Class Act!!
Hi Nicole,
Thank YOU for your kind and very gracious note (and handwritten, to boot!)
I was going to send an email to you thanking you for your understanding – and you beat me to it through snail mail (the tortoise and the hare come to mind) J !
Anyway, let me just say you are one Classy person – and a great friend. Thanks Nicole!
All the Best,
Ron
~ The title of this blog post is the email subject line that my client Ron just sent me and above is the actual email.
We all know that hand written note cards are an impactful way to stay in touch with people. Yes, we live in a digital age, but there is something about receiving a beautiful card in the mail that is special.
I have been advocating writing notes to your clients for years and for some reason it is something that agents always get hung up on. They don’t have the perfect card to send. They don’t like their handwriting. Get over it! Stop by the book store or stationary store and buy 3 boxes of cards to have at your desk and then get going. And don’t sweat your handwriting. Mine is awful and I still get responses like the one above.
The other thing that people stress about is what to say. It is a note card. 2-3 sentences, max so again ~ don’t get so worked up about it. Just be genuine. You can send people cards for all sorts of reasons:
~ I was thinking about you today and wanted to say hello
~ It was great running into you at the park today with the kids, let’s do it again soon
~ Thanks so much for your help with …..
~ I just want you to know how much I appreciate you. Thank you
Once you get going it’s pretty easy. So reach out to people with a note. You might be pleasantly surprised by the response.

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…
