Brick by Brick my Friend. Brick by Brick...

As a REALTOR I have questioned myself lately as why I spend the hours I do trying to grow a business that the media has said is “dead” for the next 3-5 years. Am I addicted to phone calls at 6:45am asking about the land I have for sale? Have I soiled my resume by becoming a REALTOR(which some will tell you is just a notch above a used car salesman)? Will I have to take a second job to support my “Hobby” until the market comes back? My answer is NO.

There have always been Successors to the doomed market environment. Is it harder to sell Real Estate today? Yes. I will have to think smarter and work harder at selling property in this unforgiving market just as people did during the years of the great depression. During that time of hardship people gave up leisure activities, worked long hours, and accepted price controls and rationing for many years.

I did a search in the Santa Fe MLS for Espanola Real Estate for Sale, Single Family Homes under $250,000. Currently there are over 130 homes for sale. I started to think…. have I done my job as a REALTOR to let the public know about this? Do the people in the Espanola Valley actually KNOW that there are OVER 130 homes on the market? Do they know that a 30 year mortgage at 6.5% for $250,000 is roughly $1,600 per month?

I cannot assume people know this. After all, if they knew about Real Estate I wouldn’t have a Profession. I will work harder and smarter by educating the consumers that now is the time to BUY. Now is the time to INVEST. I will look at this chaos as an opportunity to reach those who are looking for their chance at a “good deal.” According to Donald Trump, 90% of the world’s millionaires have made their wealth in real estate.

My new mission as a business owner in this current economy and community is to educate and inform the consumer that now is the time to buy LOW and the day will come again when they can sell HIGH and prosper in their gains.
