Can My Painting Business Stll Survive in a Slow Housing Market?

I just received a letter from one of my prospective painting book customers today.

He writes:

Hello Lee,

I have been reading your emails for a while now. I have a painting business in NJ for 18yrs. but still can use an angle to get more business.

QUESTION: Can your info still work now in 2007 with this slow housing market? I may buy your book.

Joe Cacciato from New Jersy

My reply was,

Hi Joe,

Most of the people I paint for aren't selling their home. But the homeowners that are selling their home and want painting done to make it more presentable creates even more of a market for us house painters.

Sometimes the home is empty and there is no one there to bother you and you can relax and work comfortably and come and go as you want.

Thanks for writing,
-Lee

Because it's a buyers market the homeowner is willing to do whatever it takes to sell their home. Even before the slow housing market people who wanted to sell would call a painter. There is still plenty of opportunity out there for those who want to start a painting business. More now than ever!
