I flew into Denver airport this month and as usual hit bumpy air over the Rockies. As you fly east, warm and cold air meet to create a unique weather pattern that almost always results in a fastening of seat belts! Thing is, because I know it’s coming, I always fasten my belt ahead of time and when the turbulence hits, it’s not such a shock to the system.

Working in the real estate industry requires this kind of forethought to prepare for the possibility of turbulence and offset the gusts of a fickle market.

Contrary to current news reports, the real estate and lending business is not coming to an end. But there’s still some choppy air ahead. There are short sales and foreclosures, difficulties in getting people loans, and buyers who are waiting for the market to bomb out. But the truth is, people need to move, people need to live somewhere and people are going to buy and sell homes.

So strap in, work hard, and keep your head down…smoother air is ahead and after we pass through the turbulence it’ll be blue skies and great views as our businesses once again soar.

It’s a good life!
