I Would Take Time Off But…
I’m too busy and I can’t leave my clients. Or. I’m slow, I can’t afford to take time off. It’s the age old question of real estate. What comes first, the vacation or the transaction? I’ve talked to a lot of agents lately that really want a vacation, but feel like they are too busy.…
Read MoreWeekly Experiments on Focus and Results
I love the word ‘experiment’ for so many reasons, but especially when it comes to life and business. Setting goals and action plans always feel so stressful and charged. What if they don’t work? How do you know at the beginning if you’ve chosen the right one? If you don’t get the desired result whose…
Read MorePerfectly Imperfect
I always have been, and always will be – proud to be an American. Does it mean I agree with everything, of course not, but at the end of the day I am grateful for our country and all of her imperfections. The vastness, the variety, and ability to experience so much. We as individuals…
Read MoreBonding With Buyers Agents
I used to dread calling Buyers agents after an offer review when they didn’t get the house. It’s never fun to deliver bad news, but I’ve found that if you lean in, there can be some great bonding moments that happen. Because at some point, we are all Buyer’s agents. For that specific property I…

Read MoreKeeping Your Sanity in Multiple Offers
It’s offer review day and you just submitted an offer for your buyers. Que Jeapordy music. The moment you hit send on the email and confirm receipt with the listing agent time seems to slow down as you wait for a response. At first the hope is that your clients get the house, but as…
Read MoreLet Go of What’s Not Working
Last week we talked about adding activities that make a positive difference. This week will help to make room for them. Adding good things is great, but it’s just as important to let go of what’s not working. It might be an action or activity that isn’t serving you right now, or a mindset. Notice…
Read MoreDiscipline vs Motivation
We talk a lot about motivation – the inner drive to succeed. In theory, if you are motivated enough, motivation is all you need to achieve a goal. It sounds petty simple, but somewhere along the way motivation stops being enough. And that’s where things get sticky. My guess is that you set some sort…
Read MoreDo You Have a Comparison Hang Over?
I hope that you are crazy busy right now selling more homes than you ever have before. But on the off chance you’re not, this one’s for you. If you are like me, you track the market every day and are connected with lots of agents on social media. Some because you are friends, and…
