Rolling, Rolling, Rolling

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Brooks Prime Properties Wichita Falls Texas

Real Estate encompasses so many different professions within one circle of life.

Are you utilizing all your sources that make up the hub of your wheel?

You are the Hub. Whatever you do. Since I'm a Realtor it's easier to use that as an example. As the hub of my wheel, I have worked with many spokes (folks) that keep me rolling. Now, when the rolling slows down, your wheel needs to gain momentum and pick up speed.

How do we do that? lake conroe real estate, deb brooks

Take a few minutes each and every day and contact one of your folks...spokes. As a Realtor, my spokes would be contacts at the Title Company, Appraisers, Members of my local Board, Inspectors, local bankers, Mtg. Brokers and so on. You get my drift.

Just call to say, "Hi". This is all you need to do. You will be at the top of their list the next time anyone asks them, "who is the best Agent/Realtor around?", or Inspector or so on! Your name will be at the tip of their lips. Good job.

They will drop your name. And, the wheel will begin picking up momentum.

Do it.

Deb, what a great analogy and a wonderful idea.  Keeping your name on the tip of their tongue and one day it roll off it to a buyer or seller, hopefully!  --Krystal

Good advice, Deb. Sometimes we need to step away from our computers and talk to real people.  I need to do way more of that.

Deb- Nestor is so good at that, me- not so much:) I was in BNI for over 25 years and loved it. I quit BNI the month that AR brought us more listings than BNI did and I did not have to get dressed up, put my makeup on, etc,  LOL. It is all about time savers now. The older we get the more precious each moment in time becomes. Our title company though, that is a different story- Tina and Laura are such a huge part of our lives, like extended family. We talk to them nearly every day as they handle most of our closings. They will also drive all the way to Tallahassee or to Miami to close a short sale for us. Amazing gals! Love them dearly.

Krystal! Thank you, We all are the hub of our wheel. I wish I would take more of my good advice. I think I am getting to the point that I want to teach. "Doing" is tougher to do. Thank you so much for commenting!

Sharon, I guess you're being here means you are feeling better? I do hope so.

Jane, it is good for us. I had a great conversation with Craig above and my son today! It was a great day!

Kat, you are a very smart lady! If you have that good a relationship with your Title company folks then you are doing great! I know you are anyway. I would love to visit again someday. It's been a while. Let's make it happen my friends! Hugs.

Craig, we had certainly BETTER talk again soon! I had a really great time getting to know the man behind the Internet! Let's build that relationship my new friend! Hugs!
