Can't bank on Hope Steve Penner . December and January were always two of my strongest months although most agents in my town just hang it up and relax those two months. In fact many move South in December and come back in late March or Early April to resume their "career".

I like December personally, as I really enjoy the Christmas season.  Business wise, sometimes it is slow and sometimes it is booming and I definitely prefer when it is booming, haha.

Professionally:

December is a busy month business wise. However, of greater importance is to make the time to acknowledge the CHARACTER of those I know in a personal correspondence.

Personally:
Rejoice that I have those in my life I know well enough to see and appreciate their character and those attributes of their lives that make them so uniquely special. I am blessed, blessed indeed.

I prefer to take in the season and spend time with family but we also have the duty to represent and serve.

I love every day I wake up, but December's got it's charm- Christmas is the highlight, it's also my Birthday month & the time when NAR sends me that nice $1,200 + bill. Don't sit around long, it will be done before you know it. At this busy time of the year, make it a December to remember.
