Weekly Update 05-04-12

I probably should apologize for not writing one of these last week, not sure if anyone noticed or actually reads these but here goes. I had some relatives in from up in Ohio last week (My sister and her hubby). One of the topics of conversation was their upcoming retirement. This really got me thinking, am I ever going to retire? The answer is probably not. Real Estate is a great career and is actually my second after kind of retiring from the automotive business. It is one of the few careers that you can do that you can be as busy as you want to be (or not). I amy wind it down a bit someday but probably will keep my hand in it as long as I can. Actually one of my more successful Realtors (Joe Baker) who is a retired engineer really enjoys the flexilbilty that we afford him with our Virtual Office concept. Work at your own pace and never have to come to an office. Pretty loose dress code too, except maybe when you are with clients :). Oh and did I forget NO FEES! This week too has been a busy one. Much news in the industry but probably the biggest is the fact that the homes available for sale are dwindling, more buyers than we have quality homes to sell. Hopefully the people who have been holding back on the sale of their home for fear that they can't get a fair price for it will catch hold of this and get it back on the market. I know my agents are standing by and all of them could use more quality homes in their listing base. Buyer activity levels are up and the good properties are once again fielding multiple offers. Well I am going to keep this short and wish you all a good weekend. If you get a chance and you actually read these an occassional like comment if you see this on facebook would be appreciated and maybe even join the blog (does anyone do that anymore???) would be great too. Maybe I should include recipes?? Those that require alcohol????
