Something Different?

By
Real Estate Agent with West End Residential

Well, this is my first post of any type so lets try something completely different, shall we?  It seems that nearly every blog entry on this site is related to real estate or an agents' attempt to promote themselves or their listings or the like and that's ok.... but let's try this:   www.mountainman.org.   Any of you realtor's up to the challange? I can think of only one- Michael Elms from ReMAx Properties Unlimited.  See, it seems that we realtors eat, sleep, and breathe real estate and thats about it.  But I challange you to do something different...

 As realtors we all have a past life that includes hobbies and interests;  I was, and still am, a personal trainer.  This "hobby" has been a great source of referrals and motivation within my real estate career but more importantly, it gives me that much needed break away from real estate.  I'll expand upon this later on but for now I'll just say that having a challange other than real estate goals can be quite effective in recharging your life.  Had a deal go sour? Go for a run.  Seller refuse to fix things? Go for a bike ride.  These things can completely change your mood and clear your head. 

The link above is for one of the hardest challanges you'll ever face- but you'll never be more proud of yourself for doing it.

Very cool website, Peter!  Welcome to ActiveRain!  I would also like to invite you to WannaNetwork Real Estate Community.  ActiveRain is an outstanding blogging setup, and WannaNetwork has the forum setup.  So, you get the best of both worlds.  Take care, Peter!

Hi Peter, welcome. Not all of our posts are about promoting ourselves and our listings. You will see a lot of postings of information and sharing of ideas. Some times we post things completely out of the industry.

Welcome to AR.  If you stop by my blog you will find a LOT that isn't about real estate...  A lot!  Occasionally, I write about real estate, too.

Peter,

I think I'm already doing that although I have learned many things from the other agents on this site and I'm grateful for it. I don't just write about Real Estate but  I write about my area and what is happening in it or where to go and do things.  I like mixing it up a bit.  Good luck and welcome to active rain. :)
