real estate: The Parable of the "Hot Dog" - 11/05/08 12:30 PM
At a recent meeting I heard a great story. It was called "The Parable of the Hotdog". I was so taken with this story that I used it in my monthly newsletter to my farm area. It has great value to each of us. So, I would like to share it with you as well. I wish I could take credit for the story, but it actually is an anonymous origin. But, here it is.....
The Parable of the Hot Dog
There was man who lived by the side of the road and he sold Hot Dogs. He was hard of … (2 comments)

real estate: What I learned from "the Secret" - 06/11/08 09:00 AM
Have you ever had a life altering experience? Something that totally changes the way you live your life. Last December I bought the book, "The Secret". I read it in about 2 hours. I then went out and bought the video and since then I have purchased the audio tapes of the book. I have the audio going in my car just about all the time. I play the video while I am exercising in the morning. This stuff is fabulous.
Things I learned......thoughts become things, I am a money magnet, everything that comes into our lives-we have attracted it, like attracts … (5 comments)

real estate: Give back to the community! - 06/04/08 01:49 PM
My office recently merged with Coldwell Banker Residential. I am excited about the change and have been impressed with the new office and staff. After having worked with a company for nearly 19 years, it was a bit scarey to make the change. However, it has been awesome. I have been impressed with many things but mostly I have been impressed by the amount of community involvement. Each week at Sales Meeting we get more information about this program or that. So many of the agents are giving back to their communities and special causes.
This is really important to me because I … (0 comments)

real estate: Quotes - 01/24/08 09:20 AM
I love to collect quotes. I recently attended our yearly planning workshop at our office. It was the best ever. I would like to share two quotes that were part of the workshop.
1. No one can do everything but everyone can do something. I like this quote because it tells me that I don't have to do everything in one day, week, month or year. All I have to do is something everyday. I am going to apply that to my business as well as my personal life. One thing the world is missing right now (in my humble opinion) is … (8 comments)

real estate: Birthday's - 01/15/08 10:36 PM
Well, it's my birthday. This year, as in year's past, my husband wanted to know what I wanted to do for my big day. I thought about it a lot. 2007 went so quick, it's a blur. So far, 2008 seems to be tha same. So, I opted for quiet day at home. I did what I had to do in Real Estate and then came home, got a good book and finished it tonight. Sometimes, it's nice to just relax and enjoy the comforts of your home.
As I reflect back on my many years (52) I have much to … (6 comments)

real estate: Fundraiser - 12/26/07 07:21 PM
I had a wonderful opportunity presented to me this year. A good friend of mine came to me and asked if I wanted to participate in a fundraiser. He volunteers with a youth group and they wanted to do something to help out the local homeless shelter. They have worked all year long to raise money. I sponsored two events for them. One was a 5k walk and then a choral group that I sing in put on a benefit Christmas concert. We had people who matched the money that we raised and then that money was matched as well.
I have to … (0 comments)

real estate: Midwest People are special! - 11/19/07 06:35 PM
I grew up in southern Missouri. I moved to Utah in 1989 for a second time and have been here in Utah since then. I recently returned from a trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas. What a beautiful state. The geography is very much like Missouri and I felt right at home. The main reason I felt at home was the people. I taught a class there and the students that were in the class were very welcoming. So, Kudos, to Arkansas.
Our lives are so busy and hectic, that we often don't take time to visit with people we meet, or … (0 comments)

real estate: The Holidays!!!! - 11/15/07 08:38 AM
My daughter in law posted a comment on their family blog that said something like this-----NOOOOOOOOOO! I had to laugh. Her comment was in response to walking into a store the first part of November and hearing Christmas music. She said she wasn't ready for it. It was to early.
For me, it is never to early. I sing in a choral group and we begin practices in September. So for me the Christmas Holiday begins the first part of September. I love the holidays. It means family, fun, joy, good food, good conversations, pleasant memories, giving gifts to my family … (5 comments)

real estate: Time vs Price - 08/02/07 02:42 PM
I have been selling real estate in Salt Lake City since 1990. One thing that I have learned over the years is a good agent will know the seller or buyer's motivation. The way I find that motivation is, I ask questions. There are four valuable questions. Why ..., Where ...., When .... and What if...., these questions will give you the answer to motivation. As a seller you need to be ready to answer those questions. Basically you need to decide what's more important, time or money. The real estate market across the nation has slowed. Pricing your home correctly is … (2 comments)

real estate: Home Sweet Home - 07/23/07 05:07 PM
I recently spent a week in Naples Florida. I teach a class to companies who have purchased ERA franchises. I had a wonderful time and met some really great Realtors. It is so interesting to me to go to the different parts of the country, meet Realtors and see how they run their businesses. As we discussed their market in Florida, I discovered they are having a really slow market. Prices and have fallen and listings are easy to come by. The challenge in their area is getting buyers to buy the houses.
Salt Lake City's market has slowed a bit as … (0 comments)

real estate: Winning Attitude - 06/25/07 08:57 AM
My broker asked me the other day to take a few minutes in our Sales Meeting to talk about "Winning Attitude". It is time for our mid-year workshop. We check where we are, where we want to go, and what we need to do to get there.
So, my assignment is to talk about how important attitude is in Real Estate. As I prepared my remarks I was amazed at how important attitude is in life.
In your marriage if you have a negative, selfish or annoying attitude, you are not going to be very happy. I venture to say, your spouse won't be … (0 comments)
