This is my friend David Aguirre.
Even though he’s from Texas A & M I still like the man. Sometimes he comes up to my area to play a few rounds of golf. This past Sunday we were playing one of the courses and on the 18th hole I hit a monster of a T shot for me. We got into the cart and headed over to my grandsons ball. When we arrived I noticed a group of people in the area where we were to hit the second shot. After a few minutes with no one moving David and I in different carts drove to the area and saw a man down. As I exited my cart I thought for sure the man was a goner. I asked his friends about his medical history (didn’t want to go pounding on the chest if he had, had recent heart surgery, a pacemaker etc.) David showed up a few seconds later and asked did anyone know CPR. As I started to straddle the man’s chest and start chest compressions David said wait one.
David tilted the man’s head back and pinched the nose took one breath and blew into the man’s mouth. Immediately the man responded as the ambulance arrived we went on with the game.
I am proud to call David a friend and now a life saver.
Thinking back on the moment and of course anyone who knows me knows I’m going to relate this to real estate. It only took a small amount of air to revive the man and bring him back from the brink of death. To the owners and principal brokers what will it take to make the good agents into great ones? Maybe just a small amount of fresh air or a new way to look at doing something to motivate the agents is all it will take.
Doing nothing may result in the death (not literally) of the agent and maybe your company. All in all the decision is yours now what say you?
