Congratulations, Guys! You Are Amazing

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Daytona Condo Realty, 386-405-4408

I wanted to post it last Monday as a recap of last week, but I wanted to use an image, which was not mine, so I asked, and then waited, but did  not receive the permission, so I am bit late with it. Still, as we all know, better late than never, so here it goes.

These four AR members reached their respective milestones last week. They are measured in AR points. And no matter what many say about points, it is a measure of perseverance, dedication, patience… They are not a guaranty of professionalism, but they are as close an indication as it could only be.

This is not an accurate account of everyone on AR who reached the milestone; these are those that caught my eye.

Sean Allen - AR memberSean AllenInternational Financing Solutions, Fort Myers, FL - 401,415 points.
Sean and his company are working here in the United States, as well as in Central America and the Caribbean.

For those who are not looking for commercial financing, do not walk away. Nowhere on the profile page did he say “Professional Photographer”, but if you go and check the photos on Sean’s post, you would know it right away. Stunning photos, and taken with a degree at least higher than that of average amateur. Look at this crab. Look how the background is blurred… it is not something that you get on Point and Shoot cameras… 

Joan Whitebook - AR memberJoan Whitebook, New Hampshire 501,030 points

Her profile page says that she is “on sabbatical and taking a break from the practice of real estate.” She writes good localism posts about New Hampshire, and I often see her commenting on my blogs.

Sabbaticals do not last forever, and we might see Joan back in the trenches, unless she has nicer things to do in life.

 

Steve Shatsky - AR memberSteve Shatsky, Dallas, TX -  601,553 points

 

 

He is a third generation Realtor and for the last 15 years he is in this very competitive Dallas -Fort Worth market. His blogs about Dallas condominiums are what I need to do for my market.

We often are on the opposite sides of a political fence, but Steve is a friend of all powerful people on AR, so I am careful ;-)

 

Debe Maxwell - AR MemberDebe Maxwell

 

 

, Charlotte, NC - 700,577 points

Debe is an embodiment of a today’s Realtor. She has tons of energy. She is very consistent and very focused. Following her blogs is a must for a newbie, as it gives them an idea of where they could be both in terms of content and presentation, and how they can get there. It is essentially like watching what the best of the best do. If you are a newbie, and you happen to live in Charlotte, try to grow you business, or consider moving out. She is a mighty competitor.

I love Debbie for many reasons, and one of them is that she is not in Daytona Beach, or I would never have a chance to retire.

I somehow managed to miss her post, but please, follow the link and read it. It would leave you speechless. And leave a comment saying that you love Debe.

Congratulations to all of you. You, guys, are amazing.

P.S. If you go and see that they have more points now, it is because they are so good.

Judi - I am for life in love with workaholics. They always fascinate me.

I bow to Masters, and one can't become a master without being a workaholic

Virginia - looks like Joan is coming back to active Real Estate.

Debe is an ideal blogger on AR. She is way more focused than me. Actually, I can say the same about you.

Steve - I was joking. But with all that seat reflected in the points, you get the power. The power of having friends and followers...

I finally took it to heat and posted the first blog about the condo, similar to what you do, and what I envied.

Keep doing a great job, stay out of trouble, and avoid a cyber jail (that's where they put unfaithful cyber couples)

Happy Holidays

Margaret - I put the link to Debe's post later. I yelled (email version of yelling) at my daughter that she did not send me the link.

I can't imagine I could have missed it.

It is an incredibly powerful blog

Oh, Debe - I already told Steve that  he can end up in cyber jail in Cyber County... (LOL)

You blog shocked me. I am under the impression for some time. Started writing to Inna, and then saw that she commented on it, so she read, and she did not tell me. I e-yelled at her for that.

Now, do I see the motivation? Yes and no. Noting can help if people do not have the strength and tenacity. And good things do not happen without it.

Life is not only Christmas, and make it meaningful is more than waiting for a miracle. And you know it better than anyone else.

Hi Jon!  Don't e-yell at Inna!  She probably thought you already knew all of what was in my post since you and I were friends first!  I am glad that you liked the post and thank you again for commenting and sharing the link with others on your blog.  Ray is an inspiration to many in real-life and I hope he can inspire others in cyber-space as well!

As for Steve and I--we'll stay out of cyber jail, don't you worry!!  

Have a great week...
