Wordless Wednesday-Is It Possible to Blend In, But Still Stand Out?

A green bird, in a green tree, with green leaves, yet he stands outs.  This is sometimes the challenge in our industry, in a sea of agents and sales people how do we fit in, yet stand out and differentiate ourselves.

Oh he is pretty! I am more of a blending in person personally. But we gotta stand out professionally!

What a beautiful bird! Standing out among other real estate teams and hundreds of local agents is definitely a challenge. We must think of things that have not been done already.

Brian, this is a fabulous photo. How did you manage to get so close? I love your comment going with the photo too. It is a challenge to stand out in a society. You are a deep thinker.

Good Friday afternoon, Brian. I saw your comment on Patricia's post to check out this bird. It's very colorful and beautiful. Do you know what kind of bird it is? Your camera did a great job... what is it?

As with your message about being unique in this business, I blog to be different. Thanks for sharing the beautiful picture!

Yolanda-thank you for stopping by, I actually don't know the name, but it is beautiful. I use an older Rebel XT Digital with a sigma lens, it does the job, but it's only 5 megapixels

Hi, Brian! Thank you for responding... we have an old SLR Rebel that I don't use any more since it was a hobby was more time consuming. Digital cameras nowadays are so smart and produce excellent results. Again, beautiful bird and thanks for sharing!
