The "Frozen Person"

Perhaps you have never heard the expression before. Most likely that is because you have not been blessed to be in one of my classes or hear me speak before. You know 'frozen people’, you may have been a ‘frozen person’ before. I WAS a ‘FROZEN PERSON’ for almost a year back in 1991, just before they dragged the car away (repossessed) and then foreclosed on my home. I understand the concept.

I created the expression ‘frozen person’ to describe a consumer so traumatized by the pieces of their lives falling in around them that they become ‘frozen’. Unable to function. Frozen people can not: open envelopes, cook regular meals, answer the telephone. Sometimes they cannot answer the door, or they forget to take a bath. Brushing your teeth is not that important if you are a frozen person. Frozen people are still very REAL people, they are just people who life has handed a really raw deal and they are waiting—frozen, trying to figure out what to do with the deal.

Frozen people need a lot—love, patience, information and mostly time—time to thaw out and figure out how to deal with the DEAL.

This blog can help you (or someone you know) to deal. Visit regularly for real estate insight—in a usable format.
