We Tell it Like It Is

So, I'm feeling a little better since my last pessimistic blog. Sorry to bring everyone down; but the reasoning behind this whole blogging concept for me is to exhibit the fact that I am human. I care deeply about my job and how my clients & collegues perceive me and I have an emotional investment in the listings I have and the offers I make for clients. I know this is hard to believe in a world that often classifies real estate agents w/used car salesman and lawyers...sleeze balls looking to make a fast buck (and look good doing it) without any regard for those they've left behind standing in the dust. I am actually not in this for the money; that's never been my primary goal when selecting the jobs I've had. I have a genuine need to make a positive difference in people's lives and if I can't accomplish that, I've failed and I beat myself up over it. I'm one of those people that tries to please everyone all the time. Now the money part is important because that's what pays our bills and there's no other resource ... but I can't take someone's money knowing I didn't properly earn it.

Today is July 24th. We only have about one full month left of the "prime" season for home buying/selling. There are going to be some last ditch efforts going on out there. A lot of sellers need to sell before the school year arrives and are going to show the most flexibility in August and mortgage rates are good. We may not see this next year, my dear buyers, so get out there and get 'em!!
