Its funny, for the last  several months clients, friends and community members have come up to me and asked with looks of grave concern "how are you, do you just have nothing going on at all?"  While I am truly grateful for their concern and desire to lookout for our well-being, the truth is that this market has allowed our family to differentiate ourselves in the market.  The reality is that although the market activity has fallen by roughly 50%, there have still been almost 900 transactions this year, on a total of almost $700,000,000 of Real Estate. 

Most people think that when it is a strong buyer's market such as we have today, that simply nothing is selling.  Nothing could be further from the truth, as there are still a lot of transactions going on out there.  The most accurate thing to say about a strong buyer's market is that sellers are having to compete more aggressively with eachother for each buyer. 

We have been able to compete well by simply being brutally honest with our clients about their chances of selling and being aggresive in marketing and aggresively competing with the other sellers.
