January is historically a time when people still have their resolve about them and they are determined to meet all those New Year resolutions they made on December 31st. In our industry, breaking records will usually occur in January and/or February. This year is no exception. Between the two classes, we have an attendance we’ve never experienced!
Our evening class began January 4th and our Fast Track class begins today. We are a Mom and Pop type of organization, and Keller Williams Realty Gulf Coast is gracious enough to allow our school to conduct classes out of their training facilities. TEAM Hughes Real Estate School is not affiliated with Keller Williams and I have the utmost regard for the local offices and the people who run them.
I am sure we get some of our students from Keller Williams Realty’s efforts, but they are not our only source of students. One of our best sources comes from former students, and we honor those people who trust us by small tokens of our appreciation. It is important to TEAM Hughes Real Estate School to develop relationships rather than just teaching the class to people we may never see again. I am guessing that’s why we are breaking records this month. People like us, they trust us, and they learn from us. I say this with great humility. Our only goal is to take what we have stored in our minds and in our hearts and to pass it on to our students.
Breaking records is invigorating! Realistically speaking, we have our goals for class attendance, and they are modest goals. Bob and I aren’t looking to build a fortune from this enterprise. It’s important to us to know we are doing a good job. We love what we do, and we do it passionately with the hope that our students will pick up on the energy and enthusiasm we display. Breaking records means we have to go beyond where we are right now. We have to muster more energy, we have exhibit more passion, and we have to love more.
Breaking records will not happen every month, so we’ll enjoy the “high” of it for now. If we never break another record, however, we can remember how great January of 2016 began our year. If you want to begin your year breaking records, and if practicing real estate is your passion, do it today! Call or email me. I’m teaching all day all week, but I’ll never be too tired to talk with you or to email a response to you in the evening. You are why we are here! Contact Us Today!
