Friends, Realtors, countrymen, lend me your ears.

The evil that inexperience and indifference does to our profession must end; the good is oft lost in their wake; so let the winds of change begin with the Real Estate Warrior.

The noble new agent of the future is ambitious: If it so, He will excel to greatness never before achieved, he will be an honorable agent; So much so that all honorable agents to come will speak of his greatness. His clients will say he was my friend, faithful and just to me.

He hath brought many happy buyers and sellers together by becoming a trusted advisor and all did see him as an expert and a good citizen while his adversaries feared is stern negotiating skills.

He sees no challenge too large….he understands the challenges of the future and can navigate the sea of change into real world advantages, he embraces change and cannot be deterred by resistance.

He will stand up after each challenge and challenge back with even more will. He will fight with every ounce of strength he can muster up inside to fight for his client and the American dream of home ownership.

Fear not, it’s not the end of the world for non warrior REALTORS but it may be the end for those who fail to adapt in a new world.

He will not be taken down by failure. He is a Real Estate Warrior.

I am a Real Estate Warrior...... Are you?

 

I want to wish everyone a happy Labor Day! I hope you’ve had the opportunity to spend some time with friends and family, away from the rush of work or the concerns of money, and really enjoy the important things in life.

Whether you're treating yourself to some fun with friends and family, or using your free time to do home projects, I hope you're capitalizing on this national holiday! I'll definitely be doing some cooking today and hopefully getting some long-overdue projects done. Cheers! Have a good one.

Power of Positive Thinking and Attitude..... A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action and that includes the economy. It’s about psychology! Yes, this economy is getting better, and the real estate market is improving, but not as quickly we all would like. But, because confidence is being restored, everything looks better.

I believe in the power of positive thinking... and negative thinking as well. If your life is not what you want it to be, and you are thinking how bad the situation is will make you believe that there is no way out. Your inability to stop thinking and focusing on your current situation makes it look worse than it really is, stifles creativity and initiative, draws negative thinking and self pity, and increases the chances of making reality much worse.

If you understand that money isn't the source of your happiness and that happiness comes from the amount of peace, love and joy you have in your life then you can still smile while you figure out how to find new opportunities for success in a changing real estate market.

The bottom line can be summed up here pretty easily - Smile, tomorrow is a new day full of new opportunities.
 

There are many blogs regarding Sales Teams and my question is for property managers. How do you create a Team for Property Management? What are the pitfalls? How many properties should you have before you create a team?

I took over our porperty management department a year ago with 40 properties and expanding it to almost 100. It is generating sales leads both from tenants and owners who are looking to add additional untis however the time involved in doing both sales and property management is challenging.

Any advice would be appreciated.

OK folks. There is a great devide here on the Rain about car graphics, magnets and wraps for advertising the real estate professional. I have sold two home off a set of $90 car magnets and when I picked up a spare truck to use for putting up signs and general real estate errands...... I broke down and added some graphics. This is not my primary vehicle and I do beleive it will generate some interest.

So..... give me your thoughts. Too much, not enough or aa bad idea??

Wow. I hit 70,000 points today and thought it was like winning an oscar and I needed to write an acceptance speach:

Brad Snyder's Acceptance Speech for the "70,000 Point" Acheivement:

Thank you! Oh! Thank you! I can hardly believe this! I feel so lucky! And this honor- it's so special! Oh, thank you again! I just want everyone to know that I never thought in my wildest hallucinations that I would reach 70,000 points (yeah I know many people are over 100,000 but don't rain on my parade), I never would have imagined that this could ever happen to me. And to the other super-amazing AR folks who have not reached this milestone, I want each of you to know how totally wonderful your fake smiles makes me feel right now!

You know when I first realized I topped this milestone, I just had to take a minute and laugh about how great my experiences have been. I guess it all just makes me feel kinda special. ActiveRain has given me an opprtunity to learn, share and grow as a real estate professional.

You know, there are so many little people to thank! First off though, I want to thank the World Wide Web for giving me an opportunity to reach outside my little town! Also, I want to thank ActiveRain, Google, Yahoo, Facebook and Twitter for contributing to my losing countless hours of sleep - I couldn't have done it without you!

All kidding aside.... ActiveRain has been a great tool and resource.

Thank you America, and good night!
