The Cost of doing Nothing.....

“The cost of doing nothing is greater than the cost of doing something, as we saw in the case of Lehman,” said Diane Swonk of Mesirow Financial, referring to the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in September. “The idea is still to save the core ideas of a market-based economy, even if that means using government as a bridge to get there.”

It is crucial to stop and reevaluate our outlook on things from time to time to gain perspective. The Pessimist will tell you that “Un-employment is HIGH and reaching 7%.” I can’t help but stop and think, “WOW, that means that 93% of Americans are working!!” The media has forecasted a dismal picture of our economy over the next several months. Don’t participate.

Our industry will always provide one ROCK solid advantage in times of recession; unlike cars and TVs that are expendable to the public, there will ALWAYS be a need for places to live.
We had an extremely successful open house this past Sunday. We thought OUTSIDE of the box and planned a six course meal, each course being served at one of our six listings. Over twenty five people viewed each home, and we have even had follow-up showings on a couple homes this week. The Espanola Area usually doesn’t see more than 2-3 people at an Open House. It was critical that we became the “Orange” when everyone else was the “Apple“.

They are absolutely right; you can’t afford to do nothing! Be the REALTOR that is still standing and growing your business, and when the dust settles your efforts will come to fruition. You have the necessary tools at your disposal, and we still have the market. New Mexico is ONE of only FIVE states not currently in a recession and is STILL expanding.
