By Stacey L. Bradford,
Associate Editor, SmartMoney.com

RIGHT NOW, IT’S anyone’s guess when the housing downturn will finally hit bottom. But if you’re looking to buy a home now - and plan to stay in it for a while - there are plenty of bargains to be had on a foreclosed property.

I wanted to thank you for the class on foreclosures you gave on Thursday afternoon. I was a little nervous about attending for 2 reasons, 1. I thought I would be lost and 2.

Have a great weekend.

I have enjoyed several classes and seminars from Compass given by Andy Tolbert. The knowledge that I have gotten is enormous.

Do you have your DREAM business?

I had the wonderful pleasure of hearing Wendy Kurtz speak at a meeting I was at this week. Wendy consults with some of the top speakers and authors in the country on building their brand and selling more books. Since I’ve been tossing around the idea of writing a book, I figured I’d hear what she had to say… and boy am I glad I did! (find out more at www.WendyKurtz.com)

One of the things she shared right at the end was her “DREAM Principle” which is an easy to follow 5-step process for business success… and even though she was talking about authors, my mind kept applying them to my real estate business, so I figured I’d share them with you today.
