I can't believe it's been 12 months since I joined the ranks of the Florida Real Estate Sales Professionals. Wow, 12 months!!! Seems longer than that! I've learned a lot over this past year, because as many of you know, I came from public sector real estate. That is a whole different ball game from the private market. Same rules: different game.
When I was driving to work this morning, it struck me it was time for gratitude.... Time to say thanks to some key people that have been helping me learn, avoid mistakes, clean up mistakes, you name it as a newbie to this business. So here is my list of All Stars for 2007-2008!
Tom Jacobs- Thank you for letting me interrupt your thinking to answer my many questions when no one else is around! I know that can be irritating and I appreciate your patience!
- Carol Palacios - Thank you for the guidance with the contracts and the strategy - you deserve a medal for getting all the rookies through their initial contracts and closings!
- Amanda Weldon - How you manage to keep all the balls in the air like you do amazes me... and
you never lose your temper or get short with people! You are awesome!
- Dave Peeples - Our General Manager..... the tough military guy who works circles around EVERYONE , is really good with his people skills, and is a superior trainer. I somehow manage to interrupt him at the worst time... but he never shows it. Thank you for your tremendous efforts on behalf of this team!
- And last, but most definitely not least is the big guy, former Army, our Broker, Joe Manausa. A nicer guy would be hard to find. He works hard to inspire his troops (meaning us) and he is constantly seeking ways to train us to be a better sales team. He has annual goals set for each of us - and we are a team of 60+!!!
There are more folks at the Century 21 First Realty Team that also deserve thanks - but these guys stand out. They give everyday - to all of us at C-21... and I would not be writing this blog if it weren't for them (Joe is really to blame... but that's a story I wrote 8 months ago!).
Thank you to one and all for helping me in my first year - I hope I am as successul as you all have been in this business!!!
Gratitude is a good thing - look around your life and see who you have to feel grateful for - and then let them know it.
Thanks ActiveRain!
