Double, double toil and trouble...
Our market feels a bit like a scene from Shakespeare's Macbeth at times, doesn't it? A lot of fire, heat and toiling away. We've talked to many agents lately who allow that feeling to overwhelm them. Don't let that be you. Stand strong, have faith and keep stirring. This market, this time--like all that have come before--is fleeting faster than you know. It might not feel like it at times, but it will pass, as everything does. So stir your pot this month, have a little bit of fun (like we are in this issue), and stick to the basics of staying in touch. Pointy hats and potions optional! |

October's Agent in the Spotlight:
Michael Sullivan, Fonville Morisey Realty
Michael Sullivan, a professional REALTOR® since 1993, found himself in a difficult position this past January 1: No listings and a need to dissolve a longstanding business partnership. That type of "starting over" is both eye opening and
career changing.
Now on track for 35 to 75 transactions and $10 million in production this year, Michael attributes his success to his coach, his comprehensive system and his commitment to service.
"I've always believed that tough times bring new opportunities. It's a chance to learn new things and overcome new challenges. I realized that just as professional athletes need coaches to help them get on track and stay there, it was time for me to do the same.
"I guess I was like most sales agents who purchase sales systems; I put it on the shelf and forgot about it! It wasn't until the market turned and I hired a coach that I realized what a tremendous tool I had all along!
"One system, the BusinessBASETM, is a great foundation. It makes staying top-of-mind with prospects literally point-and-click easy. I can choose from more than 600 marketing pieces without having to take my valuable time to create a thing!
"My advice to fellow agents about prospecting: Just when you feel like you're tired of mailing postcards, flyers and brochures, that's when your prospects are just getting used to hearing from you! You have to stay in the game, and this system has helped make that possible while saving me time and money and allowing me to grow my business.
"In fact, building my business has never been more exciting. I am bringing on a buyer's agent and an assistant in November, and I'm on track to build my team to four by next April, with a goal of $30 million for 2009! You can bet my 'triple threat' will be foundation for that growth!"
Some of Michael's favorite components are:
- BusinessBASETM--builds your business
- EZ Exit Guarantee--makes listing simple
- FSBO tools--everything is done for you
- Data mining--disarms the competition
- Niche marketing--strong advantage
- Merchandising review - price it RIGHT
"People ask me how to attain success. I tell them first you have to have a passion for what you do. Next, make an impression every day. Our company has a creed, 'Take care of the people, and the rest takes care of itself.' This system makes that not just doable, but simple."

Book of the Month: Winning Every Day by Lou Holtz
While not exactly fitting with our spooky theme, anyone who ever had an opportunity to come up against this incredible competitor knows that he was more than the "Fighting Irish." He was a master motivator who guided Notre Dame to the 1988 National College Football Championship.
In the book, he shares his game plan for success: dream, believe and achieve. "Write down everything you hope to achieve in life," Holtz writes. "Then make sure you do something every day to realize one of your dreams. You are going to encounter adversity, but you will also... take big, satisfying bites out of life."
