naggar: RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO PAY BACK DONT DO IT
- 03/12/12 06:11 AM
It takes more of a person to discipline and maintain composure in a unpleasant situation than to just lose it and make things worse. The pull to retaliate and pay back is fueled by the nature of the human beast and while it can perform, it will not deliver the best results plus in will be in conflict with your conscience too
MANY DIFFERENT DYNAMICS AT WORK
Lets be clear. There are times when you have to protect your self or others and you will know and recognize those times. I am not talking about that. There will also be times where the … (0 comments)

naggar: REAL ESTATE RESULT PILLS GET THINGS DONE TAKE TWO AND TRANSACT
- 03/12/12 02:34 AM
Years ago, I came across in a joke shop a bottle of white pill candy with a label on it that said STRESS PILLS. Then, it gave directions to take as needed but don't exceed xxx amount of pills in one swallow. I bought this bottle and put it in our conference room. Anytime anyone was stressing, we passed the bottle down. Hilarious
IT WORKS EVERY TIME
It stopped everyone from arguing right there and then. It made us all laugh and re-focus. If someone still fought the idea, one of us would even pour a little glass of water and … (2 comments)

naggar: LET IT BE DONE TO YOU AS YOU BELEIVE HOLDS UP
- 03/11/12 07:05 AM
What a powerful and deep statement to make and share with someone. I read this one day and thought how revealing it is in so many ways. It points to the accountability within the person with the belief. Your actions, which are fueled by your beliefs will or will not provide results. You get to decide what those beliefs are
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
You see you cannot blame anyone as you navigate through life and accuse them of too much or too little. It is in your power to create, modify or do away with your belief. It is under your control and works according … (2 comments)

naggar: SOLD OR RENTED IN 2 DAYS ACTION PLAN COMPLETE MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
- 03/11/12 12:44 AM
I read two posts recently here in the rain. I enjoyed them both. The first one had to do with a home selling very quickly and how it created controversy specifically doubt as to whether full value was attained. Then, I read another post having to do with getting results and whats the problem as its point. Here's my 2 centavos
CONGRATULATIONS...NEXT PROJECT PLEASE
When I list and sell a home, it is labor intensive up front as I start my home work process, gather data, set-up all the necessaries and then launch. I expect my work to produce the intended result. When … (2 comments)

naggar: REAL ESTATE LIABILITY COMES OUT OF NO WHERE SOMETIMES
- 03/10/12 05:47 AM
I manage property and I am in the process of renovating a rental that was occupied for about 8 years. Now, with several thousand dollars of repairs, I can raise the rents and enjoy another 8 year run of income. But wait, a problem came up that bares sharing
CARPETS ARE SOAKED
We pull the carpets and part of them are soaked. We start an investigation that leads us to the corner of the room, then to the outside and finally to the cause and culprit of the whole thing. A sprinkler head that shoots water in all directions was placed … (2 comments)

naggar: I ONLY WORK FOR FREE WHEN I VOLUNTEER
- 03/09/12 12:08 AM
I like value. I like to give it and to receive it. It makes the world go round and a better place. When we exchange goods, services, products and the like, some sort of fulfillment on everyone's part has to take place or why are we doing anything? There is more taking place then just an exchange of goods too.
YOU PUT IN THE MONEY AND THE PRODUCT COMES OUT...?
People are not vending machines. They are not able to leave themselves out of what they are doing. Everything we do is a part of us interacting with a part of someone else. There … (10 comments)

naggar: ONE DEAL FROM ACTIVERAIN BLOGGING MAKES IT ALL MAKE SENSE
- 03/08/12 06:56 AM
I came to ActiveRain for knowledge and education. The knowledge I was looking for was practical applications and solutions in the Real Estate industry. I was thrilled to read and dialog in regards to what others were experiencing with their escrows, banks, clients and fellow agents. I thought this is a valuable tool this ActiveRain
WAIT...YOU CAN MAKE MONEY TOO?
Then, one day I read about people getting referrals and having an increase in their business flow and I became intrigued. I have learned to be open about anything introduced until I have a reason not to be. I thought how … (7 comments)

naggar: IF YOU SEE SOMETHING NEEDING TO GET DONE ITS NO ACCIDENT
- 03/07/12 05:19 AM
I have had many people come to me with detailed explanations on different things they would like to see get done or come into play. As I listen to what they are sharing, I find that a lot of what they are experiencing is for them. In other words, those changes you would like to see may be calling to you to get done
THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS CALLING YOU
I have tested this too. After hearing someone out, I have often asked them if they would like to participate or take on their vision or their idea. Many are … (0 comments)

naggar: DO YOU LIKE TO SPEND MONEY
- 03/07/12 01:22 AM
I have reached the point in my life where I have everything I need. There are things that I would want, but do not need. I remember the pleasure of exploring need versus want throughout my life. Once you have sampled all the earthly delights to your satisfaction, then rest from it all is where you will end up
SPENT MONEY TO STAY COMPETITIVE
I found myself updating all my electronic communications and tools recently. this made perfect sense because in order to do business, you must be in business. In today's competitive no prisoners world of getting things done, having … (4 comments)

naggar: WHY ALL THE FUSS ABOUT TAKING PICTURES FOR YOUR LISTINGS
- 03/06/12 11:35 PM
There should be no reluctance in taking lots of photos of listings for sale. My thought is that now that every cell phone has a camera and some have some really nice cameras, why wouldn't you take lots of descriptive shots and use them?
SEPARATE CAMERA DAYS
I use to have to take an expensive digital camera with me wherever I went to shoot the subject matter. Then, come back, edit, crop, download and select the winning frames and publish them. Now, I use a smart phone with extra-ordinary picture taking capabilities and it couldn't be easier to do
WIRE-LESS DOWNLOADING AND STORAGE
Furthermore, my stuff … (5 comments)

