Lake Texoma Real Estate

Day in and day out I'm asked by someone or I hear one of the agent's in our office being asked - "So how is your market?"  Time and time again I hear agents say "Oh, it's been really slow", one agent even said to a previous client "Really not making a bit of money right now, just trying to get by". 

Now before you start thinking our market is suffering - because it sure isn't - let me tell you a little about the agent's I'm hearing these comments from - these are the agents who:  don't come into the office(Yeah - I'm really going to hand out leads to that wonderful agent sitting on the couch watching soap operas who thinks all they had to do to get rich was get a real estate license!!), don't return client calls (Really? You're that busy?), have no interest in learning anything new that could help them turn their business around (HELLO! I can tell you what you need to be doing - just can't make you do it!!), and above all - Your attitude really sucks!

Everyday, whether I have appointments or not - I get up, get dressed and I head into the office (now the office part might now apply to some of the agents that work at home - but still you should do the part of getting up and getting dressed!)

I get to the office early so that I can get a start on the day before everyone else gets there and being that we have such a storefront real estate office I think it allows previous clients and all those soon-to-be clients a chance to see that I'm always working!  That this is not a hobby to me - this is my career!

I make a list of things I plan to accomplish for the day (I'll admit, I'm easily sidetracked- so a list is very good for me).

After getting my list together - with a positive attitude about how wonderful my day could end up being - I start brainstorming for my business, for new ways to get my clients homes sold, the list goes on.......

And due greatly in part to the fact that I am truly excited about real estate in our area, when people ask me how our market is - I can truthfully tell them "It's absolutely great! 

So tell me, which agent would you want to work with?

This week I had the pleasure of visiting the Florida Keys.  We started out in Fort Meyers, spent the night there -had an absolute blast!  The following morning we hit the ground running super early to take the Key West Express to the island.  I thought I was in heaven when we pulled into the harbor - the water was amazing, the boats were huge, the houses were charming and there was shopping everywhere!

Whenever I visit somewhere I think about what it would be like to be a local and live where I'm vacationing, full time.  To me it would be extremely difficult to live in such tight spaces (a huge house there is 1,500 sq feet) and most of the time there is no yard.  Driving around by scooter might make up for this though... :-) 

Then I thought back to Texas - closer to Dallas there are areas where you can purchase a huge home with a nice yard, the jobs are plentiful, tons of shopping - but the problem I kept coming back to was that all the houses are alike...

So to summarize - for us at least, Lake Texoma is the best place on earth - we can enjoy the vast open waters (and I won't have to worry about pirates or ending up in Cuba), shopping within driving distance, big backyard, larger homes, close to my office  -- and the houses at the lake come in a variety of different types!  Lake cottage, cedar homes near the water, new construction in town, the list goes on....
