"Some people succeed because they are destined to, but most people succeed because they are determined to." - Anonymous

            I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but I was born with determination.

            2009 began for the most part like any other year.  What I didn't know was that shortly past Easter my life was to soon come to a screeching halt.  It was a sharp slap when the company I brokered under announced to closure of some of their terminals, including mine.  What now?

            Being independently employed for 25 plus years had shown me the ups and the downs of many things.  This "down" was to turn into one of the biggest and undoubtedly best opportunities I have ever had before me.  This opportunity wasn't handed to me in a neat little package all wrapped up and ready to open, however.  Hence, the determination factor.  Taking advantage of my sudden unexpected gift of time, I returned to school, got my license, and settled in for some detective work.

            The result?  Currently, I have an exclusive right to sell 60 new construction single family home properties in Rochester , MN .  Many of these homes are along a golf course and priced under $200,000.00.  Wow!

            The biggest reason buyers and sellers choose an agent is because they like working with that agent. I'm professional, understanding, honest, and have ample experience as an entrepreneur. (Factor in determination and sleuthing abilities) Helping buyers and sellers with their Real Estate needs is a fascinating and rewarding business to me. I will be working with  1st and 2nd  home buyers  to help them  qualify for financing and choosing  the detailed needs (floors, cupboards, etc)  that will  make their home buying process an easy and stress free as possible experience.  

            I personally am selling my 3500 sq. ft. home on 3 acres in the country for a 2500 square foot home on the golf course. Instead of maintaining a big home and yard I don't need,  I will be enjoying other things like sitting on my back deck on the golf course or driving my sports car that I bought with the money I saved on my new home.  So not only is this a fabulous opportunity for the 1st and 2nd homeowners, but also for those who are just ready to downsize.

 Life is good in Rochester , MN .

Daniel, The little things done well and consistently add power to all the bigger things you do in every day.  Clearly you see the path and sticking to it will bring, and has brought you results. I look forward to hearing more.  I think we drink similar kool-aid.  Have a great week.

Dan, the golf course homes sound like a great deal!  It's nice to live by a golf course and enjoy their green space without having to mow it.

Daniel, it seems like you've got a great opportunity in a pretty good market.  Since you have the Mayo clinic there, you should have a TON of people who are snaring those properties, if they haven't already.

Mayo Clinic, IBM, and the new "Elk Run Bio" building soon north of town have helped our area stay fairly stable thru these economic times. Thanx for all your comments and support.

Daniel - Good story, and thanks for the comment. You should add a picture of one of those golf course homes to your post. I'm a sucker for golf pictures.

You are exactly right.  Most people work with people not companies in our business.  I went from a big name to various small ones and I don't think anyone even noticed since I kept the same number.  Congratulations on your success.

This sounds REALLY nice - I am almost ready to give up all the yardwork and get a home maintenance free!    How are your homes selling?

Everything is going as planned. Right now with the colored leaves on the hillsides it's more beautiful than ever. Thanx for all your comments. If you have anyone moving to the Rochester area it's definitely the best deal around.

Here we are nine months later, and I hope everything has worked out for you. I’ve also found that “sleuthing abilities” come in handy. J
