Special offer

Old agents never die they teach new agents how to build bridges.

Diary of a Veteran Agent...I say experienced, and you may say old.

 

I'm beginning to show a little white on the top...but only my hair dresser knows for sure!

I love the sound of running Water...but it makes me have to pee.

 

Some of the new Real Estate Buzz words: Transparent and Authentic

When speaking of a Veteran Realtor of 25+ years...this translates to; You can see right through me and I've begun to rust.

They don't make them like they used too; In the old days there were always a few extra parts after your bridge was built, now it means you didn't follow the instructions and a catastrophic failure is likely. The best bridge builders aren't always the ones that posses the newest technologies, they are often the ones that have been building bridges the longest. Some of us have a little snow on top, are a bit rusty when it comes to the newest gadgets...and have to take a bathroom break once in a while, but we have been building bridges since you were in diapers. Ask me for advice or help and I'll gladly offer you a hand.

Very well put Steve.  Although you have me by about 10 years in Real Estate...I do have another 15 in retail.  In some way they all kind of lump together in the general scheme of things...

Any color left?

Bill...I know you are a fisherman, so you'll appreciate the metaphor about helping young agents.

     Give a man a fish and he'll eat tonight, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.

Laura...Our generation must be the bridge builders...many starting out are ready to go it alone very quickly and skip the journeyman work so many of us veterans took for granted.
