Everyday I have at least 5 or 6 articles on my Goggle Reader about the current Fiasco we are going through here in Michigan and across the country. Being the eternal optimist that I am, I force myself to read them to keep a realistic perspective of the market and work on solutions that will help overcome some of these areas. The most realistic thing I have discovered so far, is that most of the major problems out there, I can nothing about. Now, I also read about 12 to 24 positive articles per day about what we can do to off set these negatives, prepare for the spring market, improve our presentations, increase our search engine hits, sharpen up our current listings, improve our skills in general and countless other positive attributes that have always been good to focus on this time of year. Why should this year be any different?

So, Merry Christmas, here is my gift of the "Attributes of a Successful Real Estate Agent" for your use the balance of this year and your improved 2008. I Keep this list close by year round. Hope you enjoy!
