Spring Changes means Real Estate Business Changes Too

Spring Changes means Real Estate Business Changes Too

 

At Christmas time, I got a MACRO lens and have not taken it out of the case but once since then. Yesterday, a ladybug flew into the dog’s water bowl, so I decided it was time to take a few pictures with my new lens. I have been procrastinating for 3 months! Do I procrastinate in other parts of my life too?

 

 

 

Spring Changes means Real Estate Business Changes Too

 

I must practice to get better with this lens as it is still on ‘Automatic’ and I need to watch the disc and improve my skills. It is neat to be able to see the eyes of the bugs and the veins of the plants. Amazing how close to nature we can get!  This made me think of my iPad as I still need more practice there.

 

 

 

 

Spring Changes means Real Estate Business Changes Too

 

So while I was outside taking my pictures, I started thinking how I need to get closer to my past clients, sphere, and potential clients. I stay in touch by emailed newsletters and snail mailed holiday cards but do I really get that close.

 

 

 

Spring Changes means Real Estate Business Changes Too

 

 

No, how many times do I just call to say hello and ask how the family is doing or how is the new house or what about the new job? I need to get closer so they know I care.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spring Changes lead to a New Business Model

 

And to be a better agent, I should take a closer look at my business like I do nature. Is it where I want it to be or should I dig deeper for the real truth?

 

 

 

 

 

Spring Changes lead to a New Business Model

 

 

Do I need to plant more seeds (farming seeds) to get more listings. I think I need to take my gardening and nature tasks and add them to my business to see total growth in the next few months.

 

 

 

 

Spring Changes lead to a New Business Model

 

 

Also I must continue to get more skills on my iPad and go ahead and buy the new computer I have been waivering on buying.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spring changes means Getting back on Track

 

To plant my seeds to have a lovely garden this summer will make me a happy farmer, photographer and real estate agent.

I love real estate. ©

Hi David,

I took some faces on the ornaments at Christmas and they came out over exposed so the nature photos are better with natural light.

Hi Michelle,

It is amazing how close our business and our lives are correlated together. I try to draw the line but obviously I can learn from both sides of my life.

Hi David,

The market is improving and business is getting better for all of us. I am a better listing agent than photographer but try for some improvement with my hobbies. I love real estate and have been marketing for so many years as it comes natural and I stay up on all the latest technology.!

Hi Kwee,

I wanted to mix business plans with spring so the more I thought about it, the more it seemed to flow. Best wishes for a successful 2013 for you too. Happy Spring!

Hi Kristin, Analogies aside, it is all about perspective and you seem to have a good one on business as well as photography.

Hi Joni,

I thought you had one as you have done some really nice closeups in the past. I found out how much they were and said 'No Santa" but he brought it anyway so I guess I need to get proficient with it. I am going to try to get some tomorrow. I would like to get a few more bugs like a lizard and a bee. Hope you were not close to the explosion!
