Resiliency

MY NEW LISTING




This home really reflects pride of ownership. Re-modeled in 2003, the home features tile flooring throughout and an updated kitchen. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a pellet stove to keep you warm. The back yard has a peaceful relaxing atmosphere. It has a detached two car garage and a shop. Fully fenced there is plenty of room for animals, toys and your RV.

There it is, up above - My new Listing! This house is really cute as a button! Stay tuned for upcoming news about the Open House!

These are the latest headlines taken from CNNMoney.com




Then, there is this one...





Don't you love the media? They love us...they hate us... It seems like there was too much good new lately about Real Estate so they had to knock it a bit with the last one. It's like - just when we were all starting to feel better - "POP!" Pop that bubble of euphoria, bring it back down to reality. - "Oh yea - things are looking great but it still stinks! " 
Its a good thing that as a Real Estate Professional aka Realtor, I am used to getting that bubble popped.  Realtors (I) have to be resilient, otherwise we would all just go home and slit our wrists or become drug addicts - Case in point- an agent that I know - no names here because it has happened to ALL agents at one time or another - is working with some buyers. They are being emailed listings from the agent, she follows up with them, she takes them to see properties, she knows their wish list inside and out...She has spent countless hours looking at properties on their behalf. One day, the couple decide to go driving around town...they see an Open House sign, being the happy house hunting people they are - they stop in...They LOVE everything about the Open House - it's in an area they hadn't even considered - its larger than what's on their wish list - a little over budget but they decide its worth it. They have the Open House agent write up an offer for them. ... So, what happens to the original agent that has been showing them houses? She doesn't get any commission. She doesn't get paid. "POP" goes her bubble...The clients are not bad - they didn't know. The Open House agent isn't bad - she didn't know. Their agent never told them - "If you go to an Open House and you like the house - CALL ME and I will write the offer for you." She never told them that that was how she got paid. So, here's the deal - be nice to your agent - they are working hard for you even if you don't see it.  Make sure you tell the Open House Agent that you are already working with someone. Todays blog is a little longer than usual but thanks for reading through. LOL

Today there are 767 Residential listings in Shasta MLS,  33 new today and 28 went pending. Have a FANTASTIC Memorial Day and if you are out and about - I'll be doing the Open House at MacLeod again this Saturday. See you next week!
