End of the week catch-up

Wow, did this week fly by? I have several left over notes for blog topics that did not make it into print this week so thought I’d just recap them today and start again fresh next week.

1. We have decided to expand our business and create a small group of like minded real estate professionals who find working together in a team atmosphere more rewarding than doing it alone. The idea is retain individual identity and business but to work together making each team member more successful. If you are an agent or know an agent you would like to discuss joining the team, let me know by sending me an email or checking out my team page at www.jalone.com.
2. There is a new family update and links to the Kevyn and Dave wedding photos on the Jalone family page.
   
3. Check out my latest Rocklin & Roseville Today Column, “More Discouraging News” which was published today.
   
4. Last but not least to the sellers out there: This is a difficult time in our real estate market with changes that have come on faster than I think many of us would have expected. The rapid growth in inventory, lower demand and now buyers who are hesitant to purchase all combine to make this a difficult time to sell. Remember that there are still buyers out there who are anxious to find their perfect home and it only takes one to fall in love with your home and make an offer. Right now showings are infrequent and open houses are sparkly attended. Although the next few weeks will remain very slow as the summer season wraps up, I am expecting some increased activity in September, after Labor Day. Hang-in there, be patient and make each showing count.
