Do you have GREAT training right under your nose?

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with Watson Realty Corp. REALTORS

I consider myself to be very fortunate to have a very skilled real estate trainer at my finger tips.  Midori Miller is Daytona Beach, Florida's top real estate trainer and she works for my company CENTURY21 Sundance Realty. 

We all have the opportunity to learn and some of us take advantage of it and some of us feel we are to busy.  Well, when Midori came to our office almost 4 years I was very busy, the top dog of our company for many years in a row and had no time for one on one training.  I am an REALTOR who prides herself in continued education and I did not take advantage of this one on one training until recently.

I can honestly say, "Thanks to Midori I am in front of the eight ball with Web 2.0".  Yes, for the last two years Midori has been very politely tell me to blog, blog and do more blogging.  Well I haven't quite mastered that but I can say that I'am putting forth a honest effort. 

Month after month she would give me projects to do such as joining social networks such as Active Rain, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc..  At first I felt like a fish out of water and even to this day sometimes I feel like she is speaking to me in a foreign language.

Paradigm Logo For the last two days I have been in a REO certification class with Paradigm Default System.  The content of the course was everything I already knew but now I have credibility to my knowledge. 

The last part of the class was on Web 2.0. Let me tell you, I knew everything they were teaching the class and I owe all that to Midori, because she helped me become knowledgeable in an area that I didn't think I really understood

So I guess the message here is take advantage of the training that might be right under your nose and don't take it for granted.  As we all know it doesn't always last not everything is forever.

Theresa:

First of all, let me welcome you into The Rain! As you might already know...this will be one of the best experiences of your real estate career.

Secondly....I am trying to be a classmate of yours in the "Miller College of Effective Blogging". I have asked Midori for some advice on taking my blog to the next level in 2009. Hopefully, we'll get the opportunity to share stories about the AR Goddess known as Midori.

Don't feel alone. I'm 50,000 points into this thing and I still feel like a fish out of water!

If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Welcome, Theresa! You don't know how lucky you are to have someone of Midori's caliber right in the same company with you. Actually, I guess you do know! Anyway, I'd like to have someone like her lviing in the same state as me, let alone the same company. Good luck hanging out in the Rain, and I look forward to reading your posts in the future!

Theresa-  When I first received an invite to AR, I joined and entered my profile but didn't have a clue, what to do next.  It took me more than a year to come back and really take some time to explore this fabulous network.  You're very lucky to have Midori as a mentor.  Keep blogging.

Theresa,

You have one real good trainer in Midori.  If I were you I would be picking her brain everyday.  BTW, did I mention that she is a real sweetheart?  And you can tell her I said so too.

Welcome to AR

Thank you to everyone who took the time to post a comment on this blog.  I really do appreciate it very much.   By the way I do realize the phenomenal opportunity I have to train with Midori and take advantage of it but also try not to abuse it either.

I got to finally meet Midori in person last month in Orlando.  You are quite fortunate to have her in your office.
