Special offer

God is my Broker

Services for Real Estate Pros with Alamo City Homes Magazine

This weekend, I got my first local listing.  The seller lives out of state, and they couldn't get the house cleaned out. So, I figured I would do it. While there a neighbor came by with his daughter and said that she was interested in buying the house. I get her info and she's totally approved. If everything goes all right, she'll be presenting an offer in the next couple days. And I haven't gotten a sign up yet.

But I was thinking last night, God is my Broker. He'll take care of my business and send me the leads that will help me and I can help them. 

My entire commission belongs to Him, but He'll provide and bless me because He has told me that I am the head and not the tail.

I just wanted to let everyone know.

Plus, there's no franchise or desk fees with Him.

You are so right! When I started in the RE business It wasn't going too well. I prayed to GOD to just give me "my daily bread's worth of business" to "allow me to help others achieve their dreams".

Well the phone started ringing shortly thereafter and the clients has always been there for me. I've never really done any marketing. The first year I did about $60k and the 2nd year I did about $150K. I could've netted more but I discount my listing commissions and I give Buyers money back at closing.

James 5: 16 ... The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results

You're on the right path Eric, you're walking in JC's footsteps

Eric,

It is great to find a BROTHER in Christ here.  We may be the minority, but we are not alone.

If you check out my blog - look at the TAGS - I did a full Bible Study on the 1st Chapter of James and how it relates to my business.  It is not all pretty, there are struggles that I document that I was experiencing at the time.

I have just subscribed to your blog - I look forward to more insight from you.

Now Have a Blessed Day,
