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.

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…
It’s Okay For Things To Be Different
I often find myself comparing things. I compare my business this year to years past.I compare my health and fitness to where I was 10 years ago.I compare how I show up and experience different life events. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…
I Used To Be So Afraid Of This…
I used to dread client conversations. Especially pricing conversations with sellers in a softer market, like we are in right now. I was afraid of letting them down. It came up this week with a new listing. They bought at the height of the market in 2022. Today’s prices are lower than that. How do…
What If Your Income Didn’t Depend On The Market?
There are multiple markets occurring right now – in the same cities, on the same streets. Sellers are experiencing it one way. Buyers are experiencing it another. And agents? All over the board. Same market. Completely different results. So what’s the difference? What you believe. What you look for. And how you show up. Two…
Permission To Fall Apart: The Truth About Resetting Your Energy
What if your next breakthrough is on the other side of your next melt down? There’s a side to energy and mindset work that no one talks about. Most teachings only talk about being positive. As in – ignore whatever you truly feel and pretend everything is amazing in hopes that you eventually believe it.…
