How crazy do we ALL get when it comes to buying and selling real estate?
Imagine if we shopped for everything the way we shopped for real estate:
CAR BUYING: “I’m waiting to find a seller who really needs the money,
and wants to sell me his car at 30-40% under value. Until then, I'm
walking!”
CAR SELLING: “Even though my car Blue Books at $5200, I’m going to
sell at $6200…because I love my car is so much”
JOBS: “I’m not really in the market for a new job, but if something
comes along, I’d be ready to quit, call me if you find something...”
SHOES: “I’ve been looking for about a year now. I really want to get
the perfect pair. I’ve probably tried on 200.”
GAS: “I’m going to wait for the market to go down before filling
up.”
If any of this sounds familiar, call us and get on with it!

Vancouver Weekly Real Estate Update
From “Creative Real Estate Magazine”:
“Many of the people who are complaining right now were also complaining last year about exactly the opposite conditions." Isn’t it time to stop complaining and get to work yet?
One of my favorites real estate related quotes is “Fortunes in real estate have been made in good times, bad times, and in-between times.” I’d like to add my own ending to that statement: But NO fortunes were made by people who spend all their time complaining. :) Remember: Deals exist in every market, it's just a matter of doing it...

Has anyone told you 'The Secret'?
If you haven’t heard “The Secret” yet, you will (it's on “Oprah” this Thursday). 'The Secret' is a documentary about the Law of Attraction, i.e., what the mind of (wo)man can conceive, (wo)man can achieve. Essentially, it’s about getting EXTREMELY clear about what you want and not being afraid to put it out there.
Most people DON’T use The Secret. Here’s a typical meeting with a new buyer:
“So you’re looking to buy a house! How soon?”
“Not sure…six months from now. I’m in no rush” [it’s always six…never 4, never 8]
“And what are you looking for?”
“We’re open….we just want a good deal.”
“Okay, what area?”
“We could really go anywhere if it’s a good deal.”
“What did your lender say you could afford?”
“He said to find a house then call him”
Now I don’t mind helping buyers with all that. It’s part of my job. But how likely is this person to find their dream home? What have they conceived? Not much.
Here’s the twist - successful people already use 'The Secret', they just don’t know it:
“So you’re looking to buy a house! How soon?”
“As soon as possible. We are selling our current home to trade up, and want to put it on the market right away as we look for a new house. We sat down with our mortgage broker, and decided we want a 10-yr interest only, and figured we can spend $3200 a month on our mortgage. So $950,000 is the very top. Three bedrooms or more, at least 2 baths. We’ve been driving areas for a few days and want to focus on Kits first, Dunbar second and East Vancouver third. When can we start looking?”
The real magic occurs when you start going for it. What your mind can conceive, you can achieve. Go to [http://www.thesecret.tv/] www.thesecret.tv and order the DVD, and then call us.
Guatemalan Medical Mission: Harris Group raising some MONEY!
On February 17th we'll be hosting a fund raiser for a medical mission to Guatemala!

There will be some live music, good wine, great art, vacations to win and plenty of great people, so be sure to come and support this very worthwhile cause.
