Yesterday's radio show was one of the best! We had the most calls, maybe in the history of the show. Dave Meurer hosted "All About Real Estate" and asked me to join him as a guest.

We started the show talking about Midori Miller's post, Are You An Extraordinary Real Estate Professional? She describes agents as:

• Mediocre - they say things like: "I've already done that." "It's too much work." 
• Ordinary – they do just what is expected, and simply go with the flow
  
• Extraordinary – they believe in doing what benefits others first, they continue to train and take classes, and they are flexible enough to take action as times change.

Dave and I both believe in being in that Extraordinary group. How? First, we were doing the radio show on a beautiful Sunday at the end of summer. And Dave took time away from his family and very busy schedule to attend the Piggy TRAC Bar B Que Open House  last Tuesday afternoon. He gives extraordinary service, takes the time to really listen, and to help buyers and sellers whether they use him for their mortgage or not.

I had lots more to say but the phone was hot. The board was lit up almost the entire time. We could not get to them all!

We had agents, buyers, sellers, some one with questions on refinancing, a daughter asking about the best way for her mom to purchase a home, an older caller wanting to sell his home "as is", another person talking about the people responsible for the Fannie Mae/ Freddie Mac collapse, an agent calling about her open house (well actually it was about her "open" lot for sale which was near the water.) That led me to talk about a new listing that is coming soon in Sparrows Point: a 3 bedroom, 3 bath rancher with a 2 car garage and you can walk to the water; I will be posting that one soon.

And then Brandon Michael from TRAC Auctions called in to tell us about an auction property this coming Tuesday at 39 N. Eden Street that has been rehabbed. You can see the property www.TracAuctions.com.  I had to put him on hold to get to the other callers.  Thanks for holding Brandon. We then  talked about our new online bidding option. www.eTRACauctions.com. Whew!

Before we knew it the hour was up, the music was playing, and we were signing off. But before we left,  Dave and I extended our condolences to The Overby family on the loss of Terry Stafford's dad. and a big wish for Billie Tutas' speedy recovery. Please pray for TLW. Because caring about our community – even one that stretches across the country like Active Rain – that's another thing that sets extraordinary agents apart.
