When do the Big Boys Buy?

Quick, tell me what business sector/industry this philosophy belongs to…

“There are near-term challenges, but where there are challenges, there are always opportunities, we view this as a one-time opportunity.”  

Ken Lewis of Bank of America was quoted saying this about the buyout of Countrywide Financial for $4,000,000,000 (that’s $4 Billion…what a deal!) announced on Friday 1/11/08.

Bank of America and Countrywide executives were all smiles in announcing the deal.

Let’s take a hint from the Big Boys, there are deals out there (in the Seattle real estate marketplace) to be had.  There are Opportunities where there are challenges!

Come on buyers!   Remember, real estate is a “cyclical market”.  It wasn’t so long ago that every decent house had multiple offers and the sale price had to be over asking price.

Real estate has two markets; A Seller’s market and A Buyer’s market.  Which market would you prefer to buy in?  Which market are the Big Boys buying in?

Wherever there are challenges, there are opportunities. 

If you are open to partaking in the opportunities, give us a call.  There are quite a few of them out there!

Rubbing Shoulders with Presidential nominees

 

Recently I was in Santa Fe visiting a good friend when we ran into John Kerry at a local restaurant.  He was gracious enough to pose with us for a photo opp.  We couldn’t help but notice he was being chauffeured in a Toyota Prius; how Kool is that?

Today, I saw the photo of Kerry & Obama and thought this was a great time to share my photo too…

John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, gave Barack Obama a timely endorsement Thursday 01/10/08 in South Carolina.

What a pivotal, historical time for Americans and the United States…Please Vote. Thank you.
