I have many conversations with REALTORS every single day..as a matter of fact..I tend to speak to more agents nationwide in a day...than those in my own office. Strange right? No not really.
A funny thing happens in Daytona Beach and I know it happens nationwide..where some agents end their 2008 business today...because of the words that I dread..."it's the holidays!"
Really...in my mind..the holidays..last..1 day for each holiday!
Now I could care less what others do...but when they cry to me they have nothing going on.. We evaluate...I wonder why.... until we start talking.......and its pretty easy to figure out......when they are out shopping.... or taking extra days off to put their decorations up...shop and plan for the holidays. What about your business?
My business coincides with my spending..so if I am not working...I wonder...will my money tree fully blossom in time for that overrated...commercialized holiday...that causes many to pay for...for the entire 2009? (believe me that is a whole different post)
Today one of my friends called..yes and wondered why I was working..."C'mon its the holidays..ditch working and come shopping with me"....and my reply?????
"I have to work today and cannot afford to take the day off......because when the rest of the world takes off for the holidays and many will...some people will be shopping for houses or a great opportunity will present itself...I have to make sure everything is in order.....I'll be ready..but know..
I will be taking December 25th off...and New Years day...but every other day...
I'm available for work!
How about you? How much time do you take off for the holidays? Are you one of the agents that ends their year early or are you gearing up for a great selling holiday season?
