I have been hearing so many agents lately saying that they are really struggling because of tough market conditions, the mortgage mess and a lot of other things. I have been through up and down markets over the past 14 years and there is always one determining factor for the ongoing success that I have had regardless of what was going on around me in the office and real estate market.
Our job in real estate is not to worry about market conditions or anything else beyond our control. Our job, our only job is to find buyers that want to buy and sellers that want to sell and match them up, that’s it, it really is that simple. It is starting to bother me a bit when people use obstacles beyond their control as barriers to success.
As I wrote this, I remembered a line in one of my favorite movies and I want you to watch it if you are one of those agents that uses every excuse in the book instead of stepping up and taking control of your own success.
Here is the clip, enjoy:
