RE/MAX of Michigan Regional Conference and Drummond Island

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Eagle Properties

I just returned this evening from my first conference for RE/MAX of Michigan.

Talk about a shot of B-12.  Wow!  I haven't felt this positive since I passed my exam on the first try.

After a dismal year in 07 and making a grand total of $2,144.15 and paying out....Well you know how it is!

I am delighted and a bit humbled at what I saw and learned.  We enjoyed many workshops as well as two great keynote speakers.  My favorite.  David Knox, without a doubt.    Funny, entertaining, but with unforgettable object lessons.  His humor only serves to drive his point to the real message.  Clearly his speaking is to urge us all to be the best.

I met so many wonderful Realtors, and attended my first Sales Advisory Council meeting to which I was appointed as the representative for our 3 offices.  Fabulous group of professionals.  Fun, friendly, helpful, caring.  Coming back to Drummond Island this evening there are many wonderful conversations, contacts and so much wisdom from those before me.  Some of the other Realtors were my age, 20, 30 or more years younger and still helpful.

I took a workshop with Paul Hicks, RE/MAX Sunset on websites and BLOGGING!  Active/Rain was known by about a third of us. 

I have many reasons to smile tonight.

Monday morning, with my list in hand, work will be new and exciting.

 NOTE;

A HUGE heartfelt THANK YOU to my Broker/Owner Joan Reed of RE/MAX Eagle Properties Kinross, Cedarville, soon to be Sault Saint Marie, Michigan

Thank you Joan, you're the BEST,  just the BEST!  The ride home today was wonderful.  I will take care of that "To Do" list you gave me.

Vivienne...What good news.  Thanks for sharing.  It is always so uplifting to know that someone has been rejuvenated and is ready to jump right back in with even more enthusiasm.  Plus it's so nice to see you back on the Rain, after all you are one of my Raindrops.

Wishing you much success in 2008.  Those of us that stick with real estate reap the rewards.

Good going!!!

Kathleen

P.S.  Kudos to your broker.  You are very fortunate that she has such faith in you and proves it.

Hello Kathleen,  Thank you for your response.

Rejuvenated.  That's the word.  And we shall reap the rewards.  2008 is going to be a good year inspite of the naysayers.  Bank on it.  I will work smarter this year.  Been spinning my wheels for too long.

Yes my Broker is great.  Disappointing her ruins my day.  However she is so patient always saying.  "you made a mistake, learn and move on.  I wonder if she ever gets mad at anyone.  She has the patience of Job.
