You know when it is time......

You know when something just feels right......when the timing is just so that you can no longer resisit moving forward.

About a month and a half ago I met up with a friend I have known now going on 10 years.  We see one another at our kids baseball and soccer games when they were younger......at Church most Sunday's and at local events.  I saw John at my last agency the day I was stopping by to resign to move to Keller Williams.  I was surprised to see him there as he lives near me, and one of the biggest reason's for leaving for me was that the office was to far for a daily office environment.  He informed me that he just joined the office there and was surprised I was leaving.  I wished him well and told him if I could be of any assistance that he was not to hesitate to call me.  He did so that very day.....

Move ahead to about 2 weeks ago..... John and I have touched base a few times....and he was looking for direction as he is a newly licensed Agent.....and he had now joined my KW office.  This made me very happy as I have been searching for a partner to grow my business.....someone with the same background, belief's, ethic's and family ties to make this move a reality.

Today John and I are finalizing our partnership at the office and moving in a new direction together.  This is a great fit for us both and one we are sure will be successful for many years to come.....stay tuned, the Downingtown and surrounding area"s of Chester County, where we both live with our families, will be our main area of expertise and we look forward growing our referral base to and from there as well.

Dan,

Congrats on building relationships and partnerships that last. It's very important to find business partners today that share your same principles. Otherwise, one of you has to give up and make concessions about something sooner or later. That only leads to problems that sometimes can't be resolved. May God bless you both and your business as well.

Great story!  I have a similar story, I met a women who is in the mortgage industry, and just happened to be teaching classes for Mortgage/Finance for realtors  I just went to the class to "get the credit" - but I got so much more than I would have ever imagined.  I made a connection!  Since the class, we have done about 10 closings together and I am looking forward to partnering in the future by teaming up with her: mortgage and real estate, great mix!

Good Luck,  Sandy Bliven, RE/MAX South County

You Deserve The Best
Having a business partner helps business in many ways.  Being held accountable and knowing someone else is depending on your production will make the both of you get up a little earlier in the morning.  Sounds like you have chosen the right person for your team!

Kathy,

We have great hopes for our partnership, thank you.

The pink ribbon is a HUGH part of our lives.....the entire family is very involved in the Philadelphia chapter....Mother's Day walk is coming up.....about 20 in the city overnight for dinner and then the walk....always a great time.