naggar: TIMELY REMINDER TO ANSWER THE CALL OF BUSINESS VIA PHONE EMAIL TEXT
- 03/06/12 06:31 AM
You would think that the communication is running optimum now a days with all the technology available. But the problem is not with the technology, but perhaps the people who use it. Imagine a Real Estate world where clients, fellow agents, escrow and tittle officers, handymen, buyers and sellers can get a hold of you
PROFESSIONALS KNOW THIS
The technology makes it possible for instant contact but there is nothing available that will force or coerce people use it. That has to come from the person. I have noticed that professionals make this part of their default nature. They then cannot help but … (2 comments)

naggar: CAN YOUR BUYER PERFORM IS NOT A PERSONAL QUESTION
- 03/06/12 12:03 AM
It is still not settled even in today's climate of buying and selling this title post question of mine. I still get inquires from buyer agents and principals who just haven't tamed or answered this vital question. The right answer makes you a player and the lack of one a dreamer and a waster of time
ARE YOU QUALIFIED
I ran into an agent or two the other day that when I asked if their buyer was qualified, they hesitated and stuttered. Without answering they answered. The whole conversation went another way after that. I have had principals and even investors come my … (10 comments)

naggar: CREDIBLITY IS THE CROWN JEWEL OF BELIEVABILITY
- 03/05/12 05:43 AM
Have you ever seen or heard something and your first response was "that's incredible"? In other words, you are saying it lacks credibility. Let's apply that dynamic to a human being. Credibility brings value to the user and incredibility brings people to doubt you and you then lose value
CREDIBILITY is the CROWN JEWEL OF BELIEVABILITY
It is made up of honesty, integrity sprinkled with genuiness and pure motives. Once attained and put to use, it goes to work in your personal and professional world. In other words, it becomes a part of you and your personal stock as a human being goes through … (5 comments)

naggar: REMEMBER THE ITS NOT WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE STATEMENT?
- 03/05/12 03:38 AM
I first came across this when I used to watch my children play at sports. I noticed that every parent present wanted their kid to win. Some thought winning was the only thing to learn and encourage their kids to do whatever it took to win. Some of that "win at all costs conduct" turned me off and the adults supporting it turned into animals. I had to offset that behavior
LISTEN UP
I then realized what practice was all about. I told my kids that I didn't care whether they won or lost, but I wanted to see some moves … (0 comments)

naggar: JUST WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET FEATURED
- 03/04/12 02:19 AM
An ActiveRain feature is like finding money in your pants pocket or in a drawer that you forgot about. Not just two cents, but big enough to cause surprise and happiness. A feature can also be like you just won something and it doesn't matter what it was, but that you won. A feature can also be a surprise similar to a birthday party
FEATURE ORIGINS
Features get their strength from posts...posts come from people who participate in the Rain. People from different parts of the country belt out a Real Estate experience or story and it becomes news worthy.

naggar: REAL ESTATE IS A SERIOUS TRANSACTION THAT REQUIRES RESPECT
- 03/03/12 10:16 PM
It is a transaction that can change people lives. For some, it is a once in a lifetime experience too. For others, it remains part of their business plan to acquire assets and build wealth. At all times it is to be respected and treated accordingly. It is faithful and does what it is supposed to do
IT REMAINS INNOCENT...WE MAKE IT GUILTY
Of course others come around and corrupt it. Not just people, but corporations, rogue investors, professionals and of course the ignorant and the end result is that the concept of Real Estate holds while the games and the damages come and go. We … (8 comments)

naggar: THE EARLY BIRD EATS WELL WHAT KIND OF BIRD ARE YOU
- 03/02/12 10:29 PM
First bird on the scene sites the worms and is quick to size up the juiciest and plumpest before it swoops down for the feast. After a few of these, it is time to proceed with the rest of the agenda whatever that is. Then, the other birds start to come out and the worms have been warned now...

How about the diligent bird? Doesn't that bird eat well too? Carefully going about its business in a responsible way turns up some decent snacks being methodical and calculating. It is task driven, careful, and efficient

naggar: BEING IN BUSINESS AND MANAGING YOUR TIME
- 03/02/12 05:46 AM
Everything will go where its going to go similar to how water seeks its own levels. However, the word and term manager or one that manages is necessary component to make sure the start-up or roll-out is a success. Things answer to the manager and the manager answers to the things. It should act just like an engine when you turn the key
THE FLOW & GO
As to time management, I am a big fan of flowing and going. The challenge comes when we take what has appeared before us and make it do what we want it to do and … (10 comments)

- 03/02/12 12:27 AM
It will get you started and may even prime the SUCCESS pump. But for the long haul, one must discover their own treasure chest within themselves. That is your guaranteed ticket to everything you do. After that, learning how to use and spend those inner gifts leads to describing and defining your life journey. YOU then discover YOU.

naggar: BANKS IN THE SAME BUSINESS BUT NOT ON THE SAME PAGE
- 03/01/12 06:47 AM
The golden rule at work is something to behold. There are two types for you to know about. The first one we encounter all through history and currently can be seen with certain corporations and all the banks now a days. Their rule says; We have the gold and we make the rules. You don't like it...well too bad
THE TRUE GOLDEN RULE
The second golden rule is the one we all want and most of us practice almost to the letter. The Realtor golden rule which is to practice a just, fair and honest action toward everyone and expect to receive the … (2 comments)
