For me, these are some of the hardest. Ask a real estate representative how the market is and you're likely to hear "Excellent!" Ask a real estate representative how organization is going and once again you'll likely hear "Fantastic!" Unless the representative you are talking with has currently made the decision to leave the organization, you will not hear anything negative.Success breeds success and nobody wishes to work with somebody who is not, or at least does not appear to be effective. The reality is there is nothing naturally great or bad about the market. The "How's the marketplace" question is so subjective there is no genuine response. The ups and downs in our organization however, are very genuine.
