A medal is not the measure of success or failure at the Olympics.

 

Everyone loves a winner. We cheer, we clap and the media fawns over the winner while those who failed to reach equal heights watch from the shadows or burrow their heads in their hands to hide tears of disappointment. Some come close, others miss the mark by a wider margin.

 

Like millions of others around the world I’ve been keeping late hours while uncharacteristically glued to my Sony flat screen. The drama unfolds in a variety of arenas from pool to balance beams and I don’t want to miss a moment. In a few short minutes the lifelong dream of the young, world-class athletes is played out on the world stage. Stumble and you may miss your moment. Finish first and bask in glory for one short moment in time.

 

나, too, have rejoiced with the winners, but I wonder how those who face the disappointment of a devastating loss will cope and move forward. Certainly they are not failures; they are the elite of their chosen fields, but with so much hope and glory pinned on one event it takes a true winner to release one goal and replace it with another. This is the challenge of the great athletes who represented their country but return home without worldwide name and face recognition.

 

John Orozco’s battle with the pommel horse comes to mind. His Olympic dreams were shattered by the unforgiving apparatus. After a short cry he resolved to do better in the remaining events even thought he knew there would be no medal or place on the coveted podium. He continued the competition and his efforts were rewarded. He moved up 16 slots from dead last to eighth in the all-around event. Loser? I don’t think so. He is still a teenager with time and talent on his side.

 

That’s what winners in all walks of life do. After a setback they regroup, refocus and return to compete again. Sounds like real estate to me.

집이 뒤로 말하기된다?

당신은 그것이 내기! Buyers make an intellectual and financial decision to look at properties based on location, 가격과 광장 영상. They want their new home to be where they want to live, the price they can afford to pay and a size that fits their needs. 그건 기본이고 모든 검색 시작 위치.

 

이러한 요구 사항은 만족으로, the search for a new home moves into the more subtle nuances of home buying. The psychological factors come into play. Past history and experiences of the buyer bring forth new requirements and the elimination process is underway. It often goes something like this:

아 우리는 이곳에서 살 수 없을 것이, my husband is allergic to cats and their dander stays in the heating and cooling systems for months. 죄송합니다, 당신이 고양이가있다면 당신의 집에는 단지 가능한 사기의 목록을 긁어 줄–집을 구입하지 못한 의료 이유는 극복하기 거의 불가능.

That backyard looks like a park. It reminds me of where I grew up. Emotional comment is noted by agent. The buyer has made a connection.

이것은 조난 판매입니다? That is the unkempt yard and blistered paint speaking to the buyer.

그들은 우리가 올 줄은 몰랐? That is the garbage cans still at the curb at 3:00 p.m. the unmade beds and disheveled family room revealing the sellers lack of motivation. Don’t lose a prospective buyer at the curb or make them feel like an unwelcome guest. Invite them in with impeccable curbside appeal, and win them over with an interior that beckons them to linger and imagine life within the walls of this particular property. Life is full of choices and chances are this is not the only home they will view before they purchase.

 

구매자는 가정의 의견을 형성하고 있는지 궁금해하고 있습니다 that will become their home before they enter your front door. 당신은 집에 있지 않아도, you house is talking to the buyers. Make sure it is telling them what you want them to hear.

해안 생활의 간단한 사치

The bright lights of the big city are within easy reach of the coastal cities of Los Angeles. It is nice to know one can indulge in world-class dining, 박물관, 교향곡과 같은 때 욕망의 파업, but it’s the little daily pleasures that accumulate into the huge benefit of living the coastal lifestyle in Southern California. From early morning to lights out at night we are gifted with coastal influences.

날씨를 타고–the ocean influence keeps us from suffering the extreme heat of summer and the frigid winter temperatures endured by our inland friends. If you want to experience some extreme weather snow-covered slopes or a day in the desert are only two hours away. Your choice.

We are blessed with ocean breezes that cool not only our houses but also the sweat on our brows after a long workday. One of my favorite ways to lose that frazzled feeling is to settle in on an ocean view patio with eyes open wide, a few deep breaths of salt water air and let the beauty sink in as the stress goes wherever it goes. I’ve lived in the Midwest, 동쪽 해안과 남쪽 아무것 캘리포니아 남부의 해안 날씨를 뛰는.

예, 우리는 지진과 핸들이 좀 너무 꽉 300 명 그들의 창과 및 고속도로 혼란에서 그들을 멀리 운반하기 위해 도로를 검색에 가장 안정적인 사람을 줄일 수가 트래픽을, 하지만, 심지어 자연 재해의 위협은 지구의 깊은 구석에서 지금까지 우리 발 아래에 숨어있는, 그리고 고속도로의 복잡하게 얽힌 우리 차를 유혹할 위해 대기에 누워있는 풍경을 crisscrossing, the coastal location offers us postcard views, heavenly weather and enviable recreation every day of the year. It may not be perfect, 하지만 내 책에서 그것이 도착만큼 좋다.

해돋이, sunset. Make mine a coastal one, 주세요.

구매자의 짧은 명단에 홈을 넣어하는 방법–판매자 팁

이 게시물은 먼저 출판 재활용 2008 after checking available homes for buyers flying into LA this week. Nine, 예 겨우 아홉, homes meet their specific criteria. I’m sure we will have a home in escrow before they leave town. Maybe it will be your home if it’s fortunate enough to make their short list. These particular prospective buyers have low tolerance for overpriced, cluttered and neglected properties. My best advice is to perfect and polish your property before you present it to prospective buyers. 부동산을 구입할 수있는 초대장을 보여주는 모든 만들기.

다음 주에 난 누가없이 한 수준 집에 계단 노 거실 아래 단계를 원하고 Palos Verdes 역할을 보여주는 것입, 또는 차고로 또는 아래로 단계. 제가 찾아 미리 몇 일 수준 “무료로 단계” 집.

8이나 9 가옥 후 다 똑 같단 시작. 저도 같은 노트를 만들고 발견 “화강암 주방, 스테인레스 가전” 많은에, 과 “원래 상태” 여러 다른 사람에. 저는 제 의뢰인이 모양과 유사한 응답이 비슷 한 수준 것이다 영감을받지 않은 뼈도 이상의 사무실로 반환.

셀러, 어떤 집을 만드는 것은 군중에서 밖으로 서? 그런가요:

연석에서 매혹적인?

무대?

가격 오른쪽?

깨끗?

표시 용이?

상태로 이동?

구매자는 많은 집을 보면; 그들은 하나를 구입. 가장 유리한 시각으로 재산을 제시. 필링과 어두운 물감은 향후 비용으로 볼 수 있습니다. Ditto for the worn and stained carpet I saw in several of the homes I previewed. Buyers have lots of choices, 너무 큰 첫인상을 만드는. More than likely you will not get a second chance. 거의 두 번 같은 노크도 기회가 유명.
