There's something my Team Leader used to always say that has really stuck in my mind.  She would ask agents, "Are you running your business like a business or are you chasing transactions?"  Weird question to ask a Real Estate agent, right!??  Most agents get into Real Estate because they think i...

Yesterday, a very good friend and fellow Keller Williams agent sent me a video he recently did regarding being passionate in what you do.  He geared it more towards Real Estate agents and what makes one stand out from the rest; that the agents who truly love what they do, the ones who exude passi...
