A POSITIVE ATTITUDE IS SUCCESS

As we are now in the last quarter of 2009 and also the last few months of the first decade of the 21st century it is a good time to reflect. This year and this decade have brought changes we could not have fathomed. Those of us in the Real Estate business have been riding an out of control rollercoaster this decade and this past year as it comes to the end of the line there were still a few drops and curves. The heady days of 2004, 2005, & 2006 and double digit appreciation are gone yet people are still selling and buying. I wonder if this was the last hurrah of the last quarter of the 20th century way of sales and we are moving back into the root of sales. Sell derives from the Scandinavian word Selzig, which means "to serve". Moving forward into 2010 and the second decade of the 21st century I believe our attitude as an industry and a country will determine our direction. We can not change what did or did not happen this past year and decade. We must move forward, smile or nod at someone if you know them or not. This simple act will begin sending a positive attitude around and a positve attitude is success.
