Virtually in Vancouver

I attended the Real Estate Conference in Seattle 2 weeks ago. It was 2 days of new learning in Real Estate Marketing. I didn't regret a thing even though I spent a lot of money for the seminar because when I came back to Vancouver and applied the system it sure works! It's only been 2 weeks, but I believe I can triple my commission in 2010 because of the new business system I'm using. It also means I can help more clients to achieve their Real Estate goals in 2010 in a smooth and unstress transactions.

Anyway, I wish I was open minded and was thinking outside the box few years ago when I started my career. I felt like I wasted so much time doing the same things like other Realtors did. However, I did a lot of self-developments in my spare time because I believe success comes from the inside out. Furthermore, I made it to the Top Producer in 2008. Thanks to all my friends who trusted me in Real Estate.

As Realtor and Mortgage Broker, I swing my schedules with my clients. I knew there was a different way to leverage myself while vacationing. Yes, I love to travel and this is why I'm Self-Employed. Two days ago, I came across a guy name Nate Kennedy and watched his webinar, "Learn How To Make Money Multiple Ways Before You Even Close A Real Estate Deal". We have the same careers and not only that, he also believes that Internet Marketing is a great way to generate an income while you travel. He joined the MLM and Internet Marketing and earns more than his real estate commission.


Today, I found another guy named Deagan Smith--The King of Never Call A Single Lead. I ordered his CDs for only $ 1. Like my Seattle Seminar sucess results, I will try and duplicate what Deagan teaches. I believe MLM is a great way of leveraging time and money. I like to have an income while I'm sleeping. No, im not lazy! I am driven single female. If other people made it succesful on Internet Marketing, I can too!!!

To end this blog. I want to share with you James Allen's quote:

"Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him".

I will be in Chicago for more than two weeks spending my Christmas and New Year with family, but I know I will be generating clients while I'm virtually in Vancouver. Clients=Help=$$$. I like to buy another investment in 2010 and donate my time in a third world country to helping orphanage children to Dream Big!

For now, I am pre-occupied learning the Secret of Internet Marketing and getting ready for my winter trip! Sometimes, we just have to try new things to have different results! Isn't it Life is Beautiful?

CANADIAN HOUSING: FIRST IN, FIRST OUT

BUT WHERE TO FROM HERE?

Existing home sales and prices, as provided by the Canadian Real Estate Association
(CREA), went through a sharp downturn last year, falling by 40% and
12% respectively from their peak of late 2007. Just as quickly and sharply, a phenomenal rebound kicked off early this year and was still going strong early in the
fourth quarter. From their trough sales had surged by 74% as of October, while the
average price was 20% higher.

In this extremely sharp two-year cycle, the housing market has undeniably
held up to its ‘fi rst-in, fi rst out’ (FIFO) historical billing. The downturn in existing home sales and prices (Q1/2008) preceded the start of the technical recession(dated Q4/2008) by three quarters. On the fl ip side, the strong recovery in existing home sales and prices that started in earnest in Q1/2009 led the end of the technical recession (dated Q3/2009) and the start of the overall economic recovery by at least two quarters.

Furthermore, the Canadian resale housing market downturn and recovery was
as V-shaped as can be. A quick glance at the chart at the top of the next page shows
sales and the average price could make a calligrapher green with envy. The length of
each leg of this cycle was also nearly symmetric with the downturn lasting roughly
all of 2008 and the ensuing recovery spanning all of this year.

While in the thick of a recession, the strongest countervailing force that set the
stage for the mother of all rebounds, apart from lower prices, was lower interest
rates. Recall that the Bank of Canada began easing its monetary policy back in late
2007, when it was becoming clear that the U.S. economy was tilting into recession
and would surely drag Canada along with it.

By the time the recession offi cially hit in Canada a full year later, the overnight rate had already been slashed from 4.50% to 2.25%, more than halfway en route to its all-time low of 0.25% by April 2009.

All said, the housing market has gone beyond retracing its steps and fully
recovering from the end of 2007 – which had marked the peak of a half-decade
long boom, concentrated in Western Canada. As of October 2009, national sales
were running at a blistering 550K annual pace and the average price was $340K.
