The Recession is Cycling Its Way Out of the Country

Dear Mr. Recession,

I'm not sure why I think you're of the male persuasion, but I do. However, I must admit I was momentarily stunned by last night's announcement on national news: 80% of economists think the recession is over. Yep, done, history, over. Pack your bags, you're leaving the country!

Based on my unscientific poll of one real estate agent (that would be me) I side with the 80% using this week as my guiding North Star. There's a new listing to post today, an offer to submit and an early email announced an offer is coming in on last week's new listing. Two prospective buyers called yesterday and asked me to add them to my Active List. I received three inquires on my raw land and commercial listings on LoopNet last weekend. An investor called and said he has cash and wants to "go play" while the market is still low. I really did not need Charles or Katie to tell me Mr. Recession is cycling his way out of the country.

So Mr. Recession, even though I adjusted to your ways, changed my strategy and modus operandi I am not going to miss you. I will remember the lessons learned, new marketing methods found and continue to benefit from the changes made to survive your brutal ways. You're arrival forced me to examine the way I run my business (I did not know what a blog was before you arrived), my life and re-evaluate my priorities. Some of life's best lessons are painful to endure but generate immense growth and positive change.

The economists have spoken. Be on your way. Bon Voyage!
