Happy New Year

As one more year comes to an end, we tend to take a look back at what the year was like. We make an assessment of the positive, the negative and the balance. At least that is part of what I like to do every time we come near the end of a year.

In this case I also want to add one more component to my analysis, expectations. What were my expectations at the beginning of the year? were they met? how close or far were they from the target. Starting this year, I will write down my forecast for the upcoming year so that later, when 2010 is coming to a close, I can compare it to what actually took place.

I wonder if any of you already do this? and if you have, would you mind sharing your experiences with us?

I know that today I am completely off topic, and you all must be wondering what all this has to do with Real Estate. Well, it doesn’t. Still I think it is a great excercise that helps you asses your life, your goals, and correct whatever needs correcting. For some people like myself, this will include assessing if my real estate goals, not only as an agent but as an investor, are still on target or if I have to make any changes. But that is only a small area of the whole plan.

Anyway my dear readers, I want to wish you all a great end to your year, however good or bad it may have been, know that we are about to close it and we are facing a new one, filled with opportunities. Make the most of them!

Happy New Year
