Is it business or friends??

The business of real estate is about relationships..right. I'm sure a lot of agents out there are just like me..hungry for more business. How does that happen...more relationships. When you work in an office you see people everyday, your competition that is, you meet their family hear about goods and bads business and personal. That is just the way people are. But what do you do when your friend, your competition, your co-worker, looses a major project. Do you turn on your competitive side and go after the carrot hanging in front of you, or do you turn on the friend side and walk. For some of us that is a tough call, for others not so much. I am a FIRM believer of what goes around comes around and treat others as you would want to be treated. BUT I am also a single mom with a hungry son at home.

This is a time for some of us when we have to step back and say what is the smartest thing for me to do right now? Weigh all sides of the equation and listen to all sides of the story...THEN put the best foot forward. After all at the end of the day all I have is me (& my son).

Thanks for reading!

To blog or not to blog? That has been the question for me that I have been toying with for several months now. A very good friend of mine has been pushing me to get a blog going, I always said "when I have the time"...I think I was pushing it off because I didn't really understand what blogging meant and where/when/how to blog. Well one day last week I started my own blog for my business, while discussing this with another realtor I office by they mentioned ActiveRain. I had never heard of this before so I figured I'd check it out.

Where have I been for the last few years!?! I just can't believe it! All this information just a few key strokes away. Just today I pulled it up to see what people were doing or saying and I just can't believe the wealth of information available on this site. Now I'm hooked and find that I'm checking the site everyday to see if there is something out there I can learn from or something similar I'm going through.

Newbie,
