Monday Monday: A Time To Relax And Enjoy!

Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

Laughingly, Ron referred to us as Napa Consultants, we are open 24/7, these past two weeks.  At last the bulk of our project is completed on time and on deadline.  As some of you may know, we work on at least two time zones at a time.  Here is how tight our timelines were.  

 

With 8 day's notice, we had to write scripts for two videos, interface with different entities supplying us with photos, work with our designer on logos and video titles, and also design the 3 open house brochures for the printer (EST) to have ready on Saturday afternoon for the open house.

 

Last Friday evening, the videographer (also on EST) had completed a requested video. It was not perfect.  He agreed to get it done after he had his dinner.  Ron set his alarm for 5AM, Saturday.  He reviewed the video, gave it two thumbs up, as did the client.  

 

One more hurdle, that video had to be uploaded on our client's website.  Our web developer lives in Texas, Central Time Zone.  We emailed him the link and he had it in place by 9AM EST, when the Eblast was scheduled. 

 

Today is a day off for us.  Pictured above is a shot of Lake Casitas which is part of the Ventura County watershed, nestled in the mountains near the Ojai Valley, which is where we began our half day off yesterday.  

 

Wishing you all a great week ahead.

Well synchronicity seemed to be at play here. And glad that you two are able to take some time to play...so important. We are planning to head to Bend for a couple of days this weekend - providing dad's condition is stable.  It will be so good to have some downtime - especially with the kiddos. They keep us on the move.

Hannah Williams It is a bit easier now.  At one point, we had to deal with European time zones.  England differs from the rest of Europe, of course.  A

When I work with international buyers life gets very hectic. I once had a client in Iraq, South Korea and one in Australia. What a fun month that was Alexandra...

Morning Alexandra.

Sounds like the typical day of an successful agent.  Exactly, why I don't compete with the agents at our office

Congratulation Ron and Alexandra Seigel on the near completion of your big project.  What a satisfying feeling you both must have felt and able to take some rewarding time off on Monday.  Love the photo of your Lake Casitas.

Hi Alexandra,
I'm a couple days late but hope you enjoyed a well deserved day off!  In my previous life, I worked the Eastern time zone every day for years.  The day started early and I'm not really a morning person.   But, you do what needs to be done, right?

Carol Williams the only time I am a morning person is on snow ski trip.  I want to be one of the first on the hill...and yes, we do what is needed.  It is how we stay in business.  A

Jane Chaulklin-Schott We are already at work on Phase II, and the deadline is not as tight, which give us breathing room.  Lake Casitas is being filled with all the rain, as is out other one, Lake Cachuma, which have needed more water.  A
