It's like my Gratitude List: Woke up again this morning and I am functional; got an offer accepted by seller; showed homes yesterday to 2 buyers who want to work with me; positive feedback from one of my listing showings; had dinner with a friend I hadn't seen in a while; attended an introductory seminar on "How to Win in this Market"; received a call from a seller/buyer I met years ago; connected with people I want to do business with every day and they were glad to hear from me; working on a blog; attended a seminar on "Creating Happiness: The Sheer Joy of Being Alive"... for starters.

Posted by Lydia Burnett Etchen (CENTURY 21 Town & Country) almost 3 years ago

Picked up 2 new buyers, 1 possible listing and am going to Newport (OR) with my husband and 2 girls (15 & 17) for the weekend for Mother's Day :~)

My husband has 2 transactions in escrow, and received 3 offers on 3 seperate properties...1 accepted this am!! We have been very blessed this week!!!

Posted by Kelli~Rhyanne Bartley (Keller Williams Realty Mid~Willamette) almost 3 years ago

A very good sign that is not typical of a fluke week.  3 closings happened yesterday in my neighborhood of lots, bringing the total lot sales to 5 for the last 3 weeks.  There were no lot sales in our neighborhood for 9 months.  1 was at $1.7mm, 1 @ $748k, 1 @680k, and the others in the $200's.  That is a huge sign.  I have been discounting home sales as I have seen 4 down markets and they usually have a double dip, and I have been anticipating the double dip.  We may not see it......

Posted by Tim Moncrief - Austin (Bartlett Real Estate Group of Keller Williams ) almost 3 years ago

I love this idea, Mike!  I actually had one of my BEST weeks in years:

  • Closed on two properties (representing very excited first time home buyers)
  • Finalized SIX contracts (three listings, three buyers)
  • Listed a new property in a neighborhood I just started farming

I am completely, utterly exhausted, but I'm thrilled beyond belief!  I guess I need to think about a weekend off.... :-)

Posted by KERRY LUCASSE - Your Intown Atlanta Real Estate Consultant (Nest Atlanta Real Estate Group - Ian Marshall Realty) almost 3 years ago

Mike,

  • I had 1 or 2 (!) ActiveRain folks give me a little encouragement.
  • To keep a deal moving forward, I installed my first-ever "bond jumper" - ground between intake and outflow on a hot water heater - who knew?. (Neither seller or buyer live near this ski condo.);
  • Doing a rare lease for an owner serving in our military - found her a tenant with great credit, solid work history and no pets;
  • Loving hubby, Chip, and I booked a campground in Maine. Later this month, we're going to photo-hunt a moose or many meese;
  • Looked forward to your weekly post!

That's a great week.

Great week!  Had dinner with my son and wife and kids!  My other son and his wife will be arriving tomorrow for a big fun time at Owyhee Reservoir with more family including daughter and her husband.  We'll be on our boat blissfully fishing and enjoying the scenery. 

I had a closing today! And scheduled one for a week from now!  Two more transactions overcame hurdles!  And I got a call on one of my listings and think she'll buy it through her agent!

Thanks Mike for making us "accentuate the positive  de emphasize the negative".

For me I just got back from vacation in Orlando. The weather was perfect, no rain at a nice resort with friends we care about. It's nice to just get away! And nice to be back!

I picked some eggplants, carrots, and tomatoes from my square foot gardens. That really made me happy.

Got to spend lots of time with my husband :)

Posted by Lana Robbins Realtor ®, Clearwater, New Port Richey, Tarpon Springs, Trinity FL (Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate LLC) almost 3 years ago

It was a busy and good week. I wrote two contracts. I have a third client considering writing an offer. I attended a training seminar to learn how to improve my website. Had two promising listing appointments. Met a CPA who might have a referral for me. Visited a past client who has given me two referrals, and he might have a third for me . . . WOW!

Got paid from last week's closing. Scheduled a closing for 5/18.

My daughter finished her first year of law school!!!

Quality Family Time: Went to the new Yankee Stadium with my family, and enjoyed the Yankees-Red Sox game (unfortunately the Yankees lost again). Enjoyed dinner out with the family on Wednesday.

Thanks, Mike. I love doing this!
