seasoned: REAL ESTATE EXAM SHOULD HAVE
- 10/02/20 04:34 PM
I have never really believed the Real Estate exam they administer in California to be effective or on target with how a newly practicing Real Estate agent should proceed. In fact, just because there are a certain set of do's and don't doesn't mean or guarantee a licensed result whatever that is. Just what is licensing and what is it supposed to do or not do? SIMILAR TO A DEGREE Its not the degree one walks away from when leaving college but how it is activated and wielded on the job. How can any degree prepare anyone for what is to come? All it can do … (8 comments)
seasoned: AN AGENT HAS TO CLOSE
- 12/06/16 07:59 AM
What is the point of having a Real Estate agent if that agent does not make a difference? Let's back up a bit. A principal like a seller, investor or buyer wakes up one day and wants to enter into the Real Estate fields i.e. do some business. In the majority and high percentile of cases, that means calling an agent to hit the ground running & gets things going! AGENT ACTIVATION There has to be and most certainly is a big difference between an agent ramping up to do business and an layman or FSBO. When hiring an agent, a series of mandatory events … (7 comments)
seasoned: LICENSE TO THRILL

That be us Real Estate agents. We are involved in a profession that moves people deeply within and affects their well-being at the same time. We stand ready to play a significant part in hundreds of thousands of dollars moving around and the pace that it moves has to do with what we do or don't do I KNOW YOUR AILMENT? Everyone likes to share personal opinions. Take the medical arena. Not only do people share what their personal ailment or infliction was or is but the Internet allows for one to enlarge on their opinion considerably. However, unless you spent the seven years studying and interning, … (0 comments)
seasoned: REAL ESTATE LICENSE SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING
- 01/22/15 10:56 PM
I talked with a background investigator one time that was in charge of evaluating a persons character. I brought up how I have been licensed for decades and he remarked that his agency while acknowledging the background doesn't give it to much weight when applied to certain positions. I beg to differ sez I LICENSED Yes, it is true that anyone can get a license if they follow the proper procedures and pass the testing and meet the qualifications. They can even not use it or just occasionally apply it and it doesn't say much over time. Perhaps it is not a high or … (6 comments)

You can learn to fly an airplane, drive a car, work a machine, use a computer, cell phone, and other items and products that require some learning and instruction but at some point, after you are off and running with it, whatever it is...you now have the responsibility. You must pilot the situation, item or outcome TAKE CHARGE Training and instruction for anything exists and is a good starting point to plant ones feet from. Then, the learning curve where YOU meet up with the OTHER and then you learn the ease of use by trial and error. Then, on to … (6 comments)
seasoned: ABILITY MAKES YOU ELIGIBLE FOR RESPONSIBLITY
- 10/02/13 01:03 AM
Often those that have the vision or can see a way or solution are also the ones that have to go on point and make it happen. That clarity or focus is no accident but really a call to action by the one who is observing. It's an invitation to carpe diem, to achieve and trigger the skills bank of an individual to wake-up, activate to maximum and.... go to work... CONSULT AND THEN HIRE I find that this dynamic surfaces also when I am giving free consultations on various subject matters as well. Third party objective hearing and seeing produces results more often than not. If you … (4 comments)

With all this past and current foreclosure nonsense, litigation, short selling, loan moodifications, and all the rest of it.....one wonders what will become of the Real Estate industry future. This is a fair question and cannot be answered in detail mainly because Real Estate is so vast and also because we are often in the eye of the hurricane unable to see what lies ahead I will tell you share with you a few things.... 1. If we had to pay for all this Real Estate publicity,, we are talking multi-Billions in dollars spent. I dare say that is conservative. That … (11 comments)
seasoned: ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH REAL ESTATE
- 04/16/13 11:25 PM
The selling or buying public to be often gets their first time education in Real Estate and the problem is they don't deal in it enough to learn about it the way professional agents do. You see agents deal in it everyday and we get to see what does or does not take place, work or make sense. How much can anyone really know about anything that they have not been exposed to for any length of time? EXPENSIVE FUN? That's why it is important to consult with experienced people in whatever you are considering doing. Name the subject and this … (5 comments)

When I used to work at Disneyland years ago, I noticed that they had ticket takers that ranged in age from 25-80 years old. Everyone is kind, courteous, and helpful when admitting you into the Park...I couldn't help seeing the the elderly got more of a joy out of it especially with the young kids coming in...What did they know about this? THE AWE OF IT ALL They knew how special it would be for a young kid to come into Disneyland and they lend support to that knowledge to make it extra special. It is a deep and genuine greeting … (8 comments)

I remember when I first got into the Restaurant business. A seasoned pro second generation took me under his wing and began for me an extra-ordinary journey into this industry and career field. Having the savvy and experience allows sight and hearing far above the casual visitor or observer THE PARKING LOT SPEAKS The man owned a chain of restaurants and took me to one. The education started from when we parked and then approached the restaurant. He was busy picking up trash and debris on the way in as well as looking at the landscape and approach to the restaurant. … (4 comments)
