If You Love Something Set It Free: If It Doesn’t Come Back, Something Better Will
My good friend and fellow Realtor, Erin, shared this story with me and it was just too good not to share. It is a perfect example focusing on the desired end result, but not getting to worried about how you get there. Sometimes there is a better solution than even you could have thought of.
Erin has some Buyer’s that she has been working with for well over a year. She sold their home a while ago, they love her as an agent, but they were starting to get sucked into feeling like they needed a ‘neighborhood expert’ in the area that they were looking to buy and like they should perhaps find a different agent. Erin got wind of this and didn’t want to loose a chance to work with a client that she really enjoyed and also didn’t want to loose the chance at the commission check. She started pursuing these people and could just feel that it wasn’t clicking. She was starting to feel icky about pursuing them.
So she decided to let them go. She sent a very nice and well written note to the Buyer’s letting them know how much she appreciates them and that although she would love to work with them she understood their desire to find an agent that specialized in their new community and wished them well. Not only did she get an incredibly heartfelt note back from her client raving about how much they love her and will refer her in the future and they appreciate her grace in respecting their decision, but the same day that she sent that note she received referrals for new clients whose commissions will equal more than DOUBLE what she would have made from the other clients.
Proof that sometimes you just need to have a little faith and make room for something great to happen.

It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too
I’ve spent years working on my own limiting beliefs — but I discovered one at the Abraham Hicks workshop last weekend that I had completely missed. Esther, aka Abraham Hicks, has been a leader in mindset, energy, and attraction for decades. My mom actually took my sister and me to a workshop 30 years ago,…
Bet On Yourself VS The Market
Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…
I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August
Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…
Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start
August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…
What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…
How Do You Want Summer To Feel?
Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…
You’re Not Behind, There Are Infinite Options
Your in box is about to fill up with emails about us being 1/2 through the year. You know – the ones that ask if you’re on track with your goals, and offer a solution to whip you into shape for the next 6 months. If you are having a great year – I celebrate…
Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…
The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…
Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
