Always do more than expected.

I just received this from a mentor:

The reason a lot of people don't recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard word. - Thomas Edison, considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,093 U.S. patents, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France and Germany.

Very true!  Opportunity is all around us.  Most of us cannot even see it.

Great point :-) Many of us are constantly walking around with our blinders on and fail to recognize a good opportunity.

Thanks for the comments on the quote..

But I have to politely disagree with Hollis. Because of our expertize and our talents in these difficult times this is the exact perfect time for us all to be in real estate.

I firmly believe we Realtors have the greatest opportunity today to show what we can do.
