Just Sold - A Certified Residential Specialist Referred This Listing To Us To Sell - WHY use a CRS?

New Year Eve Closing in a Market that's Not Supposed to Be good.New Years Eve ended on a good note with a Real Estate Hat Trick:) -1.  a NEW Listing (see our next blog post) 2. a BPO and 3. this Real Estate Closing!

With a verbal offer in only 18 days on the Market and our positive experiences with Reverse Offers this year, we put a Reverse Counteroffer in writing to the Buyers agent to present to the buyers and 32 days later we closed!

We've invited the out of town REALTOR, CRS, who contacted us with this listing lead to AR.  He found us on Grace Safrin's  CRS WEBSITE.

Completing the Education this past Spring and submitting the Proof of required annual Real Estate Sales to become a Certified Residential Specialist has paid off!                                                                  Grace Safrin - Certified Residentail Specialist

Consumers who have a lifelong REALTOR will ask them for a referral if they own out of town properties.

Certified Residential Specialists are a part of a network of worldwide designees who hold a coveted      designation that only a small percentage of Agents achieve. If you are looking for a REALTOR for your future Real Estate Transaction, you may want to consider what a CRS offers.....before you choose!

Attitude Determines Recovery !

Attitude determines Recovery  

In this Challenging Real Estate Market - there are Positive happenings - although you won't see these reported on the News....  When asked this frequent question: How is the Real Estate Market?  We do not hesitate for one moment to turn it around and ask right back " Why? Are you thinking of Buying or Selling?

Attitude..is a personal choice.

Here are what a few experts have to say :)

Warren Buffet  said just a few days ago ...

" A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. "

Donald Trump said recently about Critics:

" To me it's a negative approach that doesn't serve any purpose! "

An old sayng that applies to attitude goes like this:

If you think you can, You Can!  If you think you can't, you probably can't. Either way, you are right!

 A more personal story I have witnessed myself involves an 80 year old Italian grandmother who was being told THE statistics about her chances of recovery from open heart surgery bypass pre-operatively by her Famous and Well Educated and Very Experienced Cardiac Surgeon.

Stopping him mid stream in his explanation of THE FACTS, she waived her finger at him and said "Listen here sonny.....I have my grandson's wedding to go to in 6 weeks! Now, I don't care about these numbers. Are you gonna do Your best ? If you do, God will fix the rest if he is willing!   But, I need to know that YOU have a POSITIVE attitude, despite how things look!

Needless to say...Her Attitude influenced her RECOVERY !

She was up in a chair sipping soup 24 hours after surgery. Out of ICU in 4 days, out of the hospital in 8 and came back to show us photos from the wedding a few months later:)

 Professional REALTORS do their best to be part of the Solution, despite how things look, despite consumer fears and critical media.  We persevere to get the job done and then months later, we come back and show you our photos...  of Homes Sold, even in a market that's not supposed to be good:)

Attitude Determines Recovery !
