Real Estate Agent with Chris Alston (Keller Williams Realty, Silicon Valley, California) 01338415

As most of you all know, I am out in Austin Texas this week at an awesome training.  Heeeee Hawwwwww!!!  And low and behold, who do I run into?  Yup!  Stefan Swanepoel.

Stefan Swanepoel

As most of you know, Stefan Swanepoel was the one who wrote "Surviving Your Serengeti"...  I am a croc...  What are you?  He also writes the Swanepol 2011 Trends Report.

Stefan was very nice, and hung out with us (about 5 of us) for about 45 minutes.  Talking about anything and everything.  What a down to earth guy!

Hi Chris, just spotted you post. It was great to meet you and your team in Austin. Your team is fabulous!

Justin and Krystal, to closer pinpoint what animal represents your strongest instinctive skill, take the quiz 3-minute free online quiz at http://www.WhatAnimalAmI.com - its fun and easy!

Hi Liz and Bill, I think its the right thing to do, so I try to track down all of the social media and blog posts that reference me. I also really appreciate the review you did for Surviving Your Serengeti. Thank you!

Joshua, no sure about being famous - just someone who has been blessed - and for that I am eternally grateful.

Mary, glad you enjoyed the read.

Jack :-)

I read that book in a day!! Granted it is not the longest book in the world and not a 1000+ page book like the science behind Mathamatics and Physics, but I couldn't put it down. I admit that I took the quiz before I read the book but once I read the characteristics of the crocidile it was dead on to my personality. I am one of the most out of the box people you will ever meet.
