ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE; Realtor takes time to help a fellow Realtor in Katy TX

By
Real Estate Agent with Liz Carter & Team Realty-Your Real Estate Resource For Life!

Guess it's the season that caused me to use this heading, but a wonderful thing happen last night.  I was in my 2 people under umbrellaoffice a little late and an agent brought in a contract on one of my listings in Cinco Ranch.  I was in a hurry so just took the contract said thanks, and was walking away, when I looked down and saw the name of the agent.  He happen to be the #1 agent for Katy TX on Active Rain, and I am #4, but far behind him in knowledge of bloging being almost 60 years old...this is a whole new world for me :)!  So I yelled out, "hey Jeff do you have a second?".  Being the nice man he is, he took the time to give me some pointers on Active Rain...THANKS JEFF!  I have been posting blogs to help other Realtors, since I am a firm believer in, "You need to give to receive", but had been limiting my blogs to TX rather than posting to the whole country of Realtors out there.  I've have had a very successful career as a Realtor since 1976, and truly want to help as many agents as I can to become better trained, give better service to our clients, become more successful and in less time with less stress.  So if you missed some of my blogs and need help in any of the following areas, please take a look at some of my blogs on Active Rain, I hope they are helpful, and wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Liz.

9.  CLUELESS REALTOR; Need a good laugh...read on!, just a funny story...will work on getting the rest linked so you can just click on them, but it's late.  This is an old post, so is in the process of being redone.

I will try to get better at this, and do have a few more out there also that might be of interest to you.  Check them out and let me know if you have any questions from a veteran of Real Estate that is willing to share.  Thanks again Terry, my fellow Active Rain agent that was also willing to STOP and take the time to share!

Liz, it amazed me on how the ThemThem Group took off, but never second guessed that the Real Estate Professionals weren't a positive pay it forward group. Glad you are part of our group and look forward to reading more of your posts.

Dale, hard to believe someone has not captured your heart yet.  By the way I put your name first on my dance card, and posted it on "our" Tex, Molly site.  Liz

Latonia, nice to meet you and yes it does.  Just found this on a site for wedding stuff, and it was words to live by that everyone wrote out for the bride and groom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice words too.  Liz

I have found the agents in my office have been more helpful and have taken more time to help me then my manager.  I love this business.

Brad- Sounds like you do not have a very good manager...you're paying them to help you.  They benefit by the agents doing well and should do everything in their power to help you achieve your goals.  However you can do it without their help, I never had any.  That's why I went to Mike Ferry and pay him to coach me, now thats money well spent.  Hope your 2008 is Great!  Liz
