I began doing real estate just over 2 years ago and I've been told that I got in at the wrong time.  I'm tired of all the negativity on the news in regards to the economic status of the country and the declining housing market.  Personally, I'm ready to change my current financial situation.  I've created a group where we can coach each other.  What we are doing is setting a goal of "100 Days to Change".  I've got the support of other real estate professionals who want CHANGE too.  What we are going to do are various proactive activities which will propel our business.  Every day I will reach out to individuals in my group and provide direction.  By working as a group I believe that we can provide support to each other and coach ourselves to CHANGE.  If you would like to be a part of th...

...Not ActiveRain but the rain that is washing away any hopes of our Holiday Flotilla.  http://www.ncholidayflotilla.org/ParadeDetails/Overview/tabid/68/Default.aspx I blogged a few days ago about, "What is a Flotilla?" and I would like to thank all that responded with educated and hilarious answers.  Our Holiday Flotilla is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year and it looks as it will go down in the record books as a soggy one.  The Holiday Flotilla always brings excitement not only to my family but to all in the Wrightsville Beach Community.  We hold the festive parade of boats the following Saturday after Thanksgiving.  It's a way of kicking off the Christmas Season while all the families are in town for Thanksgiving. Yesterday evening I met Debbie Prachel, Realtor from Advance,...

Yesterday was quite disappointing as a wonderful deal slipped away from me.  I've been helping investors scoop up foreclosed real estate here in the Wilmington, NC area.  Yesterday, I learned that you can't drag your heels when submitting an offer.  As the 4th quarter of the fiscal year for banks draws to a close they are wasting no time in clearing their books of REOs.  Lesson Learned!  Get those offers to purchase in as soon as possible for all REOs.

I recently attended my local Home Builders Assoc. Installation Banquet for the new officers.  This was a very nice dinner with many different speakers.  The one that caught my attention and the attention of everyone in the room was an older gentlemen who has been a builder for over 40 years.  His speech was geared around how to survive a down market and to come out on the end better than you went into it.  He talked about how he started building homes in the early 60's after he got out of the Army.  He went through the many ups and downs he had in his personal and business life.  He matched up those hard times to what was going at that point in the national and global economy as well.  One of the key points that I took away from his emotional and moving speech was that every hard time s...

Are we at the bottom of the market?  We could be, or we could be in for a long, hard uphill battle.  Well let's be optimistic, but prepare for the worst, which doesn' mean closing the doors. Being in the real estate business is like riding a roller coaster.  Although the market is nowhere near as volitile as the stock market, the attitude of a broker can be.  I learned from my father when I was a kid "Attitude is 90% of the battle".  It is so difficult to tell what the market is doing, which makes it difficult to keep a positive attitude..  One day is great  because a couple of deals look like they are going to work out. The next day sucks because everything seems to be going to the drain.  Keeping a level head and continuing to move forward, giving it our best, is much easier when we u...

Finally, at last, it is done!  I have completed my personal web page.  To most folks reading this they will think that I may be a bit slow on the times, or that a webpage is not that great of a feat.  That may be true, but web design and creative layout is not my strong suite.  If I can ask a favor of anyone that reads this blog, please check out www.JDTerry.com.  I would welcome your feedback, thoughts and all around comments.  I am hoping you enjoy it and feel that buyers, sellers and clients looking to refinance will find value in it as well.  It is a site that is very functional, not too flashy, and I think provides a lot of great information.  As with any website it is a piece of art in the making.  Again, I would welcome any thoughts, suggestions, ect. Thank you!
