A New World

The economic problems in the financial industry have changed the world of real estate. As an agent I have had to become educated about short sales and foreclosures. Although they are not new products, in the past, they incurred infrequently. Now the sheer volume of these products has forced any truly professional agents to learn or relearn how they must be approached. Things like timing, how long to get an approval, how long to get to closing, and what type of sale strategies the sellers are using. At first glance, this can seem overwhelming. It isn't. This is what makes the profession interesting and enjoyable. More to follow.

Happiness is a choice. Choose well

First Entry

The world of real estate has been turned up-side down. Short-sales and foreclosures have become commonplace. We, as agents, need to learn and understand these and many other changes. At my age this should be interesting. You, however, may or may not find it to be and that is okay. I will be writing about the foibiles of a career in real estate. Some will be funny. Some will be sad. Others will be informative. The idea is to give you some familiarity with what realtors contend on a daily basis.
