Home is Where The Heart Is

It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home. What does real estate have to do with building a career from home? Well since you asked... When you become a work-at-home parent, your home becomes more than just a place to raise your family. It becomes your office, your sanctuary and in some cases, a potential for earning investment income that could help to fund your business. Your home ownership situation could be an imposition or an advantage depending on the amount of knowledge that you have. More than half of the country’s population owns a home, so understanding the current housing market could be critical to your game. The amount of foreclosures and short sales are at an all time high. If you have been forced into one of these situations, you will be looking to get back into the housing market at the most appropriate time. How do you know when the time is right? Having the right information about the housing trends will guide you to when you can buy again as well as help you see the big picture on growing your business and providing for your family. Planning and development are a multi-tasking mom's secret ingredients. The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned. - Maya Angelou This week I will be bringing on my good friend and personal real estate guru, Brian Melville. I asked Brian to be my guest this Friday for so many reasons. Not only is he one of the most knowledgeable real estate experts in his industry, I have watched him drive his personal career and thrive no matter what the industry trends suggested. His perseverance and tenacity for his field has remained unwavered. We could all use a little lesson on how to be the last one standing when the competition throws in the towel. On Friday we are going to talk about STAYING POWER and how to leverage your current situation into reaching your desired results in record breaking time.
