All these facts are true, but it's also true that you have a real estate license and you need to earn a living. So let's pivot to see why you can still not just survive but thrive. We'll look at some facts and some immediate action steps to take. REAL ESTATE LEADS, LEADS and more LEADS: Question: What is Tim and Julie Harris's favorite PROBATE LEAD PROVIDER? Simple, https://alltheleads.com/harris Facts: -Mortgage Interest Rates fell by a 1/2 point last week and are on track to at least stabilize, if not fall in the future.   -Demand is still very high, with nearly 3 offers for every closed transaction last month. -Home prices continue to climb. This means the market is not crashing like people thought it would with higher rates. -It doesn't pay to wait. Rates will probably come down and settle around 6 to 6.5%, but prices won't come down at the same rate, in fact, they probably won't come down at all! Evidence of this is the last big inflationary cycle during the late 70's and early 80's. Even when rates were as high as 19%, prices didn't fall, people still bought and sold and the sun kept rising and setting.

What to do NOW to be sure you'll survive and thrive? Will you still be in business next year, or will you be real estate road kill?  1.   Get and follow an actual business plan immediately.  The Real Estate Treasure Map, Survival Plan, and 90-Day Massive Action Plan are all included in Premier Coaching. You will have specific goals, an actual schedule, and a lead generation plan to follow.  2.   Stop spending money on things that don't work or things that you think might work someday. You're gambling on your success when you're dependent on someone or something else to give you business. Do more of what IS working starting today. 3.   Speak to 100% of your database before the end of the year. A minimum of 5 contacts per day on work days, but more is better. Use your F-O-R-D script and ask whom they know who could use your help buying or selling real estate. Offer a free comparative market analysis.   4.   Systematize your open house system and have effective opens every weekend that's not a holiday weekend between now and the end of the year. Follow up immediately with all prospects.  5.   Spend more time speaking to prospects about real estate than you do doom-scrolling for details about the commission lawsuits and other things you have no control over.
