community: A 30 Year Celebration! - 07/11/17 12:30 PM

 
Maybe it was an independance day for me 30 years ago when I joined my first real estate company as a newly licensed salesperson? I took some advice (or did I lose a bet), got my license in 1987, and the market crashed that very October. The rest is history, mystery and a little magic...
Coldwell Banker was my company of choice, they were new to the east coast, from California, and seemed like a good fit. It was daunting, not only being new in Real Estate, but representing a company who people thought was a bank! It was … (1 comments)

community: A T.E.A.M. FOR ALL SEASONS - 02/07/17 05:25 AM

When I was young the meaning of a team was sports related like baseball, basketball or football teams competing against one another. As I matured I began to develop a keener sense of life and began to see the competition and the drive these teams had to win! I was a cheerleader (little known fact) in elementary school cheering on the CYO basketball teams with a resounding T-E-A-M…GO TEAM. Still thinking that the only meaning a team had referred to sports.
Fast forward to the post college business world and a team was a department in a corporate structure that needed to perform … (3 comments)

community: 🎄🎄🎄Real Estate & The Holidays: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year - 12/19/16 03:42 AM

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
When the houses are selling and kids jingle belling,
And everyone saying "I bought it this year"!
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
It's the hap-happiest season of all,
With those holiday greetings, Cafe Realty meetings, 
When your agent happens to call.
It's the hap- happiest season of all!
There'll be appointments for hosting,
Adult beverages for toasting,
And showings out in the snow.
There'll be scary closing stories, 
And tales of the glories of 
Relationships long, long ago.
It's the most wonderful time of the year! 
There'll be much party going,
And hearts will be glowing, 
When closings are near... 
It's the most … (0 comments)

community: real estate.coffee.conversation - 10/02/16 12:02 PM
This is a story about a small real estate company that began a journey in 2013. During these 3 short years a 3 partner collaboration grew to 4 partners, 12 agents, 2 support staff, and a referral company of 11. We forged ahead at a time when many independents were retreating to corporate brokerage. We felt strong and powerful equipped with experience, charm and innovation. It was no small feat to orchestrate and ignite a start up, however, the companies we all were with formerly gave us the ability to be insightful. This truly collaborative company compelled us to combine forces that … (2 comments)

community: Cafe Realty Talks About Keller, Inman, Hogshead, Godin - 08/24/16 08:47 PM
I discovered Gary Keller and Keller Williams around 2006 while looking for something different in real estate. I was at Coldwell Banker for 19 years  and nothing was ringing my bell. I love the educational aspect of real estate and this man knew what he was talking about...trends, market analysis, and a sense of self! A true quantum leap for me!
Real estate is not magic, contrary to popular belief, it's just basics and whole lotta awareness. Simultaneously the behavioral aspect of the industry is fascinating and my own journey of self discovery was under way. Changing the way I looked at … (0 comments)

community: L I F E S T Y L E + C U L T U R E = COMMUNITY - 12/06/15 04:59 AM
What makes a community?
Do you have art, music, dance, theater? Parks, a pro-environment  attitude, sidewalks, coffee, pet friendliness, varied housing inventory, dining options, parking, happy hour?
Are you walkable, close to NYC access, public transportation, bike/walking/hiking paths, farms?
What do people want when searching for a home is more than a community, it’s the  neighborhoods inside. No perfect town/community /neighborhood exists so we prioritize according to our lifestyle and the culture we seek.
What attracts people to a community is it the ability to make an awesome cup of coffee? Is it a short walk to the RR station or the availability of farm … (0 comments)
