Six Weeks Walking in the Rain! Do You See the Pattern? Thanks ActiveRain! - 10/31/10 01:14 PM
Six Weeks Walking in the Rain!  Thanks ActiveRain!  Thanks Rainmakers!  Thanks Staff Members!
WOW!  Six weeks ago I did not know about all the opportunities available through ActiveRain!  I had heard it was one of "those agent things...where they all talked to each other...but why, I did not have a clue!"
Our Regional Advisory Group at DFW MetroTex decided to have a seminar on Social Media.  My great take away that day was...CHECK OUT ACTIVE RAIN!
I looked around a bit, did not see anything that excited me enough to get involved.  A few days later while driving home in a blinding Texas … (33 comments)

Happy Halloween from Rockwall & Heath, Texas on Lake Ray Hubbard!
It is a gorgeous day...bright and sunny with a definite chill in the air!  Lake Ray Hubbard is sparkling like millions of diamonds and there are a few boats out.  
The Saturday morning crowd seems different this week.  The cool crisp temp could definitely be a major reason, as this is our first really cool sweater weather day.  Then there are the parties, the pumpkin patch, parades, and more parties.
Oh yes, The Rangers are back in town!  Go Rangers!

Don’t Make Vacation Plans When Buying a Home! - 10/26/10 07:04 PM
Good point!  I have had both a buyer and a seller plan a vacation during the closing process.  What a pain, to jump through all the hoops to get to closing only to learn, "Sorry, we are going away for a little vacation".
Good points to mention when the process starts just as we tell a buyer to not buy a new car or something before they are closed.

I encourage the agents in our office when they start complaining to, "Be Thankful for the Small Things in Their Business, the Larger Things Will Follow."
There are plenty of things in my business, even in the slowest of times, that I am thankful for and that keeps my passion for the business going.

Gaining Back My Trust - 10/22/10 05:17 PM
This is great!  People do have to earn their trust with me.  I try to be open and receptive to everyone; HOWEVER, the earning of trust starts immediately and builds to the point that they do have my trust.
Until trust is earned, it can not be lost.  I think that gaining back trust, once lost, would be more difficult than earning it in the first place.
