You can't to your mom: So talk back to me! - 11/21/08 10:53 AM

Success in a Beaten Down Market - 11/21/08 10:14 AM

This week I graduated a group of Realtors from The Floyd Wickman Program at Prudential Arizona Properties in Phoenix.  In a very rough market they did a fantastic job!  Broker/Owners who could use a bottom line boost and Realtors who are thinking of getting a "real job" listen to this:

Did you hear that lately?  I could tell which of my students had been out on listing appointments the last few months.  They were the ones who came up to me and asked how to handle it when the seller threw that line at them.  In fact if you've been doing any business at all - you've heard it, and if you haven't and I was your manager, I'd smack you on the back of the head and tell you to get out on more appointments!
So now the election is over and … (1 comments)
