real estate: Communicating with Internet Leads - 11/06/16 05:39 AM
So the world of marketing has evolved much over the last number of years. The fact is, the whole world of relationships has taken a new step.
A step in the right direction? 
As a person who loves people and enjoys meeting, networking and engaging in conversations I must say the Internet has greatly expanded my capacity to connect. 
The challenge however is the time it takes to actually get face to face interactions with Internet Leads. 
I have found that Internet Leads are more impersonal than I would like as I always like to get straight to the conversation and find out how I can serve! 
The folks … (2 comments)

real estate: The psychology of winning. - 07/12/16 12:10 AM
I really enjoy listening to Denis Waitley. He is a great speaker who has helped me often with his genuine presence and his way of getting his point across strong and smooth.
I would like to share some of his quotes:
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.   There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.   The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of … (2 comments)

real estate: So how's the market? - 07/02/16 10:08 PM
I absolutely love hearing that question! 
Where ever I am, that is my favorite conversation starter, mainly because the person asking may be an interested party who may have property! And said ask-er is most likely responding to my answer to "what do you do". 
As a Realtor, I really enjoy getting into conversations about people's homes, lives, dreams and aspirations. Call me crazy but I just love people, even the difficult clients. 
"So How's the market"? Well, "I know that right now is the best time to buy OR sell Real Estate in Austin Texas". 
I know this because of the many years I have spent in … (2 comments)

real estate: What does commitment mean to you? - 06/26/16 10:30 PM
Our world is vast, the world is huge, and it's a small world after all.
I have heard these statements many times over my life. 
What does the world mean to you? 
Is your world too busy, too stressed or just right?
Based on your reflections, what might be a tell tail sign of how you see your world, is your commitments with your world.
Your world is based upon your experiences within it. You actually choose those experiences based on the thoughts you have and the actions you take.
The control lever to what happens in your world can be directly connected to your commitments.
Marriage, for example, … (11 comments)

real estate: Blogging, consistency and persistency. - 06/20/16 01:14 AM
I know a lot of professional Bloggers. I am not one of them, I am a Realtor®
My purpose for blogging is, first to share, second to gain exposure (and of course points!) and third to hopefully create relationships with other professional Realtors® in other parts of the world so we may exchange referrals! 
I am not new to the Real Estate industry but I am re-newed in my license status. 
I held my license and paid my dues for nearly 30yrs while building a very large manufacturing business. 
My wife of now, 34+ yrs was at a complete loss when I asked the question … (6 comments)

real estate: Kudos to the members of this fine community Active Rain! - 06/16/16 09:57 PM
 
So I wanted to share some of the answers I received from a question I asked here in the Active Rain Community. I am humbled by the incredible amount of support given here. 
I am quite proficient with many programs on the Internet yet when using them I also try my best to be as respectful to my peers within the community. I could have simply figured this out but something told me to ask the Active Rain community for some advice. 
I am very glad I did. 
This is a wonderful group of people representing our industry and I am very honored to be … (6 comments)

real estate: Facebook Lead Generation - 06/14/16 01:31 AM
The wonderful world of Facebook! If you are interested in making Facebook your marketing medium of choice there is no shortage of Gurus out there to help you out! But the almighty Facebook must be looked at as a business. They are there to make money and change the way the world communicates. 
Again, I stated, TO MAKE MONEY, then change the way the world communicates.
At this time the statistic I found states there are over 1.45billion people engaged in Facebook and around 7.4 billion people on the planet so somewhere around 20% of everyone on the planet are involved in this medium of … (1 comments)

real estate: Relationships and Scripts. - 05/29/16 04:51 AM
I had a discussion with my partner / Realtor / wife this morning and thought it might a good blog post. 
She has become quite versed at using scripts when talking to people and making calls.
I, on the other hand, am under the impression that given the amount of personal development training I have had over my career scripts, to me, appear salesy and less personal. 
I agree that you must have a way to "connect" with others or a good format yet most important you have to be filled with a feeling of who that person is and how you may help … (4 comments)
