Realtor Idol

By
Real Estate Agent with United Realty Group SL0475285

RIWho’s your Realtor Idol?  When I first got active in Howard Brinton’s Star Power Systems, I met some people that were doing some outstanding levels of business! It was incomprehensible that someone could actually earn $5 million dollars in commission income in one year!  Rather than be a “Simon Cowell” type of judge, I thought I’d be more of the "Paula Abdul" type! Get out of judgment and into inquiry!  Those people, doing extraordinary levels of business became my “Realtor Idols”.  I aspired to adopt some of their traits. I learned as much as I could from them!  Who’s your Realtor Idol?

Great picture... I think that it really helps to look to someone who is successful to get new ideas and broaden expectations for yourself.... or you might be the one to set the pace... Iron sharpens iron.

Bob Bohlen is my hero and who I want to be when I grow up.  Met him at StarPower a few years ago, he's a HIGH D with no apologies and this year will take home over $2mil in NET profit...that would work for me!

Hi Leigh, Bob Bohlen is who I was referring to in my blog.  He was number 1 in Prudential internationally with over $5 million in gross commission income when I first met him about 10 years ago! I would eat the corn out of his poop!

There are many stars I have great relationships with especially the ones from the University's.  Some of my favorites are the older ones but I wouldn't want to name names or hurt anyone's feelings.

Realtor Idol, if I had to be any realtor I would want to be Phyllis Doonan or Lorraine Leonard, both are in the Greenwich/Stamford.  They have many listings, they make lots of money and they advertise everywhere.  I love the advertising part and the money I guess comes along with it.

My heroes are Alan and Linda Sandlin here on Marco Island.   I worked for them for a little over two years and I find that the lessons I learned working with them gave me a wonderful foundation to build my own business.   But more and more it is the members here at Active Rain that are becoming my heroes.
