When Opportunity Knocks...Don't Complain About the Noise!

Busy, yes, very! There is lots to do every day and all day but one of my sayings...When Opportunity Knocks...Don't Complain About the Noise!

Knock Knock

I have had a full month already with two smooth settlements, a short sale approval (after only a few weeks), 5 new listings in the pipeline, arranging for inspections, offers on two of my newest listings, multiple showings and a canceled listing. This is in addition to all the personal stuff in my life... and writing a daily post.

A call from an agent starts a discussion... telling me how slow July is, no business...things are at a stand still. Then adds ...July is always slow.

Now how do I respond? If I say yeah...it's slow-that would not be truthful. If I told him how much I am doing right now....I come off as bragging. So I just listen, let him talk, let him tell me that no one is doing any business. The market is really bad.

I think if you perceive the market as bad..you will make that come true. Are you listening for the knocks or are you complaining about the noise?
