Well for those of you that haven't noticed......I'm now with Keller Williams!  And that... is what I was doing in Austin - Texas last week!  Corporate head office for KW is in Austin...........and I was there for a Training Bootcamp.......

Some Think its Wacky and Weird - Where am I? - Update - I'm in Austin, Texas

Austin City Limits - Part II - and an appearance by Jason Crouch!

So after 20 years of selling Real Estate - I've now accepted as position as Team Leader and Managing Broker for the Keller Williams Valley Realty office in Abbotsford, B.C.

  How did THAT happen you say? lol  Well...I've always wanted to get into managing, training/coaching etc.....and its kind of interesting...how preparation can meet opportunity!.

..........It was here on A/R that I first found out about Keller Williams.......there were many posts written by Keller Williams Realtors.......whom I admired......and I was curious about their company and its unique philosphy..........

One day I said........."too bad we don't have a Keller Williams here in Canada".........and low and behold one of those Realtors did some research and found out ............that there WAS a Keller Williams office.......in a town 30 minutes from me ..........and they called the Manager and that Manager called me!......... Its rather amazing how a strange series of events led me down this road of opportunity.

After many many interviews.....testing, personality profiles......more interviews.........and an intensive reference check, up 15 to be exact........I completed a vetting process that surely outrivaled Sarah Palin's! :-)... and I was offered the position...:-)

So here I am, finally living my dream!  I've just completed my first week, of  just beginning to get to know the 70 or so Realtors in our Keller Williams Family.........of getting to know a new town (Abbotsford is approximately 30 minutes west of Chilliwack)........familiarizing myself with the competition (other Real Estate Companies) in my community......putting a recruiting process in place.......immersing myself in Gary Keller's books like the  The Millionaire Real Estate and Shift............

Having my First Sales meeting.....reading and reviewing contracts..........planning a training schedule..........and booking my next trip to Austin next month.........its been a WOW of a week..........

I'm thrilled to be here.........I'm passionate about the Keller Williams model, philosophy and culture...........I'm falling in love with my New Keller Williams Family.....and looking forward to sharing some of it in future posts!
