During the first nine months of 2009 I dealt with no shortage of potential real estate buyers. Even with prices near the pre-boom level they either made offers and refused counter-offers or they woke up the morning after making an offer and heard the media say the worst is yet to come and they wanted to cancel their offers. I was happy that I was able to obtain releases from Sellers that allowed my Buyers to walkaway.
This year's Labor Day weekend was a turning point in real estate like I had never seen before. Even the buying frenzy of 2005 - 2007 did not compare to the number of Buyers who are serious about making a purchase. It has been great just taking my clients to view properties and watch them have the "wow" moment when they find the perfect place and are happy the next morning after we go under contract.
I had been at a point of burnout but the past few weeks have rejuvenated why I became a Realtor and I have met some really great people.

Well, I'm glad your buyers are serious, because we've talked to too many here who aren't. Not being negative- just realistic.
Oh believe me, prior to Labor Day I was going through the same thing you are, so just hang in there.
