I have experienced many "firsts" of significance in my life. There would be the first step (that one I don't remember), 1st date, 1st job in first university teaching career, 1st ocean dive for my SCUBA certification, 1st run for public office, 1st sale in my real estate career and so on through life. All these were anticipated for a period of time and with enthusiasm. However, I never anticipated a first blog nor did I anticipate my enthusiasm to be tempered by just a tad of terror. Nevertheless, my years of real estate business beginning as Rookie of the Year in both units and volume for a national franchise followed by nearly 22 years of a successful and profitable practice leaves me eager to share and determined to help others be the best they are committed to be in real estate and in life. Life today in all its facets in my opinion is about relationships. Talent, education and experience while very important are not as important as those connections we make on a daily basis. My hope is that my blog will lead to a whole new set of valued relationships with my readers.
Have you read the QBQ by.....? This amazing book and his follow up book Flipping the Switch (more about these in a later blog) have taught me to ask the right questions. The "what" and "how" questions instead of the blame& guilt questions often beginning with who, when or why. My friend Fran Flynn Thorsen, a blogger of national import was my inspiration to step out of my comfort zone and go "public" with my "what" and "how" questions. What can I do to help raise the bar in the real estate industry? How can I help other real estate professionals achieve their dreams? This is my mission on a daily basis in the non-cyber world of real estate as Broker of Record and Team Leader of the highly productive and profitable office of Keller Williams Real Estate in Allentown. Join me to discover how my agent leadership team and I strive to provide the cultural and learning based environments with our agent partners so that they will have careers worth having, businesses worth owning and lives worth living. Or just ask a question. I like putting my years of experience to the test.
