An idea for ACTION

An Idea For Action…

There’s No Time Like The Present.If you can’t complete an entire task at one sitting, at least get started, whether you have 5 minutes or 5 hours. Many tasks can be completed a little at a time, but only if you get started right now.

Some progress is better than no progress. Take some baby steps towards completion today.

Some times we take more time preparing than we do for action…so get into action, a little goes a LONG way!

Dreaming…

I am part of a company that makes sure I am keeping my head up, even when I don’t feel like doing it.

So my advise to you is to keep dreaming.  Sometimes you wake up from a dream and you just have to hop right out of bed!  Focus that energy on what will get you to your dream.  Do you know what you want?  Do you know what your dream is?  Talk to other dreamers, if you could build your perfect life and not fail, what would it be?  Who would be there to help you along the way?

Focus on what you want and how you will get there…the rest will follow.

Advice for working with unrealistic sellers…

 It is time to be firm and stand by your beliefs.  We don’t do it often enough.  But recently you may have to turn down listings due to unrealistic seller pricing.  It is unfortunate, but you must walk away if the seller will not price their home correctly.  If the house is not prices well, it will not sell in today’s market.  It is our job to educate consumers on what is realistic in today’s market.  It is better to turn a seller down now, rather than let them down later.  You risk your reputation everytime you take an over priced listing.  Plus, you allocate resources to something that will not sell.  Use your resources, your time and money for something that will sell!  Work on getting Sellable listings only in today’s market!

Tips for success…Getting the right listing price

Getting the right listing price…..

 

You must do a lot of research in today’s market.  The times of just listing a home for what the seller wants is over.  You need to back up your data and let a seller know where their house fits in to that picture.  You also need to analyze the seller’s motivation at the time that they want to sell.  Ask them many questions and see if they are a serious seller.  In the past, if a seller was only half motivated, it was okay to list their home.  In today’s market, if they are not completely motivated to sell, they will not be realistic in pricing their home.  You need to make sure your seller understands that it is a slower market than last year and that their home needs to be priced accordingly.
