Learning never stops....even when dissapointed...

Well - this week has been a Roller-Coaster!  Which, I believe, I should start to get used to, right?  Thank goodness I LOVE Roller-Coasters -- just ask my hubby! :D


It's been a learning experience this week, with quite a few irons in the fire -- I have learned that I am able to juggle pretty well!  Although, the down side is - I've realized that no matter what I do, there are some things I can not control -- or should I say, other people and their actions, that I can't control.  Which, leads to me being disappointed. 
But - being the constant learner I am, and always looking for the bright side or silver lining, I have started to see a little more about 'ME'.  I'm beginning to be a little more confident in my negotiating skills, a little more comfortable in knowing when it is time to walk away, and I would even say that I am beginning to recognize my little 'signals' to myself when something just isn't right.  I still have a long way to go -- I will probably be contemplating on this week for some time -- if the only thing is to keep me focused and keep pushing myself forward!

Until next time, In This Market....

Ok -- I know it's been a while!

Alright, I know -- I've been busy! Really, I have! I've been able to reflect over the past month, and I have accomplished a lot! WHEW! I have been able to secure a buyer into a 'Pending' status, relocated 3 renters into homes, put on the market a new listing, hosted 5 Open Houses and joined another agent in my office to begin a Team!! This is only the beginning --- I WANT TO DO MORE! And, I know I can! What's better is, the market is just warming up! I have two, extremely possible listings -- AND, going to Starbucks for my morning caffeine fix, the woman at the pull up window noticed the sign on my car, and asked, 'How is the market doing?' -- So, after we bantered for a few moments, while my coffee was percolating, I asked her, 'So, do you happen to know anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home?'....Well, 'Yes, we are looking to sell'!! My heart went a pitter-patter!! :D What, in the drive thru? YES, in the drive thru! I handed her my card, and let her know to call me if she has any questions about the market and where her home may be in it! My next quest....trying to help out the For Sale By Owners, not go it alone.....I have already set out some cards with my information to their doors, we'll see if this pans out --- I may have to set up another line of attack..... Here's to keeping busy! Till next time, In This Market.....
