How does this Gig Harbor Realtor handle the “down market?”

Posted by Matt Thomson

I keep hearing bad news about the real estate market.  People approach me as if my dog just died when they ask, “How’s the market?  How’s your business doing?”  I appreciate the concern, as things have slowed down a bit…slowed down to a normal market.  With 2 great sales this past week (by great, I mean perfect homes for the buyers…I love seeing people realize that they’ve found “the home”), I can hear the doom and gloom and just…

Shake it off

Shake it off!  Both homes I sold this past week were in the Rosedale area of Gig Harbor.  Yes, the market has changed.  But this is one real estate agent who won’t participate in the pity party.  Does that make me tough or defiant?  Nope…it means I have a company of leaders around me at Keller Williams who can guide me, remind me that this market is normal, and support me as I move on.

    Great Matt, it says a lot about your ability as a Realtor and as a professional to be getting lots of sales. Real Estate transactions will always happen even during “slower” periods…I think our market will always be good due to the special place that we are blessed to be living in!!!
