Are You a Tadpole In a Pond Full of Bull Frogs?

It is tough getting a real estate career going . Sometimes newer agents really do feel like a tadpole in a pond full of bull frogs.

At Classic Realty Associates, we realize this all too well and it is the reason we offer a little extra boost to all our new agents. Weekly sales meetings are informative but our Monday Agent Enhancement training sessions help not only new agents , but give experienced ones a little adrenalin boost now and then too. And once a month we offer a risk reduction meeting that typically addresses issues that could come back and bite any of us in the rear. This week's topic was flood plain issues and the speaker was from the City of College Station. He knew his business well and showed the new guys how the city systems functions and then explained a lot of terminology. We know there is so much to learn in real estate that just can't all be discussed in outside training due to lack of time. We make it a point of difference to try and fill that gap on a daily basics.

So .... all you tadpoles out there.....don't worry . One day you will be a bull frog in the pond too. You'll be hoppin' with the best of them! If you areconsidering a real estate career or an office change we know the place where tadpoles and bull frogs alike will get all the support and training they want.

Speaking of tadpoles we are always playing with animals at our home. My wife decided last week to catch a few tadpoles. So we are having fun watching them develop. The are about an inch and a quarter long . In a few days their legs should begin to grow. Then it's back to the pond in the back 40 and in with all the big frogs!

Ribbet!

Trey - cute, cute post. . .By the way, do you know how to tell the size of frogs when you can't see them? My grand-daughter says the little frogs go "Ree-deep." The middle sized frogs say, "Rivet." But the big bull frogs go "Romp-romp". . .:-)

Another tidbit of wisdom from my 6 year old grand-daughter - "The danger for some tadpoles is that the pond will dry up before they get their legs"

Hi Trey... I am growing to love the posting concept where the blogger ties a seemingly unrelated topic back to real estate with the related verbiage. The todpole concept is a great example of that! :)
