What is the sales activity in your neighborhood?

I was curious to find out how sales in my neighborhood are going right now. The average days on the market in my neighborhood are only 59!! Times are changing!! If you'd like a market analysis on your subdivision, let me know, and if you know ANYONE looking to sell in this improving market, please send them my way. Inventory is low, and buyers are looking for good homes!! 469.569.2968

I Know It is Tough Out There, But Think BIG!!

Mindset means absolutely everything. Do you think first, when presented with a problem, of the ways in which you will fail, or do you think of the ways in which you will succeed?  Huge difference, and I would bet that most of us do think of the obstacles before we think of the possible rewards.  Guilty as charged!  I'm reading The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, by Gary Keller right now.  By the way, it is a good read for those who are ready for big goals, whether in real estate or not.  This recession has beaten so many of us down and we've lost our mojo!  Gary Keller reminds us that "often the difference between those who survive and those who perish is the ability to believe in the possibility of being rescued.". He uses the movie Cast Away as example. Remember the Fed Ex box painted with angel wings? It was the emblem of his faith, hope, and salvation. I think I will watch that great movie again!  I can't help but think that if the collective American population would just think big and go big, we could turn this mess around!!  My two cents.

Top Ten Reasons People Fail

What makes you stand out against millions of other people? As you probably know, there are no two people alike in the world, but did you know that most of your talents and strengths were already determined by the age of three? Since I’m thankfully still a work in progress, I’m always reading new books to improve. I’m currently reading Strengths Finder 2.0, by Tom Rath that I’ve found to be interesting and useful. If you buy the book, there is a code that can be used one time (so don’t get a used copy of the book) to take an online test to determine your top 5 strengths. My strengths, according to my results are 1) intellection, 2) consistency, 3) connectedness, 4) learner, and 5) harmony. Now that I know these strengths, the idea is to use them to explode my business and reach my personal and professional goals. To help get you thinking, I put together the following 10 ten reasons people fail from notes at my Strengths Finder Class (based on the book) that I take on Monday mornings at my office at Keller Williams! I love my job! Hope you can use this information. It sure made me think! 1) Poor people skills 2) Negative attitude 3) A bad fit for your job! 4) Lack of focus. Are your priorities out of whack? 5) Weak commitment 6) Unwillingness to change 7) Shortcut mindset 8) Relying on talent alone 9) Response to poor information 10) NO GOALS… If people don’t have goals, they haven’t allowed themselves to dream. No dream, no passion! Finalize your goal, then aim high!! Peace!
