Farming with Family

Minot real estate

For some Realtors it's all about the money, for me it's all about the family... Your family and Mine.

Family Farming

As the Broker/Owner of National Marketing Realtors in Minot ND I love how my occupation allows me to work with my family for the well being of your family. My kids have been involved with my work ever since they were old enough to help with cleaning, mowing lawns, help with a radio commercial, and help dad with farming.

In Real Estate "Farming" is marketing and most often referring to mailing information, such as a news letter, to a specific area. Today Tina and Timmothy helped me catch up with addressing envelopes for my monthly news letter that I got behind on with one of my office helpers being sick last week.

After today I may have a harder time recruiting Tina. She will be turning 16 this weekend and starts her first real job at The Roosevelt Park Zoo on Monday. Lucky for me I still have Timmothy for another 3 years before I may lose him to a "real" employer.

When you are looking for a Realtor in the Minot area I hope you will consider hiring my family to help Your family. There are Realtors who are in it for the money and there are those like National Marketing Realtors who are in it for The Family.

Well Bobby she is a very attractive young lady. She MUST take after your wife.

Giving kids a good start in life by having them "work" with you is great.

Oh, and BTW you get tax advantages for "paying" them. I hope you set up ROTH IRAs for them to put this pay to work for their future.

Yes, after 50 years a small initial investment will really be something AND TAX FREE.

Their money does go into an education fund but I will take your advice and check into a ROTH IRA as well Bill Roberts

I love and adore this post. Not only that they've been helping you and being involved in what you do, but also that Tina is going to work for the Zoo. That's a perfect job for a young person on so many levels. 

Congrats, dad. (And with five miliary bases in town, her sweatshirt is a common sight around here)

Even more cause for congratulations . . . NORAD is one of our bases, so if any one is left who is protected, it's us

Thanks Mimi Foster . WOW, 5 bases, I did not know Colorado Springs was so well protected. Tina earned that sweatshirt in ROTC and in fact we are going to an awards banquet tonight for ROTC.
