Hula and Real Estate

It seems that summertime the prices are high and 4th quarter or fall/winter the prices drop so of course everyone wants to wait until then to purchase. In every other market that might be a good idea, but hummm I think you may lose this time if you wait too long. We know that interest will go up to help keep the economy from diving after the election, so waiting may not be a good idea. Sure the prices may drop but if interest goes up your in the same boat, so why not get the home you want now and be snug as a bug in a rug by wintertime? Just a thought.

Then for my cash only buyers.....the wait till 4th quarter may be to your advantage if your not in a hurry.....but.....your choices will be less, so you decide.

As always.....you can't go wrong with Real Estate it will always be a good investment.

Have a safe and profitable day.

Everyone calls this Hump Day what a strange name but I suppose it represents the center of the week, that much closer to the week-end. I think since Realtors work more on the week-ends with clients and Open Houses that we can't use that term at all. Actually I don't think we have a Hump Day, for now I'll call it Crash Day and that must be Monday for us. That's the follow up, get caught up, run your errands etc. day. Of course everyday could be a Hump or Crash day depending on your profession guess it's just best to call it all Good instead. Each day stands alone and can be wasted or productive but its a choice that we make on our own, no matter how you choose it's your very own day to do what you want....hummm guess I'll be productive today.

If priced low, REO's are gone in a heartbeat with multiple offers beating down the door. However when an REO is priced the same as Market Value used to compare normal Home Sales, it is slow and long.

I currently have an REO (brokers listing) that is priced at Market Value, so I think it's going to sit for awhile. Not good for Bank or Property, too bad the Bank didn't recognize that the BPO (broker price opinion) was actually a great price. Instead they decided on there own price, so it looks like I'll sit at the Open Houses for a few weeks until the Bank gets the hint that price needs to be lowered, to get it sold.

Doing my job and still loving it.

HI there bloggers, I'll be out of town till the 8th visiting friends and family. Have a wonderful 4th of July and I'll catch up when I return.

Remember to invest in your future and yourself with the right Real Estate, your pocketbook depends on it.

Most of the time it means Open House's but today it's Boat Day at the Harbor, and now that my husband has the boat ready for sailing, off we go.

Have a wonderful day.

Busy, busy, busy....this business is very busy. You have buyers and sellers and both are pulling you in different directions. You have to get new input so training is vital each week and with the new laws and contracts and lender issues and government assignments...yikes it just makes you nonstop busy. So I've decided that we need to add on more busy activity to the list and I'm going to call it connect. A day and time each month to just connect with your peers over lunch. Get caught up and stay connected, they all have something to offer and it may be easier to just get together all at once then trying to see everyone individually each week.

If I didn't love my business I would be less busy, so for now I count my busy day's as a plus and I look forward to working with clients everyday that I can. Busy is good.

Yeah, it's finally Hula Season...I have the opportunity to dance with several different Hula groups and all of them have a terrific Summer Schedule. With my Worship Hula Team we don't perform as often but we love what we do and every opportunity we get we perform. The other Hula Groups are Lady's of Hula that perform at least once a month sometimes two or more and a new group that I've just started is Aloha Hula Friends as well as the Hui at the Leisure World in Seal Beach. All of these groups are dedicated and enthusiastic about their Hula, and I feel privileged to perform with them. I'm looking forward to the summer and the Performances!

I wanted to say thank you to my Hula sisters who have also been my clients. If it wasn't for their support of me I would not have had a terrific Real Estate year so far.

Working and Dedicated to make your Real Estate Transaction run smoothly and Working and Dedicated to perform with much Aloha.

Mahalo, Dee

Today were closing....that is my client, sellers agent, buyers agent, escrow officer, lender etc...the list really does go on. Closing day is very exciting for everyone, I want to get the keys to my clients just as soon as I can and they want the same. This is the moment everyone in a transaction works hard to accomplish, looks forward too and wishes it were over at least one week before it occurs.

But here we are today, CONGRADULATIONS your new home is ready for you, what an amazing feeling!

I look forward to working with you too, let's close some transactions together.

I'm always up for meetings, I enjoy the interaction with other Realtors and the chance to gain another tool for my tool belt. I just think that they could be a little more fun. I don't see any reason that you can't have a serious, professional meeting and also add a little fun to it.

If it were my meeting.......I would Congradulate Agents on Sales, Have a Happy Birthday of the Month treat, Maybe a giveaway from a Rep to the company, Bingo? I don't know just some little added bonus, that says WE APPRECIATE YOU AND ALL THAT YOU BRING TO OUR COMPANY. Maybe it's a female thing?

Whatever you do, work, school, etc....have a little fun, your day and life will be so much better.

Real Estate and Fun do go hand in hand.

It's already gone...we all wait for the 3 day week-ends and make plans, BBQ, see old friends or family generally eat and drink more than we need and then poof they're gone. Unlike the work load we put on hold for three days...yikes it's still sitting there on the desk waiting for our attention, and not just the desk, my e-mail is packed with more things to do then I can in one day. So, I ask you.....is a three day week-end really worth it? Absolutely, since we aren't usually bright enough to slow down on our own, we need to get caught up with friends, family and neighbors it's a medical must.

Of course the real reason for Memorial Day is not about us but about those who are gone and those who are still fighting to keep us a FREE nation, and we Honor they're sacrifice.

Thank you for all you do, we salute you.
