I remember when my Grandmother would go in the kitchen and get a knife to sharpen the other knife...She would rub them together the make them sharp.To my surprise being a child at that time it was amazing how they cut so much better.Saying this to say sharpen your skills by reading the daily market news.In these times I say go back to the books and you might even have a Realtor friend or mentor that you can tag along with who is doing great in the market.Sharpen your skills like my grandmother sharpened her knives.I remember when the market was somewhat like this and I was a newby I would read the market and started signing up with the REO Companies before alot of agents did..So it is wise to see what will be the next big thing in Real Estate and learn it....There are so many free classes at your boards take them and learn from them....Be Blessed,Your Realtor Monica Oakes
Good one Kim...You know alot of times if you have that budget it will keep you more on track....When you set goals ( any goals) and stick to them you will not go off track.Visit that goal and revise it if you need to.That budget will set you free...I like to call it a Path to My Future....Meaning that your budget will be your Yellow Brick Road....As Kim states it..Lets get that budget together for 2010...Sounds like a winner to me...Start writing
Other suggestions to supplement enhance your business success.......Review your current systems; revise if need be. Ensure that your websites are current and offers valuable information to your consumers. This is the time of year when we need to begin working on our 2010 BUDGET, setting those goals and creating the plans to implement and achieve stated goals so that we will be ready to EXPLODE on 01/01/10!! Thanks for sharing.
Good advice Monica! As a matter of fact, that's #7 of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, "Sharpen Your Saw". And...BPOs are a good way to sharpen your saw as well as create relationships. Those of you still trying to get your foot in the "REO door", doing BPOs is one way. Not to mention that there's no way you can be a good REO agent if you can't do a GOOD BPO. Sound advice to heed in the slow times... :)
That is great Johnny.We must keep busy and we must keep clients in the know..Home Retention is in the now and they depend on us for information.It also creates a great relationship.BPO's are a supplement to our income.I do them to......It keeps us in the market and keep our brain functioning....
Good Job....
