Merry Christmas | Blessings of 2007
December 21st, 2007 Categories: Odds and Ends
As 2007 nears its end, I just wanted to take a moment and let everyone know how much I value your reading and commenting on my blog. And I sincerely appreciate your support of my business.
God has blessed me, both personally and professionally, in so many ways this year. And for that I am humbly grateful. In that spirit, I would like to pass along a few things I am personally thankful for this year, in the hope that it will encourage you to think about the blessings in your own life.
2007 has been an interesting year for my career in many ways. Over the past five years I have built a very robust relocation business. What a pleasure that has been. I have had the honor of helping dozens of wonderful families move their lives to our area.
During the past 6 months, that relocation business slowed down quite a bit as clients in struggling real estate markets across the country experienced extended delays in their plans while they waited for their homes to sell. I’m pleased to report that things have begun to improve for many families who found themselves in this situation. A number of clients were able to find buyers towards the end of the year and move forward with their plans to relocate to the greater Raleigh area. A true blessing for everyone involved!
If you’re still waiting for your home to sell somewhere around the country, hang in there. It will happen. Keep working with your Realtor to get ahead of the market and capture the most money possible. It can be done.
One blessing that I am particularly thankful for is the dramatic increase in referral business that took place just as my relocation business began to slow. The highest compliment I can ever be given is for someone to recommend me to a friend or family member. This surge in referrals came at the perfect time… just when I needed it most. Thank you to everyone who referred clients to me in 2007!
Another blessing has been the successful launch of RaleighRealEstateTalk.com. This new website, with a blog as its main focus, has allowed me to greatly expand my reach to people searching the Internet for homes. It also allows me to share information about the area and real estate buying and selling tips with all of my readers on a regular basis. A very special thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read what I write, comment on my articles, and especially those who have sought my help with their real estate transaction!
I sincerely hope that you too have enjoyed many blessings in 2007. God’s grace is all around us. I would appreciate it very much if you could take a few minutes and leave a comment below about how you have been blessed this year. My hope is that there will be positive comments left here from dozens of people sharing the good that has happened in their lives during 2007 and that it will be yet another blessing to all who read it.
Merry Christmas to everyone and I’ll be back here, writing again, right after the holidays. I look forward taking RaleighRealEstateTalk.com to even higher levels, and sharing even more about the Raleigh real estate market with all of you in 2008!
