When you want something done, you ask a busy person!  The best solution to a softer market is harder work, and that philosophy has worked well for me these past couple of years during a market where there are more challenges.   I am as busy as ever and really enjoying Real Estate.  One of my favorite things about my job is working with first time home buyers, and I have worked with many this year.   It gives me a lot of satisfaction to guide them through the process and lead the way into their first home.
