Proper use of the Mark, REALTOR.... - 11/20/07 05:55 PM
This post is in the spirit of advancing the cause of professionalism and mutual respect in our industry.
If you have a problem with the way another agent is using the mark, REALTOR, please notify the agent instead of the local board or NAR.
How this concern came about:
I have been reported to my local board and to the National Association of Realtors, for the ways I use the mark, "REALTOR". I will quite naturally be learning more about the rules for this, and making any corrections needed.
Although I am making some changes in my career, I am still a member of a local … (7 comments)

What's Better - Young n Mushy or Old n Crusty ? - 11/20/07 06:25 AM
Giving respect where due, since this post takes off on the thought of another.... Mike Farmer at www.Reliberation.com said - on another thread about "teaching..."
"real teachers who take young, mushy minds and teach them how to use them-- one helluva job, something I wouldn't dare try."
Well we agree about that. It REALLY IS one helluva job. But you know.... somebody's got to do it. It is a noble calling and I respect those who engage it : )
For instance, many broker/owners are great with new agents, and they CLEARLY deserve the 50% splits or desk fees they collect during the mentoring process! Sometimes the product is excellent - as when … (4 comments)

The Question of Credentials for Coaches? - 11/17/07 04:42 PM
The subject of credentials came up on another blog.
Shouldn't those claiming to be coaches offer credentials?
I completely agree that credentials are important. The proof is in the pudding, as they say. Or A man is known by his fruits.
Credentials tend to indicate ability or preparation to be frutiful. These credentials can come by many forms, including experience, or formal certification.
Since several here seem to be questioning my credentials, making two direct challenges, I am happy to address both.
FIRST CHALLENGE: Shouldn't you have first been a HUGE PRODUCER REALTOR in order to be a coach?
ANSWER: Well, yes and no. Yes you should be very … (2 comments)

Fried Green Tomatos - 11/10/07 07:57 AM
Gotcha! You just have to real a post with a title like Fried Green Tomatos!
Was thinking about a way to illustrate how to make something good out of something that was not ripe.
Buyers and sellers sometimes come to us before they are ready. When a prospect is not ripe, you can treat them like a green tomato. If you need a tomato for dinner tonight, you go to the vegetable market and choose from lots of tomatos, the one that is just right. But if you like lots of tomatos you go out in your back yard and do the work to grow tomatos yourself.
You till the ground, loosen the soil, fertilize, plant seeds, … (16 comments)
