Wear Your Pin or Go Aggies ... I do not know what to title this post

By
Education & Training with RealtyU

If you live in Texas you probably know a lot of Aggie jokes.  And there are a lot of them.  However, I am amazed at some of the stories I hear and how vast the Aggie network is. 

I am in the process of getting my MBA, round two ... first time I started this process I ended up creating CreateAPlan and never finished the MBA process.  I am interviewing individuals about their experience.  I have had one initial conversation with a gentleman from Texas A&M and from that conversation has come 6 more contacts and lengthy conversations.  This is really what networking is about.

During each of the conversations with Aggies each told me that their class ring has started more conversations, outside the state Texas and even abroad.  That got me to thinking about the REALTOR pin some of us wear with pride and some that have never taken it out of the bag.

Are you wearing your REALTOR pin and do you know what that pin is to represent?

Hi Allen. I don't wear my pin.  I don't wear my name badge.  I do wear RE/MAX clothing.  Go ILL-INI.

At least you have something that identifys you and can strike up a conversation.

Hi Allen.  Nice bald head by the way.  People strike up conversations with me all the time.  It almost seems the less I try to talk real estate, the more people drag it out of me.

Allen - As an Aggie, I agree that we take our rings seriously.  I graduated 11 years ago from Texas A&M and I still wear my ring everyday.  It is a great conversation starter, if you see someone wearing theirs.  Aggies have an instant bond.  I created an Aggie Activerain group and it has been fun contacting with Aggies across the country.
