Foreclosures-Foreclosures-Foreclosures ... the housing market has been greatly affected by them for the past 3 years. However, with the controversey of foreclosure paperwork being a "rubber stamped" process at the end of last year and with it still being tweaked, the number of foreclosures on a national scale has continued to decrease. According to RealtyTrac's latest report, February saw a 27% decrease from February 2010. As of the end of February, RealtyTrac has Texas ranked as #23 with a total of 11,562 houses that are in the foreclosure process.  So what does that mean for us in the Lake Ray Hubbard area?

Thomas A Edison once quoted:   "I haven't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work" Yes, that is what we face when we are marketing, trying build our business or simply rearranging furniture.  This quote from Thomas Edison is a positive reminder that just because you don't get it right the first time, second or third time, it doesn't mean you are a failure.  You just have not found what works for you.  It can be restated as:  don't ever, ever give up!  Great things don't happen overnight.  You need to be persistent, patient and have a passion for what you are trying to accomplish. "By Perserverance, the snail reached the ark"     So, whatever you are trying to accomplish: Keep Your Head Up Keep Your Integrity Intact Keep Your Feet On The Ground and...don't ever, ever give up!     ...
