Where she is working in the chocolate factory and the assembly line starts going faster and faster and she tries to cope with the increasing speed. She starts by neatly organizing the candy in the boxes, carefully placing each morsel. As the speed increases, she copes with it by shoving the candy in the boxes by the handful and when the speed is increased yet again, she starts stashing it in her shirt and her mouth. It was a hilarious episode that had the audience in stitches.
That was me this week. Activity here is at a feverish pitch. Frenzied "looking"; less contracts; less accepted contracts; and even less closings. The buyers are nervous and they are slow to pull the trigger. The lenders can put fewer and fewer deals together. It's tough!
We still do a lot of business, but we work a lot harder for it. A new product that is really gaining momentum is the "lease to own". If you are not adept at that, I highly recommend that you garner that education. It is a wonderful opportunity for both buyers and sellers. I will blog more about it in the future.
For short sales, we have found a good company to mediate them. We share our listing commission with them 50-50, but they make it happen for us and our clients. I will blog more about that subject soon.

At least it's not like the time Lucy got into a fight with another woman while stomping grapes!
Things are starting to pick up in the Fredericksburg, Virginia area.
Ah, that was a good one, Kenny! I loved that episode too. I hope that doesn't come next...
Thanks for sharing!
We've noticed increased traffic since a day after Christmas. How about the rest of you?
Thanks Debbie for your comment!
I would love to hear from as many agents as possible on this increase of activity!
Mirela - I have no idea what you are talking about. Who's Lucy? :-)
That was awesome, Jason! Thank you!
How do you do that?
It was so nice to get a visual of that episode! Thank you very much!
That is one of Lucy's funniest episodes. I guess that at one time or another we can all relate to that craziness of not being able to keep up with what is demanded of us. Seeing the humor in the situation helps, doesn't it? I agree with you that the lease to own option can be very useful to both seller and buyer. It is a good thing that it is happening more often.
