This Last Week has Been a Great Ride

Last Thursday and Friday I attended the Certified Luxury Home Designation class taught by Active Rain guru Sharon Simms and her daughter Tami Simms-Powel.
Sunday I got a commitment for 4 new listings that we will be putting up over the next couple of months.
Monday: opened a new escrow, had 3 home inspections, attended the CRS Sell-a-bration, help host the Honolulu Active Rain Gathering with members from around the country and Active Rain founder Matt Heaton and wife Lydia in attendance.
Tuesday I closed a nice escrow and got a commitment for another listing and attended the CRS Sell-a-bration and the CRS Fun Night. At the Fun night I sat with top agents from around the country including a really fascinating agent from the Bahamas, who joined Active Rain today.
Wednesday I attended the CRS Sell-a-bration, invited several more agents to join Active rain over lunch and won a grand prize at the CRS convention. (More on that later). I then had an evening community meeting followed by a dinner.
Thursday I signed a great listing of an older home on the hill with a nice view and did a walk through of another one that they are getting ready for sale. I will most likely be putting that on the market in about 2 or 3 months. That evening I taught my chess class.
Friday I came up for air. I am catching up on paperwork, follow-ups and Active Rain.
Tomorrow I will be back hitting it, starting with another listing appointment, followed by showing homes to a buyer and speaking at a doctors conference in Honolulu about my experiences with my tremendous weight loss over the last year.

This has been my first chance to take a deep breath in a week. I would not have been able to juggle that insane schedule if it were not for having technology and great support. Cell phone and a laptop makes my office anywhere where I am. Having wonderful agents in my office like Celeste " WooHoo Sally" Cheeseman and Karen Davidson covering for me in a pinch made me look good to my clients even when I was cutting it a little too tight.

Looking back, it was a great ride. With my batteries completely recharged at the CRS conference, the Simms luxury homes classes and the Active Rain Gathering I am ready to hit the ground running and have a great 2008.

Randy, that's one heckuva week! Congratulations on all your successes, new contacts, parties, courses, and the grand prize which I look forward to learning more about.

Randy, all your running around and business made me tired...I think I'll take a nap! LOL

Sounds like you had a wonderful week! You got to meet some great agents and some of my favorites. Congratulations on all your business!

Randy - I am so thrilled to hear you are busy - and things are going well - remember to breathe and take time for you.

Randy that is a great week. You must be Superman or at least Super Realtor to do all that and still have time to blog :)

Brian - I has been a heck of a week.

Linda - I am very lucky to work with such great folks. We help each other out without question.

Thesa - There will always be time for yourself, when things slow down a bit. Now that the convention is over things will settle down a bit.

George - I do not know about that. But I do enjoy moving in the fast lane.

Yeah...you looked beat yesterday....with you doing all that and me manning the office ALL week ...it sure has been one heck of a week for both of us. I'm tired too, Randy. I need this weekend....4.75 hours to go at the office. You wanted busy...woohoo!

P.S. You were sweet to show you appreciate me and Karen :) It's team work buddy :)

A very busy and productive week for sure....catch your breath and go forward! What is th eold saying....want something done, ask a busy man!

Randy - BACK to work? It sounds like you never stopped! It was great to have you in class and we really appreciate all the Aloha you shared during the week.

Sally - I would not have kept all the balls in the air this week without your help.

Gary - Hopefully others will try to find me. Have a great 2008.

Sharon - It was fun meeting you in person and I am glad you had the class.

Well balanced week! Commitment at it's finest. Congratulations, and here's to a great '08!!

Wow, Randy. What a week. The stars must all be aligned. It was so great to meet you in person - thanks, again, for putting together a terrific gathering for us mainlanders. Best of luck with your listings, etc.

Jeff

Dan - It was fun for sure. Have a great 2008.

Jeff - Thank you, it was fun meeting you folks in person.

Randy,

Yikes, that's more than many do in a month or two! And Randy, it couldn't happen you a nicer guy, you deserve every bit of your success. You and Sally were both amazing, thank you once again for your wonderful aloha hospitality!

Lynda - Thank you, it was great meeting you in person.

Hey Randy, I was glad I had a chance to see you guys again out in Hawaii. I had a lot of fun and it was a good excuse for a vacation.

Randy,
Way to go! Tired but happy, huh?

Matt - We were so happy to see you and Lydia make it out. I hope you got a good recharge while you were here.

Cynthia - I was pretty tired. I was fighting a mean cold and sore throat the end of last week and the early part of this week.

Randy... glad that things have started out great for 2008. And you hit the nail on the head, a cell phone and lap top makes this more possible and easier to manage. Go get them tiger...

Jeff - Thank you, have a great 2008.

Randy- I'm with Linda....tired just reading what you did all week :) Good for you on the listings and educational things you accomplished this week.....now what are you going to do for an encore :) :)

Kathy - My next new project is to rebuild my website. I have already started the process this weekend.

Sounds like you made more money in one week then I did all last year.

Randy-I have been going through files and cleaning them out....I too need to work on the websites....I paid DAKNO Marketing (Brad Carrol) to do an extensive evaluation, never knowing it would end up to be a 19 page one......so you see, it's easier for me to clean out files then to re-do my website :) :) Are you doing your own???

Debbie - I doubt that, but I did have a great week.

Kathy - I built my own website, but came away with some new tools at the CRS Sell-a-bration that I will be using to beef up the site. I am hoping to have the upgrading well under way by next week.
