(this is Part 1 of a three part series)
2008 was difficult for many of us in the real estate industry and while most remain cautiously optimistic and hopeful for 2009, some professionals are still very nervous, perhaps even paralyzed because they haven’t truly pondered or addressed where they’re at in this business.
Last year, I spoke to hundreds of brokers and agents and posed the same question to many of them. I asked, “Are you in or out of the real estate business?” Sadly, many of them were undecided. For any real estate professional who’s “on the fence,” it may very well be a burdensome place to be. Whatever your decision, the success of your future mandates that you must move forward, and that means you need to get off that fence right away! Decades of experience has taught us that uncertainty and indecision will almost guarantee the resolve of your business and the likely depletion of your assets.
