A Real Estate Broker Gets Thankful!

Wake up! Get Thankful for the steady market we have in Birmingham, Alabama. We are so blessed to be living in such a beautiful city with a great group of agents that all have a spirit of cooperation, for the most part. But, what's even better is that we are not hurting as badly as other parts of the country. The leaves on the trees are changing colors, filling our mountainsides with views of vivid golds, bright reds, and autumn browns. And, our most deligent Real Estate Agents are making greens; even more of it than last year.

As the Broker / Team Leader of the #1 Keller Williams Realty office in Birmingham, AL, I can say it's time to go to work. This market won't allow us to sit back and answer the phone. Every lead chasing and lead attracting tool must be implemented at this time.
People buy houses in ANY market. And, what are they buying? Listings. I am thankful for our agents that see that listings are still our most valuable business asset. I'm thankful for our clients who put their trust in us; even though they know their homes will be on the market for a longer period of time. I'm thankful that 100% financing is STILL AVAILABLE for our buyer clients. Hurray that many mortgage options are still out there to get these homes sold.
I'm thankful for so many things, such as:
* having the support and training from a wonderful company - Keller Williams Realty
* profit sharing that can and will change people's lives
* a shift in the market that will separate the business minded Realtors from the dabblers
* being in business with learning based Realtors that thrive on learning as much as they can
* the positive attitudes of the Realtors and the alliances I work with everyday
* the love of family and friends.

We are truly blessed to be living in Birmingham, Alabama in a market that isn't bad. It's great! It's just different. And, we as Realtors have to change the way we do business to adapt to the change in the market; just like all smart business people do. I'm excited about what December is bringing as far as sales for our Realtors, for our office, and for our clients! Join me in being THANKFUL! Nobody wants a negative Realtor!
