It’s often been said that the only thing holding us back is our own individual fear of success. Fear can catch us in our own trap. Fear can hold back Buyers and Sellers in the Southern Oregon real estate market from making the right decisions. Fear is our own worst enemy. But control over our fears can establish confidence in those around us and in the long run, help to jump-start the real estate recovery.

As a Socially Conscious real estate consultant, I often counsel real estate agents in the Southern Oregon real estate market about their need to overcome fear. They may be afraid of the market, afraid of rejection, afraid of failure, afraid of the future. And of course, these are the very reasons FDR’s words ring so true — “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

Yes, fear can be overcome. And recognizing fear in others is the first step to overcoming fear within yourself. Learn to listen. Learn to recognize fear. Learn to talk with and counsel your family, friends, and clients about their fears. Train yourself to deliver information that calms the fear in others. In the process, you will feel a refreshed calm build within yourself and those around you.

So breathe, listen, and share.
