Jane and I were in the mountains recently and we drove by a building supply office and it said “recession hours – 7:30 – noon”.  We thought that was unusual. 

I think the lumber company was saying that they did not have enough business to stay open all day. 

The lumber business is a lot different than the real estate business; our recession hours are longer.  I am working more than I have in my 28 years of selling real estate on Hilton Head Island.  These are my “recession hours”.  We are working harder to try and make deals. 

I am sure that there are some Realtors who have “recession hours” where they are working less because they have the attitude – why work – nothing is selling.  You can be assured that this is not what is happening in our office.
