Have you ever been to a Master Class?
During my Thanksgiving trip to Florida, I had the wonderful opportunity to sit in the audience during a Master Class given at Lynn University Conservatory of Music by world-renowed cellist Orlando Cole. Watching this amazing 100 year old virtuoso instruct seven students 1/5 his age on the finer points of their beautiful cello performances was mesmerizing and awe-inspiring. At his advanced age, Mr. Cole truly remains a master of his art with a fine attention to detail and discerning ear for musical prowess.
Wikipedia defines a master class as a class given to students of a particular discipline by an expert of that discipline -- usually music, but also painting, drama, or any of the arts.
As Realtors, real estate is our discipline.
We should all be lifelong students of our craft, constantly striving to improve ourselves, our business, and our service to our clients.
Active Rain provides the opportunity to daily immerse ourselves in a Master Class on real estate.
This post honors some of those that I look up to as Masters in this class that we call Active Rain.
Blogging for Business
Lenn Harley surely tops the list. Not only has she reached the highest peaks of Active Rain blogging, she constantly posts hardcore real estate information, discusses business blogging and posts about her success. There's always something to learn when you read one of Lenn's posts.
Blogging about the Business
Joining Lenn in the Platinum Star Hall of Fame is Bryant Tutas, commonly known as Broker Bryant (or just BB). Bryant regularly contributes to the community by unselfishly instructing Realtors around the country on his business practices drawing upon his years of experience as a successful listing broker in Florida.
Working Expired Listings
Bryant writes about expired listings and provided his letter in one of his posts. Nestor & Katerina Gasset have tirelessly informed the Active Rain network about marketing for and obtaining expired listings. Their posts and systems have inspired and helped many a member.
