The Power of Positive
Thinking... |
|
There are many positive things to say
about the current state of the market.
Sales aren't much different from 2005. And, if
a house is staged right, priced right, and you have a good
agent, it'll sell.
If you have the cash to invest in good quality
residential or commercial rental property, now is a great time
to buy! In fact, it is so good that you might regret not
having done so when this market turns around!
If you're a new citizen of New Orleans and inclined
to buy, or just moving up in category, this is a fabulous time
to invest your money in real estate. Even if you're
moving out of town, there isn't much to fret about
because that new home you're buying is also worth less
money!
The major negative component of the current market is
fear. So, it's essential that we all keep something
important in mind. Corrections are not all bad,
nor uncommon, or without an end.
A little positive thinking will go a long way.
I am at your service, and devoted to excellence in real
estate transactions.

| My
Grandpa, Edward Holland... |

My maternal Grandpa was a very successful
Industrialist, and my hero. Among the many interesting
things he told me, here's the one that's stuck in my
mind: Middleton, a quick adjustment to the inevitable
makes for a peaceful mind and a happy life". Yes,
sir! |
| Choosing and Agent? Keep it
professional. |
|
Recently, I asked a young lady, who was moving out
of her home, if she had obtained the services of a real
estate agent. Her answer: "Yes, I have, he's my
brother's wife's cousin".
At face value there's nothing unusual about her
response. But in all too many instances, when choosing an
agent, buyers and sellers loose sight of
an important fact. Their choice is responsible for
buying or selling a home that's very possibly their
largest asset.
Though it might be contrary to polite New Orleans
thinking, with all due respect may I suggest the
following: When selecting an agent to handle your
transaction, you might first consider interviews with more
than one agent to qualify their demonstrable
competency, fit with your personality, ability to
maximize your opportunities, and detailed focus to lead
you to a successful purchase or sale.
Letting social connections, blood relations, and
friendships, guide your real estate decisions may not be to
your advantage. Avoid the hassle, hire a professional and keep
the relationship on that
level. | |
