What are we supposed to do…WAIT????
So – I think I always maintain a positive attitude especially considering what has happened to my industry as a mortgage broker in the last couple years. Today I was calling prospects I haven’t talked to since December of 2008 to see when they were ready to “jump”. I was amazed to find out that most of the best qualified buyers who have been– “WAITING” for “THE BOTTOM” or “TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS” or for “RATES TO GO TO 4%” are now on the verge of unemployment, unemployed, or just freaked out due to the drop in…well…EVERYTHING! So being “the glass is half full” kinda guy that I am and having had a really tough fall and winter of 2008 I am even starting to get depressed listening to these people and wondering…”What are we supposed to do?” My answer would be this and you have heard it before…We are supposed to get up every morning knowing great things are in our future no matter how down you are. Perception is reality and if you start getting down you will bring everyone around you down too! This is easier said then done but it’s that or go flip burgers…which by the way is more profitable than the real estate industry now!
