had their own version of the same story and none of it was pretty. Still we survived. Nothing good has come out of this situation other than a store of tragic stories to tell our grandchildren with survival being the happy ending.
Goodbye 2009! Welcome 2010!
We wish everyone a safe, happy and prosperous New Year!
Remember, you are a survivor!
