karen lewis: Get to Know Dr. Karen-My 1st job & what did I learn?
- 05/08/22 04:46 PM
It's been such a long time since I have had a job. Well, let's go wayyyyyyy back. My first job was in 1981 - five days after I graduated from high school. I was 17 years old, and I was supposed to work there just for the summer. I got accepted to University of Florida; but when I started making that $5.85 per hour, that's when new plans came about. I went to work at Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH) in Miami, FL. Jackson Memorial Hospital is known as one of the best hospitals in the world. I enjoyed working there but … (6 comments)

During the 13 days of K1 Konnect Motivational sessions, one of the topics were "Pick your Battle." All battles are not worth fighting.

Number two topic: Pick your battles

My husband and I are totally different. I am the bunny rabbit and he is the turtle and it used to drive me up the wall for me to speak with him in the middle of my workday especially when I am scheduled to take a call in five-minutes. I admit we did survive; but for the last ten years, it's been a breath of fresh air.
Keep in mind, I do everything fast: Type, eat, … (2 comments)
I had the opportunity to interview Mike Jones, Fitness & Nutrition Coach of One Body One Mind Fitness and Co-Creator of Rhythm Rumble Workout. Cheryl Jones is the Creator of Rhythm Rumble Workout. I am always looking for information to share with my agents about more than just buying and selling real estate. It's important to me as a Broker to see my agents be the best version of themselves in their every day living.
My best tip in this video is how Mike Jones tells us that we can do one exercise every 30 minutes and at the end of … (7 comments)
In real estate, it doesn’t matter if you are a top-producer or a none-producer, we should still understand the importance of following up. And this doesn’t mean just following up to get the sale, it’s doing so throughout the entire process and with everyone involved. Here are some examples:
Showings: Some agents have lots of listings but no assistant. They end up getting bombarded with calls that they cannot answer, forcing the calls to voicemail. Often those calls are never returned, especially if they already have a contract on the property, and using showing instruction is just a waste of time for … (1 comments)
Though the COVID-19 (or Coronavirus) needs no introduction, each and every one of us has been faced with trying to understand both the current and long-term impacts it will have on our personal and professional lives. For me, I wanted to know how real estate agents should be thinking about COVID-19 and its impact to how we do business.
I recently had the opportunity to interview Dr. Sidney Coupet, DO, an internal medicine specialist from Pompano Beach, and it was a wake-up call for me on understanding how serious this pandemic is. It’s hard to … (1 comments)
What is your mindset level on a scale of 1 through 10? Motivation for real estate agents Motivational Quotes
What is your mindset level on a scale of 1 through 10?
Most agents fail in the business because they do not have the mindset level to win. No matter what business you enter, we need a foundation with having the right mindset and attitude. My mindset level was an "8" this morning and I immediately changed it to a "10." I have that choice and so do you. It's … (6 comments)
karen lewis: Joining the Board with National Association of Real Estate Brokers
- 04/06/20 12:24 PM
January 2020, I was honored to be sworn in by Mayor Oliver Gilbert of Miami Gardens as a Board Member with National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB). I heard of the organization prior but did not have much information to decide on joining. I would get emails, and one day my curiosity widened to seek more information about the organization. I admit after my research, I was quite intrigued by the history of NAREB.
Here is a brief history of NAREB: The National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) was formed July 29, 1947, making it the oldest minority trade association in America.[1] NAREB was established by … (2 comments)
karen lewis: Day 6) The true story is behind the scenes
- 04/06/20 09:50 AM
K1 Konnect Motivational Video Topic: Day 6) The true story is behind the scenes That’s where it really counts. No one gets to see the blood, sweat, and tears. People just see the light that shines on stage. Most people want the easy road. Since there are so many of us on that road, it seems quite alright. If I showed you my daily schedule, you could tell where my future is headed and vice versa. The key to success does not come from what’s shown in the spotlight. It’s the journey that successful people go through behind the scenes. Do not settle for mediocre if … (0 comments)
karen lewis: Let Your Light Shine thru Random Acts of Kindness!
- 04/05/20 06:40 AM
During this season, all of us can use some positivity. We have changed our usual normal to a new normal. Some like it and most I know are frowning on it because they feel that they are on house arrest. No matter how we feel, it's best that we learn to adapt at least for now and be in good spirit.
Let's talk about this virtual world for me: As a Broker, I was not doing the webinars, on-line trainings, etc. We did our lunch and learn workshops every Wednesday at the office. We did our buyer's consultation at … (14 comments)

- 04/02/20 05:52 AM
It's been over a year since I have blogged on the rain. Every now and then I would come through and answer a question or two. I met Margaret Rome on Active Rain. My first call was from her was to welcome me on Active Rain. Also, she had read one of my blogs and saw some of the comments. I thought an agent's comment was sarcastic and I kindly replied back with a negative comment and I called the agent...Moving forward, I did end up liking the agent; and Margaret introduced me to the correct behavior in the world of … (9 comments)
karen lewis: Love my Clients!
- 02/03/19 09:30 AM
Most times even on a bad transaction, we tend to love it when we get to the closing table. Here is my love story on one of my transactions. True love is not always smooth sailing. It’s like a marriage. We have humps and bumps but we keep going instead of throwing in the towel. The story began...I can’t remember which one of my clients referred me to this couple. On that gloomy rainy Monday afternoon, we sat down and met with one another. They were first time home buyers and they had no clue of the process. That’s why when … (6 comments)
