This is embarrassing!

Today is the 9th of November, my last post was four months ago! This is certainly NOT the way to go. What has happened in these last four months?

1. The property market has gotten even worse internationally.
2. Stock markets the world over are bleeding, I personally must have lost about 20% of my estate - fortunately it is only paper losses at the moment.
3. The Rand has also taken a hammering and lost quite some value - making my next overseas trip so much more expensive!

On a personal level, from the eternal optimist:

1. I've had at least one sale per month since I started with RE/MAX, of which only two have not qualified for finance.
2. I seem to be working even harder but it's starting to get a bit smarter too.
3. I went to Vietnam in September, my first overseas trip in more than ten years! This is only the first of many!

Although I have not been writing in this blog I have thought about it constantly (guilt) and I think writing a travel blog while in Vietnam is forcing me to get to this one. I have been struggling with the format I would like this blog to take, I would like to keep it focused on real estate but I would also like to give you a glimpse into my life, so you can get to know me a little better. So the idea will be to use the titles of my blogs cleverly so you would be able to distinguish business from pleasure.

I hope you enjoy reading the ravings of a realtor who really believes that she has found the best job in the world and that you will write back sometimes.
