A woman borrows $1,500 from a friend, promising to pay it back as soon as possible. For several years, she was asked to honor the past agreement. Instead of doing the right thing, she sends a letter from an attorney, with a cease and desist demand to stop harassing his client.
Is that any way to treat someone who was there to help?
Every relationship depends on honesty between parties. If that is lacking, there is no trust. When someone gives you their word, they are bound by a promise but do not always follow through. This is … (16 comments)
Transitioning from working many years for a home builder to building a real estate business came with many challenges. One of the biggest was treating it as a business rather than a job.
No longer was a boss going to hand me a check every two weeks, it was up to me to find viable sources to bring in buyers and sellers. I took classes and went to seminars to gain knowledge.
I teamed up with a mentor and was able to get a listed property sold quickly, by also bringing in the buyer. I was like a sponge, paying … (18 comments)
In any profession, there are those who put in 110% and then some who get by with minimal effort. Our daughter-in-law is proof that when you consistently embrace the challenge and move forward with confidence, the rewards are endless.

As an incentive for increased business and for encouraging individual sales goals, PK Real Estate Utah has implemented a cap program. Once an agent pulls in an agreed upon dollar amount, the brokerage allows 100% fee free structure for the remainder of the year.

exceeding expectations: Show up...
- 09/24/15 11:30 PM
Show up... I gladly have a lifetime front row seat to our family's happenings. Is it ever enough just to show up? Not in my opinion, it takes being present with your heart and leaving the ego behind.
And in business, putting the ultra ego in check while keeping the clients goals in mind will also serve a person well. Happy sales all!
As summer winds down, giving way to fall, many plants are nearing the end of their growing cycles. Where vivid greens and vibrant blooms once stayed, tans, yellows and browns are now in garden fashion.
Cooler temperatures, along with shorter days determine the work day for many still foraging for daily food. Early risers net better results when meeting the day, rather than chasing time.
Continue making a show of it by getting up, dressing up and making an appearance. The desire to achieve goals dwells in every living being but the instinct to survive is a fight to … (14 comments)
