Fellow members, 

Happy June!  I can't believe we are almost halfway through the year already.  And, what
a year it has been so far.  With the continuation of limited homes on the market, many
buyers are frustrated.  This can lead to us, as REALTORS®, being frustrated.  

Two things can help to keep calm minds during this type of market.  First and foremost, stop and breathe.  We all need to take care of ourselves and take the time we need when  we need it.  Although our clients sometimes forget, we do not need to work 24 hours a day.  

Secondly, remember our REALTOR® Code of Ethics.  The term REALTOR® connotes competency, fairness, and high integrity resulting from adherence to a lofty ideal of moral conduct in business relations.  No inducement of profit and no instruction from clients can ever justify departure from this ideal.
 
Remember those two things and have a wonderful June!  

Hope to see you July 10th at the golf outing!
