What to do for NYE?

I hope everyone had a very Happy Holiday. Looks like it may rain here New Years Eve, but there are some awesome events occuring all over town...First Night in Downtown Raleigh, Dinners at Peak City and Ocean Grill in Apex. What are your plans?

New Year, New Market

I picked up a real estate book yesterday, by Gary Keller. Shift is the title, and I started to read it, thinking about gearing up for the New Year. He's got some great insight into how the market has shifted and how its going to be harder for agents to get ahead. We are going to have to work harder, and smarter. Pricing homes is going to have to be more realisitic, and buyers are too.

We've been told several times in the past months to "go back to basics"--the habits we used to have of asking for business, handing out business cards, getting out there with our sphere of influence, and being the source of economic "good news". Luckily for us in the Triangle, our market is not nearly as down as many other metro areas. We've got people moving here daily--and as long as they can sell what they currently have--they will buy here.

So as I prepare for the holidays and make New Year's party plans, I have enthusiasm and excitement to get going! What better way to network than a party?

I got an email today from Peak City Grill in Apex, they are having their New Years Eve Party and it sounds wonderful! Check it out at www.peakcitygrill.com
