The Best Advice Ever
I ran across this question a few weeks back and have had these thoughts ruminating in the recesses of my mind. I decided to put them to rest by posting my views on the “The Best advice I’ve ever received” in our industry.
There’s a couple of directions one can take with this question.
1. Advice from a teacher/trainer towards agent behavior and practices
2. Advice from peers with regards on how to treat our clients
Or …any variety of those two scenarios.
The first thought that came to my mind was something I’d heard repeatedly with different phrasing, right about the time … (4 comments)

A Lesson in Perception
I've been mulling over a small incident of months past and decided today to write about it.
I guess I'd call it a lesson in PERCEPTION.
I belong to the Marana Chamber, and several months into my membership, decided to start attending the Monthly Networking Breakfast to meet other professionals in my area. The breakfast starts at 7 and the networking starts at 7:45 and continues to 9. Folks show up at all times. After the initial business and sponsorship talks, each Chamber member stands for a 30 second introduction about themselves and their business or non-profit.

Upon arriving home to Marana from our two week vacation, we had a new resident on our property that had made her home on our front door. Unfortunately, Mother bird lacked the foresight to think ahead when planning her "forever home".
We carefully moved the wreath to a nearby plant stand and propped it, and its three little gifts within.
When looking for the perfect spot for your own new house, keep in mind that location can be very important!
Another great tip to keep in mind is, as your family or lifestyle "grows", will you have enough room?
