Welcome back everyone! Today, I want to discuss the topic of working through the holidays. 

We often hear agents from other companies complaining about how slow the real estate market is this time of year. Many agents decide to simply take this time off and start up again after the new year.  

I am of the opinion that it's not a slow time of year at all! It's only slow if you convince yourself that it is. It's important to keep a positive mental outlook throughout the holiday season if you want to go into 2015 with some momentum.

Taking time off now will affect your whole next year - your January and February will be weaker if you decide to take time off now. Reasons to continue working through the holidays are many, but here are just a few:

• It's a great time for sellers. There is less inventory for homeowners to compete with, making the holidays a solid time to get more money in less time.
• Home buyers are more motivated. People who are looking for homes around the holidays have a reason to be. 
• There are thousands of potential buyers. There are many people from out of town visiting our area right now. A lot of times these people are buying homes, which is potential business for you.
• Other Realtors are taking time off. With fewer Realtors to compete with, you have a better chance of getting business during this time.

If you have any questions about the many reasons why you should stay hard at work this holiday season, or if you would like some tips on how to get your business ready for the upcoming year, don't hesitate to give me a call or shoot me an email. I would love give you a hand!
