thomas j nelson realtor carmel valley: Whiskey's Wisdom: Never Wasted
- 08/20/22 08:12 AM
"Kindness is never wasted.
If it has no effect on the recipient,
at least it benefits the bestower."
~ Biologist, S.H. Simmons
Your action for today
is to do something kind for your relationship,
a family member, a customer or someone
that maybe you don't feel deserves it...
but it's worth a try!
I recently did this for a client I don't like,
but it actually went incredibly well
and gave us (in my mind)
a nice chance to reset.

thomas j nelson realtor carmel valley: Tales and Testimonials From The Trenches
- 08/15/22 06:12 AM
Thank You Stephen & Asako!
Testimonial from Homebuyers sharing their experience
from one of then most competitive markets (2020-22) of the last 25 years.
The Pandemic of 2020-2021 not only postponed the recession we were heading into around February 2020, but it caused a very unexpected Real Estate Boom by APRIL of 2020 which lasted 2 full years.
While this market has seemed to reach it's peak as of March 2022 due to inflation and interest rates rising, it's simply gone from a boom-market to a "normalized" one.
Finding the right real estate agent is not easy, because 85% do not run their … (7 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor carmel valley: What Do You Charge⁉ 😱 What Is The Rate⁉ 😤
- 07/15/22 05:30 PM
"What do you charge?"
If you own a business, don't you find it frustrating when the first question you're asked by a prospective client/customer is "how much"? Sometimes, over the phone, there's no introduction even, just a question blurted out as you answer.
(You scanners vs. readers, don't miss Jason's great quotes below.)
My response is to ask them some questions:
"Don't you want to know what I can do for you first?"
"Shouldn't you explain what your needs are of me, before I blindly quote you?"
"Maybe hear why I am different than your other choices?"

thomas j nelson realtor carmel valley: Points Store #1 Purchase Ooh LA LA
- 07/09/22 05:08 PM
Dining at ADMO Les Ombres
We of course chose this from the points store because we wanted to fine dine with the best cuisine, in a romantic city that provides the most amazing Eifel Tower view.
We're planning a trip to Paris this year for our 20th Wedding Anniversary, so this Points Package Offering will help supplement the trip.
Paris is on my bucket list for the obvious reasons and the no-so-obvious reason that I am in fact part French. My family lineage there is is through both the Denue's and the Leonhardt's. We grew up speaking French only at the dinner table, no … (20 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor carmel valley: How To Be A REALTOR® and Still Have A Life. Part 1
- 06/04/22 09:13 AM
How To Be A REALTOR® and Still Have A Life. Part 1
Is Real Estate 24/7? NO! People without boundaries are 24/7. Can you take a full day off in Real Estate? YES! Consider it to avoid burnout. REALTORS® Take Vacations??? YES! Go enjoy your hard work by stepping away from it. Your Boundaries are only respected by others, if you respect them too.
Don't violate your own boundaries!
There's always going to the agents that work 24/7, they think it's their mojo, they believe it's necessary. They may even attribute their success to this very approach and see my opinion as … (8 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor carmel valley: Don't! Don't!! Don't!!! Torpedo Your Loan
- 05/26/22 02:28 PM
Your lender checks your credit at pre-approval and again before you close escrow, so please do not torpedo the efforts of your Lender & REALTOR®!!! When you're about to finance buying a house or even refinancing, there's a lot of "Don'ts" to be aware of.
I've learned some of these the hard way and between these hard lessons learned and constantly being educated by my buddy and #1 Lender Jason E. Gordon,
of Amerifirst Financial, I've learned to warn my clients about the following rules:
Don't buy or lease a new car at all, until after you close escrow. Don't open new credit … (23 comments)

thomas j nelson realtor carmel valley: Get After It: 🎼Change🎶
- 05/04/22 05:59 AM
"There is no scarcity of opportunity
to make a living at what you love;
there's only scarcity of resolve
to make it happen."
~ Author, Wayne Dyer
Your action for today
is to ask yourself if you are making a living
at what you love. If you are,
take a few moments to enjoy it.
If you aren't, see if a change of attitude
will allow you to enjoy what you do.
If that doesn't work, set an intention to be doing something you love one year from today.

thomas j nelson realtor carmel valley: Get After It: 🎶 "But You Did, But You Did. And I Thank You." 🎵🎼
- 04/30/22 08:09 PM
There's a couple old jokes about the guy winning a big award
giving his acceptance speech...
"And I'd like to thank all the people I stepped on to get here..."
or
"Let me tell you about my 20-year-long journey to my 'overnight success'..."
The point is summed up here:
"Few people are successful
unless a lot of other people
want them to be."
Judge, Charles Brower
Your action for today
is to think of two people
who want you to succeed
and thank them.
If you think I make it look easy, thank you,
but what you don't see is
the tedious work, the effort when I'm fatigued,

thomas j nelson realtor carmel valley: Active Rain On Me... (An April Challenge)
- 04/02/22 08:59 AM
What Does Active Rain Mean to me?
April 2022 Challenge
My First Active Rain Meetup
I joined Active Rain October 8, 2008, and I had no idea what blogging was, why people did it and even more baffling to me; why would I care what you wrote unless you were a famous author?!
I was introduced to Active Rain almost 14 years ago by Russel Ray, who is Jim Frimmer's husband (#37 in CA) and used to be my property inspector. Russel at that time was the #1 blogger on Active Rain in CA and I believe in the top 10 of the US … (66 comments)

A post I enjoyed by Peter den Boer today (03/11/2022) inspired this post of mine, so thank you Peter.
Same News, Different Day
- Requires A Different Agent
I shared in my comment to Peter, that now more than ever, despite all the APPs and technology drowning our clients in information and access; you need a professional REALTOR® consultant and sales expert. They need a different kind of agent, (a resolute) one that can help them navigate this flood of info (and news) and help it make sense; to impart the wisdom of our experience on them and guide them to a successful … (6 comments)
