What do you worry about?

If you're a typical Realtor in Los Angeles, then you probably worry about the current market conditions. If you are a home buyer or seller, then it's probably very much on your mind. Even though we all know that Real Estate is cyclical, it still can be a scary time. I know that every day I get out and meet new clients or work with buyers on their first home purchase I always have to show confidence even when I sometimes don't feel all that confident. The news media doesn't help - do we really need to be bombarded 24/7 with clips of the stock market floor in a frenzy? Or see the graphs depicting home prices falling? I have chosen not to surround myself (as much as possible) with negative images and noise. I choose not to have a TV in my home. I choose to walk away from negative energy in my industry and surround myself with people that move forward, no matter what. Will this correct the real estate cycle? Maybe not immediately but in the long term, it will definitely be moving it in the right direction. So the next time I hesitate to answer a question from my buyer or seller, remember, it's not necessarily that I don't know the answer - it could be that I'm just taking the time to catch my breath and remember that what goes down, DOES indeed go up.
